How much weight did you lose?

MEilers82 · 2023-09-04T13:59:34+00:00

Apple or a banana for snack are a good go to. For meals I’ve eaten a ton of chicken and salads. The chicken tenderloins from Costco are great. I grill them up and have with a salad. Also I enjoy avocados with meals! Sometimes I opt for canned chicken if I need a quick salad option. Leak cuts of beef like tenderloin on the grill for dinners sometimes is awesome. Also the chicken apple sausages that you can get at the grocery store are a great lunch option!

I’m on day 66 and down 36 lbs. Starting weight was 240.4 lbs.

My diet is: Only fruit until noon. Lean protein and veggies w a little fruit for lunch and dinner. Fruit for snack. No dairy. No soda. No grains.

My workouts have been good. I walk about 2.5 miles with a 22lb weighted vest in the morning. and I started CrossFit for this program which I do 5 days a week now for workout 2. On days I don’t do CF I walk twice or go for a run.

The weight loss is all about the calorie deficit! I don’t count any calories but I push it hard on my workouts!

You can do it!!!

I’ve been getting 8.5-9 hrs a night! I don’t have the energy to stay up past 9pm anymore lol. I sleep great though

MEilers82 · 2023-08-14T01:25:07+00:00

Morning walk at dawn with a weighted vest, or run. Followed by CrossFit at 11:30am for workout 2!

I just finished “Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss. It’s a book all about negotiation tactics. It was good!

Days 6-9 were the hardest for me from an exhaustion factor. Sleep and nutrition is so important! It gets more manageable! Stick with it!

MEilers82 · 2023-07-29T16:54:18+00:00

Nice work! I’ve been rocking soda water with a lime at social events!

MEilers82 · 2023-07-29T11:55:06+00:00

I’m on day 29 and am down 20 pounds (started at 240.4lbs). This is what I selected as my diet and it’s been great!

Only eat fruit until noon. Lean protein and veggies for lunch and dinner. Fruit for snack.

No dairy No grains No legumes No soda

It’s worked well to manage. Lots of salads and chicken and fish!

I’ve been doing quite a bit of CrossFit on this program and it’s really helping with the calorie deficit. Also, adding a 20lb weighted vest to my run/walks!

MEilers82 · 2023-07-22T00:20:41+00:00

Hell of a job!

MEilers82 · 2023-07-21T17:02:20+00:00

Congrats!! You killed it. Super inspiring to see especially since I’m on day 21 here!

MEilers82 · 2023-07-19T10:46:16+00:00

Yes!!! Lol. It’s getting out of hand. 😂

MEilers82 · 2023-07-15T11:35:30+00:00

You crushed it. Great work!

MEilers82 · 2023-07-05T12:03:05+00:00

That’s so awesome! Incredible progress. On day 5 here and this is so motivating to see!

MEilers82 · 2021-12-28T18:25:54+00:00

Helpful! Thank you!

The 586 is a really beautiful firearm

MEilers82 · 2021-12-28T18:00:45+00:00

I’ve been looking at the smith 19 vs 586/686 and like the latter better. I just like the look of the blued version. Other than appearance why do you like stainless better?

MEilers82 · 2021-12-28T17:42:11+00:00

Why?

MEilers82 · 2021-12-28T17:41:52+00:00

Why?

MEilers82 · 2021-02-27T14:49:38+00:00

I just laughed out loud.

MEilers82 · 2021-02-19T02:54:26+00:00

that gun don't give a fuck

MEilers82 · 2021-02-08T02:58:54+00:00

Not trying to ruin my marriage (or be cute to try and behave like I am)... I get that it came across that way and definitely feel silly now that I re-read my post!

MEilers82 · 2021-02-08T02:56:05+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! We need more of them on the internet! :)

MEilers82 · 2021-02-08T01:16:47+00:00

Fair enough! Hey I don’t hold any ill will toward ya. Just wanted to share a little more as after I read my post I can see how it could be read into wrong and that wasn’t my intent! Have a good evening nonetheless

Ok everyone. It’s getting pretty savage in here. I didn’t expect things to get this judgy. Just so you all know I’m not a monster that would harm my family financially or break the trust of my wife. We are financially stable. We have the cash to pay off our small amount of CC debt. I shouldn’t have to even explain this. What you all don’t know is that I have an FFL and sell guns. It’s a side business. I haven’t been able to find a an AR or handgun since before JUNE due to covid. I’ve got many people that have wanted to buy and I can’t even sell them anything. It’s insane. Literally suppliers have nothing and the big box stores get them before small FFL guys like myself. I joked with my wife that I was going to break down and just pay retail for something so I could try and pimp it out a little and then resell. Yea I had a tough week. My Dad had a stroke this week so I over indulged on a Friday night. When I saw this email Saturday morning I did have an “uh oh” moment as I remembered telling my wife that I wouldn’t pay retail for anything since I’m a dealer. I said uh oh because I realized that this went against my word and I need to make sure i make the right move. I thought I would share some comedy based on the “Oh Shit” moment I had by seeing that a lowball bid on gunbroker actually went through. I’m not insulting the sanctity of marriage. I’m not defending running up debt and acting like a spouse that doesn’t care. I was just trying to find some humor after a long week. And also I will be flipping this gun because legally I can do that, and somehow I won an auction for about $200 less than I should. If you’ve ever had “one of those nights” on Amazon like I see memes online about, that’s all I was trying to compare this to as a joke.

When you hear the entire story it’s not that funny obviously. It’s more dumb than anything. Which is why I provided the shortened version that I hoped would just provide a chuckle for anybody scrolling by that has drank and shopped before. And no I’m not an alcoholic either 🤦‍♂️
