Re: 1,000,000 meters done

... Near the end of January I was down about 40lbs ... Since February 2 I have rowed a million meters and dropped another 100lbs. Still have 90lbs to go but wanted to share my milestone. ... It is mainly just a huge reduction in calories with the hope/expectation that my BMR stays relatively normal...

Re: 1,000,000 meters done

Well done Castu. I’m closing in on my 1M and it will feel good to get there. Fortunately I have never had a problem with weight, but always being active and not actually liking ‘bad’ food probably helps. That said during lockdown I have consumed more ‘bad’ calories than I did before - mainly from g...

Re: 1,000,000 meters done

Sounds like you got this. I am feeling confident at the moment but there are still some tough days. I have failed before and it'll be a lifelong effort. But so far so good You may want to add a little strength training in your mix. You don't have to go crazy & get an Olympic barbell set. Calistheni...

1,000,000 meters done

I reached a million meters today since I started rowing in February. I was 400lbs on December 1 and decided to eat healthier and less to be supportive of my wife who had started dieing on her own. I figured I'd lose some weight but it was not my primary motivation. Near the end of January I was down...
