What's the official weigh-in today?

Yes, Henry. You should post your weight each day along with your training.

yes, Henry; post your weight at least 3 times per week. It will help you keep accountable and not let another 3 months go by with minimal weight loss.

Henry, if some of the people here would have followed your progress,

1. They would know what you eat and drink.

2. They would know you have a coach.

They would realize you know what your doing.

For the rest: Perhaps you are educated beyond your intelligence.

Henry

I understand that it is O.K. for weight to go up sometimes from one day to the next, just as it is O.K. to be slower or more tired sometimes than you were the day before. Progress does not mean always going in one direction. But the overall trend should be in the right direction.

kissing Henry's ass isn't going to do him any good or get him to 150 lbs by spring.

you are correct, "150 lbs or bust"....for Henry still to be around 180 lbs for the last 2 months, despite all of the running he is doing; means he is not only NOT dieting at all, but overeating like crazy, just to 'stay even'.

It is up to him at this point, to see if he is really serious or not.

Or maybe after all of the amazing training he has done over the years, his body takes a much higher level of stimulus to respond and lose the last 30 pounds.

I'm doing everything to stimulate this body. I did also 550 sit ups while I was sitting in sauna. Can you imagine what I'm going through to accomplish this journey.

It is mentally torturing, physically demanding and I do get confuse once in a while, whether the head takes the lead or the legs.I'm going through too many running rituals in the world to get this baby together.

Henry

Henry,

What is the purpose of doing 550 sit-ups in the sauna? It seems to me that you should focus on running, and resting when you're not running.

You are right,I thought of beer belly and to strengthen the liver and perhaps those internal organs.What do you think?

Henry

I think that the sit-ups will strengthen the muscles of the abdominal walls, but won't do anything for your liver or other internal organs, and won't do much to get the fat off of your beer belly. Also, I think that you should only spend time in the sauna to relax your body and to warm yourself up after being out in the cold, not to try to sweat off weight. For losing weight, just run more, eat and drink less, and get plenty of water.

You nail it right on top of it.Thank you for that advice,I didn't know. I notice I only sweat water, warm up and relaxing.

start keeping an eating diary, Henry. get a pad of paper that will fit into your shirt pocket and quickly write down everything you eat and drink.

I have a feeling you will be shocked. I was, when I did it. I was doing alot of snacking that I was fooling myself into not thinking about; but it was obvious I was overeating since I was running 6 miles a day and not losing any weight.

When I cut down the snacks and limited my meals to chicken , fish and vegetables, ONLY...I lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks. I was astonished, myself. I was so happy after that 1st 10 days when I lost a quick 10 lbs., that I was really motivated NOT to cheat and mess it up.

I like the idea. I have reach a point where if I don't baby sit what I put in my mouth, I will end up balooning my stomatch for higher price which is crazy so to see.

Thank you mr.common sense. Surely it is common sense.I learn that think from the stomatch, now I have to think from the head.

Henry,

I have been following your posts since the start of your journey and really want to see you succeed in your goal of the Master's Mile. It looks like you are starting to post your weight each day which is a good thing. May I suggest that you also post a food diary of everything you eat each day. I think this would help you stay accountable. It would also help some of the folks on this board who know something about nutrition to help you with suggestions. If you decide to do this, remember to also include any fluids you consume like soft drinks, etc.

Hi Henry.

I wish you the best for your comeback, and have read these posts with great interest! With regards to your weight issues, have you considered switching to a largely vegetarian or vegan diet? There seems to be a good bit of evidence that suggests a diet with little or no cholesterol/saturated fat actually speeds up your metabolism. Plus, the amount of fiber in these kinds of diets is usually higher than a meat-based one, which is also helpful in weightloss. Everybody I know who has switched to a vegan diet from a meat-based one has lost some pretty significant weight (a healthy amount, not an unhealthy amount, mind you). Just a thought. Good luck!

My problem is losing weight and energy restorarion for another workout doesn't come out easy as the day when I was 29 years old.

Staying empty stomatch doesn't help either which I thought I can convert my fat to food and energy,I feint to my knees.That is not smart either.I'm in a war with my weights to lose 30lbs.Is there any short cut to this?

Henry
