Yeah I changed doctors recently and went for standard bloodwork. Sugar is high, Vitamin D is low, everything else is okish. I'm an out of shape 36 year old. I get it. I don't want to fix it but I'm not also not young enough to neglect it anymore.

Same here. I'm diabetic, so my doctor put me on Metformin and I've had to cut back on all the good stuff. Pasta, breads, ice cream and on and on. Vitamin D deficiency was resolved with 5000IU of Vitamin D3. Do yourself a favor. Do fix the sugar levels. Once you become diabetic, there's no cure for it. I wish now I had listened to my doctor 10 years ago.

I'm going to try, I have an appointment next month to "talk about my bloodwork" but I'm hoping it was caught in time. I don't want to do meds.
 
Eating some Barilla protein spaghetti tonight and the discussion here had me reading the nutritional breakdown.

And I noticed that 1 portion contributes 14% of your daily carbs. The box contains 7 servings. I def ate at least half the box. So 3.5 portions. About 50% of recommended daily carbs.

But in order to be healthy I'm going to wash it down with a big ole salad.
Also note when the carbs are fiber they are low glycemic carbs, hence why it does not spike my Fathers sugar.

Another example is this which I had with rotissirie (sp) chicken yesterday. High in carb but 25% is fiber and little sugar.

RIP Betty White less than three weeks short of 100...2021 can kindly f*** off now
I'm more bummed about this than any celebrity death in a very long time.

I thought up until I just found out 10 minutes ago that she had passed, that she would for sure make it to 100. It just doesn't feel right that she didn't make it to 100. She was still making public appearances and TV roles pretty frequently as of just 2-3 years ago and very lively too.

She wasn't like one of those people in solitude that you know are still alive, but kind of forget sometimes too because they don't make many public appearances or come on TV or anything anymore.
 
Hate to be a dick, but I'm 6'0" and if I weighed 210 I'd be concerned.

175ish is a pretty healthy weight for me. When I hit around 185 my friends started talking shit.

For context, most mma fighters our height walk around at about 185-200. Daniel Cormier is an outlier but he's also certainly obese. The 200 is mostly because muscle weighs more than fat.

We all have different bone structure, but I'd trust the trained medical professional.

sure i could probably a few pounds but i do not look "borderline obese' whatsoever

Talk about a full life though.

It seems she didn't waste a moment.

Oddly enough I randomly read this article in the morning before they updated it: Ryan Reynolds responds to Betty White saying he can't get over her - CNN

BMI is comedy……had a doctor years ago tell me "you are borderline obese"

ya, at 6'0" 210 …ok there doc

I had a nice reply to you last night all typed up and as soon as I hit send, it went away and I couldn't go back and retrieve it because it was gone. Typical when making a post of more than a few sentences on the mobile site.

I'm 5'11'' and 217 right now. Or as of the other day, I've been only weighing myself every two weeks, but I usually cave after a week. That's with no clothes on, so I'm probably 220-222 at the doctors office because I ain't stripping in there haha.

I'm down 25-ish pounds, maybe a little more since October 13th, when I weighed I think it was 243? I weighed myself on October 12th and was 249.6 with sneakers on and fully dressed. I even took a picture of it. But that was after I had already a bunch that day.

I let myself go and gained a lot of weight during this calendar year, which I put an end to on October 13th. I'm almost ready to start fitting into a size large T-shirt (I can wear most size mediums if I'm 180-ish and even up to 185 without it looking bad unless it's a smaller made medium) again and extra large is getting baggy. I can also start squeezing into a size 34 somewhere between 200-207 I think cause I was weighing that at the beginning of the year and still squeezing into them. If I'm about 180, I need a belt for the 34. They start falling down when I walk.

I look okay at 200-210. Not terrible. I have terrible moobs, that's where I seem to have fat. Even when I'm thin I have them, but they're just smaller. I have fat on my belly (even when I'm thin) but it's not like the standard belly that most men get around 45, even most of the skinny ones. It's just fat on my belly, not so much a gut.

My face is already kind of thin looking right now though, which when I was a little younger, I swear my face wasn't even thinner than this at 180. You lose facial fat as you get older, which is why people age. I’m shooting for 185-190 by about April. And then hopefully 180 by June.

243 in october yikes….glad youre shedding…

seem like you fluctuate weight unlike me where always around the 210 give or take a couple each side…..i still got my muscular legs from eons of soccer….i think the lowest i was (post mid late 20's in age ) was 195…..most ever was 222 like 10 years ago

I held 170-180 for about 6 years between 2014 and 2020. Then I started to let myself go a bit late in 2020 and probably was up to 210 by the new year. Which was okay, but I just really got out of control I wanna say between March and October.
 
Everyone is too old to drink everyday.

Not so many are too old to fresh water fish everyday.
I'm fishing the saltwater every day for the last 13 days the same routine each day...up at 5:30am on the water at sunrise which has been around 7:00am back at dusk 5:30-ish drinks and dinner till about 7:00/8 and do it all over again.

I don't drink while out on the water though.

ya, thats a recipe for disaster starting early….when i go for my good weather canoe paddles along the canals near here i make sure to only bring one tallboy so as not to be tempted to 'have a few'….also have to drive there and back so there's that issue which i dont care to grab a DUI if i get pulled over

Comparing the average Joe to MMA fighters is silly though. 210 at 6 ft probably looks very "normal". I'd imagine you at 175 would look very thin at the 6ft mark as well. To each their own though I suppose.
 
i was in a zen state and of course…. douche bag fireworks ……again…..

Somebody is lighting off a bunch here too, and it's been going long after midnight. Scared one of my dogs and startled my sleeping infant son. I'm glad he didn't wake up fully and start crying.

I'm just saying maybe his PC has a point.

My PC is an absolute asshole, it's part of the reason I love her and have stuck with her for the better part of a decade.

Here's another point of reference, Richard Sherman is 6'3 195 and a ball of muscle.

Again, not trying to shit on homeboy but he may want to take the advice to heart.

210 is a very large man. They're not called heavyweights for nothing.

It’s still going on here and I was over it by 11:00 or so. It’s a shame cause they’re actually pretty cool, but this is overkill.

My dog has been terrified all night. She won’t eat or wouldn’t let me take her out cause they’ve been going off since sunset.

But they are now down to only every 10 minutes for the big one near me, but I keep hearing fire trucks and hoping they’re coming because the f***er caught himself on fire.

Hopefully they’re drunk enough to pass out soon. I can’t go to bed until I get a good 30 minutes without one cause he can’t seem to go much more than 10 minutes without blowing one off.
