Right after college I started working a desk job doing package tracing for an international shipping company, off topic, but always fill out the entire form damn it. Back to topic. Decided I was a fat load of s- and started doing research. After 2 months of busting my ass I dropped 100~ pounds and 20% body fat, at the…
I agree on that, most fat people I know that work in a computer environment are also very lazy people in the end... that prefer staying in front of a computer playing a video game or watching tv instead of realizing that after being sit down for 8 hours at work, the last thing you should be doing is going back home to sit…
I used to fight in muay thai bouts when I had more time to train and such, but a few important notes that helped me become and stay super lean: Exercise: Well duh :P just try to stay away from slow, long jogs and such. I used to measure my workout by how out of breath and how sweaty I was after 5 min. Chill out for a bit,…

I really never had a problem with my weight before that. But anyway I have lost early 4 stones in the last 3…
When I started game development after college I weighed 195. After only 2 years I am down to about 168 without working out ever or trying to lose weight. I find it so easy to lose weight doing this job. I eat far less when on the computer then when not. And crunch is even better. I have lost 6 pounds crunching over the…
Count calories. If you have a smartphone there are a few apps that help with this, most of them come with a bar code scanner and remember recent entries. Depending on your disposition it might be easier to just limit your intake to 1000-1500 calories and watch the pounds melt off. It goes faster if you do some light…
err genetics, metabolism and age... you're also like what 14-15 with parents who are paper thin? I had heavy parents but I was pretty active because I didn't want to turn out that way.
