man I am so not a morning person but every huge success story that I see out there always involves people that wake up early for it. There must be something to the early morning routines. How much have you lost since you started doing that?

Honestly, I don't think I have lost anything, if anything I think I have gained. I think part of it is muscle though because I am definitely more toned that I was. My blood numbers are all better than they used to be too. Like my good cholesterol is up and my bad cholesterol is down. My blood pressure is better, and like I said my heart seems to be good. I'm kind of resigned to the fact that I am just old and my metabolism sucks. I'm sure if I went on a really strict diet I might be able to shed a few pounds, but I'm not there yet. If things don't turn around and I get in that 275 to 300 range I will likely put my nose to the grindstone a bit more. I've been right around 250 for most of my adult life though, so I can't be doing everything wrong. I'd like to tell you getting up early gets easier with time, but it really doesn't!
well that's a shame but I do know that muscle weighs more than fat and this is why people that don't exercise but just do diet only will tend to lose more than people who do exercise... but this is just vanity, not health. Especially when people just do a fatty carnivore diet they are probably shortening their lifespan by doing that. I would rather have some meat on my bones and actually be healthy.
I'm with you there. I had read that as you get older the best chance you have to burn more fat is to build more muscle because your metabolism isn't going to help you. Plus a lot of the metabolism stuff is genetic anyway, so that's why I started adding weights into my routine.
Perhaps I'll get back into weights. There is a gym in my building so why not?
Sounds like a great idea!
