Lost 100 pounds going vegan. 10 years later lost another 15 pounds adopting running as a passion. Ten years later gained 15 pounds becoming a weight lifter. Ten more years after that I weight 185 pounds, body fat 12-15% , feel strong look great. Now I added triathlons to my routine.
It’s both nutrition and staying active. We’re such lazy animals that we have to fight our impulse to sit still and eat silly … Who knew that the key is having a healthy, active lifestyle…
I wish I could like running. It hurts and is awkward and just generally sucks. Thank fuck I found bicycles.
So, yeah, for those who can’t make themselves like running, check out Craigslist or a local bicycle co-op to find a reasonably priced used bike and start riding. It’s transportation, it’s exercise, it can be meditation, and it’s easy on the joints.
LOL… getting downvoted by protein brahs. Colostomy bags are so hot right now.

Speaking the truth. We made it super easy to get calories and we like comfort. You need to make it an actual lifestyle change and not just a diet to lose weight. I didn’t take my nutrition or weight lifting seriously until my 40s. I got in better shape then when I was active duty and I really didn’t care what I ate.
Also my sleep greatly improved when my diet and exercise were pushing me. I had zero problems getting to sleep and staying asleep.
I need to get serious about it again.
