When you lose the weight of a human and you are not carrying that human around anymore? You should toot you horn and be proud of kicking that human off your back! Toot Toot…
Yes, I hate my image to be taken and thus, the closed eyes!
So I really do weigh 85 kilos which = 187 pounds! This is at the scales I use at home and it is what I use as my official weigh-in numbers. I do not worry about weighing on a normal bases. I worry about the type, quality and amount of food I stuff into my mouth and let the scale ‘tell the tale’ when I am able to weigh myself…
For USAians this is; At peak of around 355 lbs – 187 lbs = 168 lbs lost. A whole big human of weight…
So easy and fast to get fat and so long and hard to get thin. I still have excess around my chest and that I would like to get rid of…
At this stage:
I am having issues with figuring out what I should plateau at?
| Male | Female | |
|---|---|---|
| 6′ 1″ | 166 – 202 lbs. | 149 – 182 lbs. |
| 6′ 2″ | 171 – 209 lbs. | 153 – 187 lbs. |
| 6′ 3″ | 176 – 216 lbs. | 158 – 193 lbs. |
| 6′ 4″ | 182 – 222 lbs. | 162 – 198 lbs. |
Okay since at a young age I was an actual 6’3″ or more, I am now at an old age, probably realistically 6’1″ tall. It is what happens as we age and it is reality. So I will look at my weight needs to match the 6’1″ stats…
I guess I have reached the point that I start looking at keeping status quo?
Now to be honest with you. This is the part that seems to be stressing me the most. Staying at an even weight and defiantly do not get fat as a pig again!
In 2016 I wrote and article that I realize was my beginning of six plus years of dropping weight. The realization that death would be soon if I did not get things under control. It was just a simple inner change in me and I started dropping weight and have dropped weight steadily since then…
I have adjusted numbers over the years to face reality and actual height, weight and age factors. It is all a mental thing when it comes to getting stupid fat. It is what you put in your mouth and the more you shovel in? The fatter you will get…
So today:
I am factually no more than 6’1″ tall due to old age…
I do not have the muscle mass that I carried at twenty…
I have serious heart issues, diabetes and other irritating issues that make life suck…
Thus I ask myself? – What should my plateau weight be? That weight that I stop trying to drop farther? That weight that I function best at? What is that weight? Will my body know on its own that weight when I get there?
I have intentionally set a lifestyle to drop weight slowly and not as fast as possible. I know that being smart about weight loss is the key to staying thinner for life. Yo Yo dieting does not do anything but kill you!
I still feel that 80 kilos will be a good weight and I do remember that Grandpa Stroud was around 75 kilos equivalent in weight, after he lost his baby fat and before he started the end of life processes. I seem to be following that path. Both my grandpa’s were over 6′ tall and heavy younger then thinned when old. Will never know about my dad and his brothers? They all died (4 of them) at 50 to 52 years old…
I guess I watch and wait to see how my body looks at things?
Being thin has saved my life and that is a fact. It is something all humans should face…
You are what you stuff your face with…
Toot Toot…
