I was on TUSCL for a couple of years, left for almost a year, came back and was vexed by a guy whose handle was greenvegas. The dude was insulting and uncool. Not the kind of insulting you give you best buddy, but the kind you get from a 7th-grader on the playground. I blocked him. Wrote a few more Discussions and Reviews. Had a stroke. And a heart attack. And generally shitty health. Got my act together, lost 127 pounds, got a hip replacement, and came back. I just re-read a discussion I started in 2009. I had to confess to my TUSCL brethren that a promised review didn't materialize simply because I got hungover and stayed home. My comment was "Plain and simple, I wussed out. I feel so greenvegas about the whole thing." Greenvegas? If your sorry ass is still out there, I would use this phrase again. You rat-faced bastard.
I am only on one med, and I only take half a pill. For blood pressure. Heart is A-OK, after 5 bypasses. The stroke sucked, and my face still has some residual paralysis, but it sorta gives me a Stallone vibe. My left hand is back enough to type and play guitar for my grandchildren. The hip replacement was a godsend. Oh, yeah, and even after losing 127 pounds, I am still 5'10", 280. Still a 3X. Thanks for the congrats.
^ I'll bet you feel better, I had my own struggles with weight when I was younger, I was about 280 at my heaviest, I'm 5'8" and about 205 now, and have maintained that weight since my middle 50s. I'm 68 now I swim every day, and walk every day, I used to work out with weight machines, but I have developed cervical disc problems so I was forced to cut that back, still my health is good quit smoking cigars several years back, and I feel well. I know how hard it is to maintain your health, but it's so worth it.
Best of luck to you and congrats on your accomplishments, keep it up.
I'm 6'9", 275 pounds of fast twitch muscle, bench 500, squat 650, am ranked in three martial arts, and have a 10.5-inch pecker. Like everyone else on the internet.
At 205 lbs., to have a 19 BMI you would have to be you would have to be 7' 3" tall.
BMI is frequently really misleading. Same BMI for a 6' 200 lbs. weight training athlete with a 15% body fat and a doughy 6' 200 lbs. couch potato with a 35% body fat.
^^ so true. I ditched my last practitioner when he showed me a chart regarding proper BMI for height and weight. I told him that most people my weight and height have much less muscle mass than me, so take your chart for what buys worth, a range for the average person. If you’re athletic those BMI charts blow. Aaron Judge was recently pinned as being overweight by the BMI chart. He clearly for his size and weight as a professional athlete is maybe 10% body fat, clearly not overweight according to those charts.
