Hello Guys, One of the occupational hazards of being a webmaster, is the lack of physical activity during work hours. This usually leeds to a struggle with your weight especially if you like eating and have a slow metabolism. Unfortunately this has been the case for me for most of my life. Since 2001, I have had huge weight swings going from 70 KG (155 LBS) to 120 KG (265 LBS) and then back to 80 KG (177 LBS) back in 2008 after 12 months of body building. Since then, due to a few personal problems and lack of movement, I have gone back up to 105 KG (232 LBS) in May 2011 (loosing my fit body) however managed to drop back to 90 KG (198 LBS) in July after a strict diet. Anyway, I added a section under my new webmaster blog called FAT TO FIT (or vice versa ) where I am going to share my experiences and pictures with my fellow webmasters in hopes that I can connect with my collegues who are having similar problems. Lets see if we can get some strength in numbers and manage to inspire webmasters around the world who are having weight problems. Please feel free to share your experiences under this thread or under FAT TO FIT section of my blog. Thanks in advance for all your comments. Best Regards, Note: I am aware that obesity does not mean being a fat ass and is actually a serious medical condition. I am just merely using a catchy line to attrack forumers attention. I do apologize in advance if it offends anyone.
You neglected to mention your age but I see your tale covers a 10 year period.As we age our metabolism slows down dramatically.Your body may have lost it's ability to burn off calories like it once did.When you are young your body burns them off like a blast furnace.So I put it to you,is your weight "problem" strictly due to your inactive lifestyle(work)or also age related?
Yea this is usually the problem of people working in office Same thing happen to me 7 years ago when i was still doing a lot of sports i hat 80-90 kilos Now i have 120 I started doing sport again but i have 110 Is a hard fight
I think it's great that you are bringing your own experiences to the public for people to read and comment on. You could inspire a lot of people to start swaying towards a healthier lifestyle.
If you focus on your diet you can easily control your fat level. That's what I do, I eat a lot of veggies and fruits. I'm 5'10" and weigh about 79 kg (174 lbs), and I don't exercise at all..
My Mum just died from illnesses related to morbid obesity. Don't underestimate the toll on your body or the loss of dignity the illnesses will cause.
Well, I am still Slim even when I sit or sleep most of the time. Only thing is that I don't like eating much.
Exactly, some people can eat all day long and still have a good body while others are not so fortunate no matter what they do.
Genetics also main reason for Obesity......but we spend more times for exercises and sports means we control .
I have been a web designer for the last 7 years, I am 5'11 150lbs with 10% bodyfat. A little exercise each day and keeping an eye on your calories can go along way
Sorry to hear that Sarah.. You are right, people often do not pay attention to what their body requires..
