shit's old now, im down to 180, i did it super unhealthy i didnt really diet as much as fast, can of soup, 1 coke type beverage a day and the rest water, weekends, grab a cheat day, after a while, not eating just became super easy. i now have to remind myself to eat. compared to being a compulsive eater. its actually funny cause they are both bad. but. I rather be skinny that some fat fuck, also i was prolly way more than 300, i just got disgusted with myself and stopped weighing myself. But yea, just got down to the 180 mark, and now going to put on the muscle back i lost while still cutting. trying to adjust my metabolism is fucking nuts tho. cant seem to get anything to work right.

I just started doing my wife's 21 Day Fix workout and eating plan from Beachbody - I'm 4 days in a 6 lbs lighter, I've got plenty of weight to loose. We already eat healthy, I just don't portion control or exercise, so I maintain my weight, maybe gaining 1-3 lbs / year with increased inactivity.

Has anyone done any Beachbody workouts before, saw someone mention p90x (we have a subscription to their on demand program). I am looking to loose weight and reduce calorie intake, so far the menus and eating plan have been great, good choices, easy to follow. Going from 0 activity to 30 mins/day seems to be a nice kick start.

At this point, I'll stop checking the scale and limit that to maybe once per month. I don't really care about the number as long as it's going down. I also don't care much about building muscle per say, if its a byproduct great, if not, don't care.

My wife has had tremendous success in the past year or so of doing these programs, my turn to catch up.

Any other tips/suggestions?

Yeah, I hear that some people get stuck with the ileostomy bag for life. One person I spoke with said it's because she had another form of autoimmune disorder that precluded the J-Pouch surgery.

From speaking with my surgeon, I've learned that they basically have one attempt to restructure the small intestine into a new poop chute. So if you don't have a good doctor do it you're fucked.

Other than that, there are other health complications which people can have that I fortunately do not.

I also relocated to LA to get operated on by the dankest mofo in the butt surgery biz. He does it lapriscopically which just came out 2 years ago as a practice, so I don't even have big scars.

Just them internal ones, yo.

Real talk.

Within my life time it's likely I'll be able to get a new colon grown from stem cells.

We were still born about 100 years too early though.

I can't remember the exact condition you had/have, what was it again? Sorry to ask you to repeat stuff you already mentioned I just want to better understand it.

Sit ups or crunches?

Sit ups are better if you feel like you can do them and have some thick padding for your lower back.

Crunches are actually a worthwhile core exercise more so than a sit up replacement.

What I was going to say before last post but most have spaced -- building legs and Gluteus is a good way to make sure your lower back doesn't get thrown out by your 40th Birthday. Unfortunately A lot of guys skip it because women generally just look at your upper body when deciding how attractive you are.

Gay or not -- focusing on building the butt and legs up is a smart move if you want to age well.
