Roughly 6' 220lb. Cholesterol recently was 240ish and after 6 months of diet changes, still 240ish. Doc wanted to put me on a statin due to the rich family history of high cholesterol, but we started with Red Yeast Rice Extract to see if there's an effect by late March. RYRE has a naturally occuring low dose of statin in it. Diet changes have been trying to reduce sugar and alcohol a lot, and just generally make healthier choices -- instead of mixing skippy and smuckers into my morning yogurt, now i do a scoop of protein powder, for instance. And eating a lot more fermented foods, like kimchi and sourdough that I've been baking. Also higher fiber and less "bad fat proteins" in favor of leaner options like salmon, chicken breast instead of thighs, tofu here and there.

As an adult I've been as low as 165 and as high as 235, but neither were healthy. Aiming to be around 200 and a lot leaner than i am now, aside from the cholesterol.

I've been aiming for 7500 steps/day + weekly goal for 150 "heart points" on Google Fit app. Running is difficult for me because i dont enjoy it, and because high impact exercises hurt my knee. But i love walking at a brisk pace so i tend to do that. Ive incorporated more calisthenic and body weight exercises into my morning. Reconnected with a buddy with whom I've played pickup soccer over the years and went out to play indoor on Thursday -- i woke up Friday feeling like a bag of bones and my knee was barking at me, but it felt good to run around and I'm gonna try to get out there at least twice a month

Like the good senator above, i too have a walking pad. Got mine loke 3 years ago and use it a lot during the winter in front of the tv, it's foldable and easily stored and is great for apartment living. Have been using that to get my steps in at night if i didnt meet my daily goal

Under 6 seconds I'm all for the foul but can understand that as well.

NEVER. A. DOUBT.

Now I can breathe.

Ugly, having to win 5 versus 8 but it was a win.

BEAT THE REFS FAM

Was waiting them to whistle that 3pt shot

Rechsteiner is one of our best free throw shooters but not in the game

What the hell, another phantom travel called. They refs should lose their jobs.

You have to get in front of the guy and make him pick up the dribble

I've always liked chickpeas and lentils, but got married in March and was absolutely not ready for how frequently Mrs Chumps was gonna cook or request them, lol

Poteat has been clutch late in games of late....

I've ended up enjoying the spin stuff more than I thought I would, but historically I'm a free weight guy, so I appreciate the ability to mix it up. I do 2-3 nights 20-30 minute spin with a 10 min core or stretch depending on how I'm feeling and then a couple nights that are just dumbbells or subbed kettlebells. Sometimes I just watch CFB and do speed work during commercials. After the first kid I was doing home kettlebell workouts as my primary form of exercise, but it takes too much inertia now to design my workouts. The instructors are a bit cheesy, but like you said it's a great way to get moving during nap time or right after bedtime.
