Question for the FBD regulars

No option for eat right and exercise?

I generally try to cut back on beer and eat right during the week and on weekends eat like crap and drink to much beer. It's a never ending cycle but for the most part it helps me keep my waist line in check.

Hope it stays that way for you, and it might.

I was the same until 40 then bam it all changed.

Now that I am close to my goal weight, I am hoping to be able to cut loose on weekends a bit and maintain where I am.

Ya keep an eye on that. From what I understand it is more about genetics than diet, with diet helping of course.

I would've guessed 16

I do p90x everyday and eat well as much as possible. I am still a few lbs over what i am want to be but its lightyears better than i was 2 years ago in college.

I basically quit working out for a few years after my last high school ball game.

I am trying to cut back on beer during the week but sometimes there is a beer in your heart.

I'm guessing you are under 35 or at least under 40.

barely

I'm fairly short (5'7") and I stayed in the 140's for a long time, and could eat what I wanted and drink whatever I wanted, like is typical in your 20's

By the time I hit 30 things started to change and on 1/1/2011 I weighed in at 212. I cut back drinking to only 3 days a week and only a couple or three beers then, and for the first time ever I started working out regularly and dropped 50 pounds that year. I was able to maintain and stay in the 158-162 range, but grew very tired of working out or running all the time, so when my wife got pregnant I took advantage and quit working out and started eating like crap again. This also was the time that I started homebrewing, so my consumption went up some as well. It took almost 3 years, but I made my way back up to 199 on June 1 of this year. I stopped drinking during the week, cut calories, and started working out again and have dropped 25 pounds. I intend to keep this up until I get back under 160, then I want to work on maintaining, which is something I never have been good at.

I also started making beers that are under 100 calories so when I have 1 or 2 I don't regret it.

Combo of 1, 5, and 3.

I'm 25, so my weight is catching up to me. I have floated at 108 since I began drinking beer. I am not gaining weight anymore, and I doubt I will, BUT I'd like to weigh less for sure. I'm 4'8".. so 108lbs isn't exactly skin and bones even though it is far from "fat".

I was ~98 for the longest time before beer came into the picture. I know for sure that working out would help, but I am just not much of an exerciser, regardless of how much I try. Just being honest with myself here.

I eat what I want, but what I want isn't all that bad. I don't want/crave fast food and pizza regularly. Still, I don't eat "healthy" either. I don't do brown rice and boring chicken or anything. But food isn't affecting me because I eat so little of it. I never finish a plate of food, and often don't even come close. I also often skip dinner and just drink a few beers or maybe have a snack.

So "well, hello little lady!" isn't necessarily a pickup line I am guessing?
