I'm almost 55 and it's not that hard. Harder than 10 years ago but it's still doable. The important thing is to not let yourself gain more than a couple lbs before you get it under control. If I had to lose 15+ lbs I'd prob be f'd.

You can lose it, it's just not going to be fast like when you're young.

When you are 20, if you start getting flabby you just don't eat dessert or maybe not supersize your fast food meal (back in da day son) and maybe not eat after 6pm if you really want to drop weight. When you are 40, you have to practically starve yourself not eating after lunch and exercise every day just to barely lose any.

A little off topic but how the hell are there fat kids? I mean, when I was a kid, I had a hard time putting on weight and was skinny AF. Now we have an obesity issue with kids. Back in the 80's, even 90's there might have been that one fat kid, but wasn't really even fat to todays standards. Come to think of it, not many of my freind's parents were fat either. That's why "yo mama so fat" jokes were the thing. Now you would end up pissing off the majority of other kids and probably get jumped.

I also don't understand how there can be fat kids.

When I was a kid I would eat until my stomach hurt, pretty much every meal. I was still normal weight.

I was a fat kid. Been fat as a kid and fat as am adult was skinny as a kid at one time and even in great shape as an adult I've lived with both. Nothing feels better than being on good shape. Nothing.

What was your diet like as a kid? How often did you eat out or from a box? vs your parents making meals from scratch?

There is a documentry called "Fat, sick, and nearly dead" and it talks about this. You see fat people taking pills all of the time, and if they would get their diet straight and lose the weight they probably wouldn't have the issues and have a better quality of life. Big Pharma makes a lot of money off pills so diet exercise is never pushed hard enough. People can take pills to at least think they are feeling better and it's something a doctor knows is easier so that's what they prescribe.

I think it's because most kids now have the activity level of senior citizens. When I was a kid, I couln't sit still. Still can't really. I had a WFH officecell job not long ago and having to be at a desk all day killed me.

I think so too. I'm grateful my parents only allowed me 1 hour of computer per day. Also we didn't have TV or video games. As a kid I hated it but I'm so grateful as an adult.

LMAO at being 60 pounds heavier than when you were "young"
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

There are fat kids now because kids are all addicted to screens and don't move at all. When I was young we lived outside being active. Riding bikes, running around the neighborhood with friends, swimming at the pool down the street all summer, roller skating, etc etc.

Try fasting srs.

But I don't know that feel brah. I think I have a genetic advantage that prevents me from getting fat. I can sit on my ass for weeks binge eating and barely gain any weight. I know people who will eat a slice of cake and put on 10lbs. It's crazy. I've made a thread about it before but I 100% believe in the "fat gene." Some people are just unlucky.

Same, but only could watch tv or play nintendo after having exhausted ourselves. I remember having to wait at least 30mins after eating to go out and play. Summers I stayed outside. Kids now, they never go outside.

Same, I was either on a bike, or a skateboard.

How many days were you consistent with that OP?

Even on some of my cleanest days, the following morning my weight might have barely changed or maybe even went up a tiny bit. A week of eating clean and doing everything else right should see a few pounds of progress IMO.

It's pretty simple overall. You just need to stick with it.
*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*
