INSAIYAN Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 ...Unless it's fat we're talking about. I'm currently crawling out of the Sarlaac Pit of obesiety. I don't want to look like my former employer, so it looks like I'm joining The Rebellion. Lol on a more serious note... I'm about 5'10, 230lbs and want to do something about that. I just joined a gym that has a full array of free weights, cardio equipment, and yoga classes. I'm a soda, beer, and gaming addict and my desk job is sapping the life out of me. This is all a huge bummer because I used to be in great shape in college. Although it looks like you guys are already a week into it, I'll be joining the current challenge. I'm an obsessive compulsive planner, so it'll give me something to plot out during this droll, rainy day in LA. - Broba 1 Quote Level 2.

Why not? Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Welcome, Mr. Fett! A couple things you'll want to consider for that goal of yours: get rid of soda and cut back on beer. Trust me, it'll start off difficult, but it gets a lot easier.

INSAIYAN Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Welcome, Mr. Fett! A couple things you'll want to consider for that goal of yours: get rid of soda and cut back on beer. Trust me, it'll start off difficult, but it gets a lot easier. Thanks, Why Not?! Soda is definitely going to be a part of the challenge. I throw back a lot more of it than beer (I'm talking over a six pack per day and a large Slurpee on the way home from work). I also have a glass or two of white wine with my girl on a somewhat nightly basis. I need to cut back on the booze, but I think that focusing on one beverage challenge at a time will keep me sane for this first go around. My project for today is going to be to develop a taper method for the challenge. Thanks again for the input! 1 Quote Level 2.

porchcricket13 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was a soda addict, like 2 liters a day...now I've had a bottle in my house half full for a week (I had a particularly rough night at work last week and wanted an adult beverage or 2). As for alcohol, I was drinking nightly because of my anxiety, but now that I joined a gym I don't need any help sleeping! My point being, cutting out those things or at least limiting them, is totally doable!

INSAIYAN Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I used to order myself a large pizza and a 2 liter to wash it down with. I used to bring a 2 liter to work with me in lieu of coffee. I just set my goals for this challenge and weaning myself off soda is #1. I'll be interested to see how exercise affects how much I drink. I drink socially, but during the week, I'll throw back a few beers to lull me to sleep. Thanks for the input! Quote Level 2.

Deslok Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Welcome to the rebellion. I agree with Why Not cut back on the soda as much as you can and if possible replace it with lots of water.
