    I’m 265 lbs. and if the treadmill takes that into account I see about 400 calories down 30 minutes into my 5k.

    BUT, the saying I’ve heard is “you can’t outrun your fork” and it seems to be true. (For example, I quite enjoy eating 2000 calories at a buffet in 30 minutes… if I’m going to get back down to a reasonable weight, I have to DON’T DO THAT.)

    It is actually harder this time, because before the rapist-in-chief got re-elected, I was down to 220 and could finish a 5k in <28 minutes.

      It’s a struggle like most of life… cardio and weights and all that can keep you fit, but to actually lose weight it’s all in the kitchen. The saying is “abs are made in the kitchen not the gym” cause your body is a machine for gaining weight not losing it. Biologically, if you’re gaining weight your body is fucking winning.
