6’1” here, 180 pounds.
A nickname foreigners have for us is `Amerifats’. A few years and a little more than fifty pounds ago, I struggled with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. And got winded climbing a slight grade.
Gluttony and sloth are deadly sins. Drink more water, fatties. Exercise—get that blood flowing. Buy a stationary bike. Lift light weights, all things in moderation. Eat smaller portions & healthy snacks. I dropped several waist sizes. Now I can walk the four legs off my dog.
A lot of people fool themselves, thinking they are `a little overweight’ when they are actually either obese: corpulent or too much flabby tissue, or morbidly obese. That was me.
Just sayin’ ... if your laptop is almost level with your line of vision, put down the computer and go to the little room. Stand sideways, look in the mirror, and be honest with yourself. It isn’t easy at first but weight loss can be done. OK, lecture over.
On low carb, I have lost 55 lbs and virtually no exercise.
Like many people, I set in front of a tube all day long and it is difficult to get any measurable exercise. I do walk at lunch.
