If I dieted I'd probably get skinnier legs without proper exercise. Getting old changes things if you do nothing. My father was about 6-4, 230 with a belly and no butt. I'd headed down that path though I am much shorter. My brother is about 6-3 350. I'm the chubby runt of the litter lol.(04-12-2021, 06:16 AM)NilesMike Wrote:(04-12-2021, 06:00 AM)ken-do-nim Wrote: I don't know about the rest of you, but I maintained my normal weight through June of last year, then I started getting sweets and stopped exercising and ballooned up 15 pounds. In January I started an aggressive New Year's resolution for exercise, and I did not budge a pound off my weight. I'd work out, get hungry, and eat. A couple weeks ago I stopped working out as much. Now I'm finally starting to see some weight loss. Go figure.
I am 61 years old, have been weight training for 48 years. The more I train with weights, my bodyweight stays up. The only way I can lose on the scale is running and bodyweight calisthenics. Some light weight training can also be included. It is weird but I finally figured out what works for me.
Right, makes sense. Of course weight loss isn't the exact correct metric for me, I should be measuring waist circumference. But it's good enough.
