Gained some back but have been losing it again now that the weather is nice and I've been more active. Right around 195 now.

Ric, even at the lowest I've been in well over a decade (202.5 this morning) I still can't wear a 34. Damn thighs are too big! LOL
I'm about to attempt a 5 mile run again. First attempt resulted in a 9.24 pace for a time of 47 minutes flat. Hoping to better than today.

Good luck Ric! Always heard nicotine is a big game changer when it comes to weight, keep pushing man.

I'm still 240, better than the 260 I was 5 years ago lol. With the warm weather coming I expect to be around 235 since I'll be sweating at work.

10 years ago when I got out of the Army and started at GE I weighed in at 210 and felt like shit! I was on a no running restriction due to what the Army thought was a knee problem, when in reality it was a pinched nerve in my back that was making my knee hurt. Long story short I got that fixed and dropped 60lbs in 3-3.5 months and I looked and felt great! Well life and laziness happened and I'm creeping back up there. Right now I'm at 193 and my back and legs are starting to bother me again. I've been eating a lot better and been back in the gym for about 3 weeks now, but the scale and my jeans are telling me I'm gaining weight. I guess it's time to go back to my diet I was on when I dropped 60lbs. Bowl of special K in the morning if I was hungry, can of tuna for lunch and dinner after workout. I know some may say that's not healthy but it's what worked for me and I felt good the whole time.
My goal is to drop down to 160 and to beat my best time in the 2 mile run (army pt test) of 15:11.
Congrats to those who have dropped weight and continue to do so and good luck to those that are trying!

I'm about 255 right now and need to lose about 10 lbs for my competition. I'm on track to deadlift 600, squat 525-550 and bench 380.
That is close to the numbers when I was competitive doing it. That's awesome. How old are you? I couldn't imagine doing that now. Took a lot to get there and maintain that kind of weight without alternative methods. Lol
Takes time, dedication and great nutrition to get above 315/405/405 for most people.
Thanks guys. I've been training specifically for powerlifting for about a year so I'm hoping if I can stay healthy by the time I hit my prime in my late 30s I can total 1800. I would really like to eventually get sponsored and possibly train people.
It took me a life time to bench 300. I'm 6'1" and was 215 at the time. I have a 76" wingspan and am far from being "barrel chested". Can't imagine flirting with 400!
300 is a solid bench. Most guys I see in the gym struggle with 225. I have very short arms and thick chest so that always helps. My dad was very strong in his prime, 400 lb bench at 210 bodyweight. He got me started lifting with good form at a young age so that helped a lot.
I can't even imagine benching 300. Maybe one day, but for now I'm in the 230-240 ballpark. Damn these ape arms!!! Lol
It cost me a year of working out. I'd always wanted to bench 300 and when I started going heavy with my buddy Jamie who is a monster, I pushed myself to the point of physical break down. My joints, especially my elbows, were toast. Bulking up wasn't a good idea for me.
385/585/540 I believe. Been MANY years ago. I was 21 and I am 39 this month. I also wrapped to protect joints. That wasn't "legal" at some competitions.
I am just getting back into lifting/training. Using Waterburys workout.
I did DB split squats for the first time in years yesterday and any stairs I about fell down today. Lol
I maxed bench for fun and did 285 but my old arms were shaking like I was having seizures. I am a little sore on my upper body but my quads weren't ready for what I threw at them.
It's hell getting old when you let yourself get fat.
I was 205-210 then. Now I am 250 down from 281 seven weeks ago.
