Lifestyle tips

My career prevented me from going full-tilt, but I always took advantage of my off season to gain or play. I have a great lady friend who creates challenges, sometimes mutually, sometimes just for me...like how much can we/I gain in 3 days, a week, 2 weeks, etc.
I have gained as much as 52 pounds on her challenges, but I had to lose most, if not all.
Fun and frustrating

Having yoyo’ed myself, my gains crept up on me recently out of nowhere and Im a few pounds shy of hitting 200

The more you yo-yo the fatter you get. I learned that the hard way, trying to make my body smaller after having regained weight after a huge weight loss. My fat cells just like to swell up.

So true, if i loose and regain im way softer/flabbier at the same or even lower weights

Weight gain and weight loss are very nice.

I'm sure I'm not alone in admiring the loose skin of some one that has lost a significant amount of weight.

My wife and I have been going to the gym and lifting weights and she has recommped a bit. It's very nice. Plus, she feels better physically and is happier when we're hitting the weights which is a huge turn on.

I had yo-yo diet. You lose the weight, you going to gain a lot back. I was down to 200-lbs.; thinking that I was going to be in the 100’s range, but I manage to gain 50 pounds.

I didn’t start getting my belly until my 30s. It sure came and stuck around even as the number in the scale was a yo-yo at times :-) Hoping I can get back above 200 soon!
