Isufan, how are you managing calorie intake? I am finding the more I row the more I eat and if I dont eat enough I just completely run out of steam. I went under 275 pound a week and have been averaging about 2 pounds per week and that seems to be starting to slow down. My weight loss has slowed a ...

my fitness pal is a good one been using it off and on for about 4 years now I actually stared on the WW (weight Watchers) App, because my wife was doing it and wanted me to get on board with her. It really helped to show me just how horrible my diet had been. Pretty much everything I ate was really...

I loved reading this thread and wonder how many of us are out there with this same story? I too bought a C2 about a year ago and never really used it. But suddenly with the quarantine, I had time and was also very aware of both weight gain and loss of fitness. For context, I am just a bit more than...

One of the most important things on any journey of self improvement or weightloss or whatever goal you are trying to achieve, is to enjoy the process. Yes, enjoying what you're doing is important to being consistent. However, when it comes right down to it, sometimes you just don't feel like hoppin...

I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like you're getting plenty of exercise. I'm guessing that you're taking in more calories than you think. I have two ideas to offer, neither of which is particularly easy, but they might help: 1) Get really serious about tracking your caloric input. Start a log and...

Canglem: I definitely get that. I have been on a diet/exercise roller coaster for so many years that I've lost count. I'm feeling so much better now that I've found something I enjoy, and I'm able to stay pretty consistent. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you're back at it and feeling gre...

.....I have a concept2 rower at the house, because I was trying to get into CrossFit for a while, and my wife was ok with it as a 25th Anniversary present. Your better half sounds like a keeper. If I wasn't spoken for already, I would ask if she had a sister. :D. Even better would be if she would j...

Quick brag, I'm over 800K meters rowed and down 45 pounds. More importantly, I don't feel like I'm on a "diet" and I love my workouts. ...so I know there are 1000 posts about how to get into the proper zones for the best weight loss (or whichever goal you choose). I'm not putting those down AT ALL. ...

I definitely understand your frustrations here. Personally, I went for a combination of things. When I was rowing shorter (harder) rows to attempt to set PRs, I tried to stay as close to perfect form as possible. On the longer and/or slower rows I tried to stay close, but went with comfort over form...

...so I'm going to give you the reverse of the "conventional wisdom". I generally row every day 10-20K per day, and I weight in at 285 today (down from 324). I have taken off 2 days in the last month, and probably 5 total in 2 months. Maybe that is too much, but I feel GREAT. I'm not sure if you're ...

I am in a similar situation at this point. I'm 5'11 290 pounds at 47 years old. I have lost 35 pounds over the past couple of months, and most has been through rowing. My first 10K I thought I was going to DIE. My best 10K time so far is just under 45 minutes, but I've been rowing pretty much 10-20K...
