The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

[Dave N]

Bloodwork today. Got my cholesterol down from 258 to 100. Cool. HDL dropped to 39 with a low limit of 40. Guess I need to move more and eat more apples. (and less other things)

 

[Gellar]

I ate a lot of cookies last week. I got up to 217.6 by Monday, but today I was back down to 215.6.

258 to 100?? You sure about that 100? I think the last time I was 100 was when I was born.

Cookies are my Nemesis. For some, it’s alcohol…others it might be meth.

A bag of Nutter Butters and a half-gallon of whole milk…wake me up the next morning!

There may have been beer and pizza involved too.

Yepper! 3 months of meds.

Yepper! 3 months of meds.

Find a better doctor, I have doubts ?

 

[Robert N]

Yepper! 3 months of meds.

A 150 net average (HDL/LDL) is considered “normal”. A 100 net is very surprising. It might be worth asking the Doc for some greater clarification on the numbers.

 

[Dave N]

That's what the blood work came back as. I can't screen shot the results due to privacy rules.

 

[Dave N]

I'm also not eating the same things that I used to. My weight loss drug outfit has an app that scores my food choices and exercise. Not eating as much, also.

 

[cgasner1]

Gonna throw some fasted cardio at this for the next month and see if it gets me to where I wanna be then the dieting is done for awhile.

 

[Gellar]

214.4 this morning. My legs are feeling it today. I did 2 rounds of the mountain tough 22s workout with a 40 lb pack yesterday.

 

[caddiscrazy]

Hanging pretty tight at the 200 mark. Going to add another day of running a week now that the weather has finally broke

 

[cgasner1]

My scale had me at almost 60# of fat when I started. I’m sitting at 27.4 right now I’d like to get that number to a flat 20

 

[Pucky Freak]

Weight loss challenge winner is announced tomorrow. After reflecting on the matter I asked to be removed from the running. I did my relatively easy semi-starvation diet and blew everyone else out of the water by losing 20% body mass. Everyone else either gave up along the way, or busted their ass at the gym and improved their eating - they earned it.

Day 3 of normal diet now for me, and 3 workouts in. Still zero sugar or processed grain. Goal is workout daily until at least the fall elk hunt.

 

[Dave N]

You folks that use a fancy-assed scale to measure body fat and stuff, which one do you use? I sent for one but it didn't connect with my phone so I sent it back. Once I see my money back I'll look for another.

[cgasner1]

Had a cheap one didn’t work very well. I sold it to a guy an was helping him set it up it was still way off. Some nutrition stores have them. Im surprised your doctor doesn’t have one

 

[thomas89]

Ouch!

No kidding!

That's a lot of do(nuts)!
