What matters is how my clothes fit (a way better indicator of weight loss and fitness) and how I physically feel.

Been one of the coolest thing about shedding pounds…… I didn’t throw away some really cool clothes that I either hadn’t been able to wear since the mid 90s or bought over the years thinking I’d one day fit into. My wife keeps thinking I’m buying new clothes, it’s hilarious.

Started giving away all my Blazers swag to coworkers, just don’t fit anymore at all.

Hope I’m not making a mistake giving that gear away and will need it again one day.

Totally had a cheat breakfast today. Up at Starbucks, got my normal Iced tea and had my protein shake…..then I smelled them cooking up a breakfast sandwich and couldn’t resist. Hadn’t has some crispy bacon in forever. Damn that thing was good. Now I’m going to walk the dogs before work to try to burn that off.

Once again FAMS….. thanks for letting me share and passing along advice to me.

Yep, having clothes that don't fit are the down side. I had to donate some beautiful Pendleton wool shirts (in fabulous shape) because they looked like tents on me (and replacing them is way, way too expensive). But my Forty Niners letterman's jacket from the early '90's fits beautifully again, along with some other good stuff I held on to. There are definitely trade offs, but I have my fingers crossed that increased longevity is one of them.......

I JUST got 4 really nice 3XL Cardhart flannels this past winter and now like you said fit on me like a tent.

Hey @SlyPokerDog holler at me…..maybe I can pass along some really nice team issued Blazer gear to people on here if they want. Everything I have is in near perfect shape. Would love to see it go to Blazer fans. I have friends that own a shop on Hawthorne that I was probably going to sell to, but would love to share on here as well if anybody is interested.

Cool! What do you have?

A lot of hoodies! Dri-Fit coaches shirts, that kinda thing. Golf polos. All team issued.

Starting in 2 weeks, doing a huge declutter spring cleaning. I was planning on putting all of that stuff and my shirts and jeans and other things that are just huge on me now aside for goodwill or to have my daughter sell on Poshmark. Before I make any promises, let me check with her. Will see how serious she is about selling. But I would love to donate some for the S2 FAMS.

Anybody have an OURA ring? Team trainers and a few other people have them to help track their health and said it might be good for me to have one. Doing some research tonight and was wondering if you guys have any history with them.

My wife has Oura and loves it. I have Fitbit on my Google watch and prefer that. I've had whoop band too which was nice how simple it was and no screen like oura. Whoop was the best of these to easily charge while wearing. I like how watch can do txt/call/music without my phone and start my car.

Any of those health trackers give you great details and tracking. Helpful to see how different exercise pushes you and how lifestyle choices can impact your health. I like to make sure it's always tracking my data. Sometimes I'll spend time viewing it. But I also have all the notifications off so I can just ignore it for weeks. Sometimes it's best to not obsess over these things and have a mental break. But I could see how it might help a lot to pull up that history with a personal trainer or doctor.

Really any of these different devices work so I think it's more a personal preference if you want it on your finger, wrist, etc. They even have an expensive one built into bedsheets that tracks very detailed sleep, maybe it could track you and the wife "bed exercise".
