man over the last two years I have gained 30 lbs by taking a desk job, anyone else feel my pain?
I went from a skinny dude who could never gain weight, 6'3 155 lbs, to a skinny dude with love handles and mini keg..anyone else gain weight their first few years when taking their desk job?


looks like it is time to get a gym membership and a good diet plan

 

I've noticed that myself when I used to work security and went from patrol on a bike to dispatcher(only option if I wanted to move up in the rank to Sgt.) doing paperwork and sending officers to calls and posts. Then, as soon as I made Sgt., I went back out on bike as a roaming supervisor. Years later I quit and am a tech and installer for heating and a/c company and turned out allot of muscle from the job. Need to still lose the gut though(still working on it).

 

I do the slimfast diet and play tennis two nights a week. I used to be big into weights, but it requires too much time. I am 6'2, 190-195. I plumped up to 215 before i decided to lose weight. I have slimfast shake for breakfast, a light lunch and whatever i want for snacks or dinner and I gain zero weight. Desk jobs make people fat....

 

I work a desk job and I'm in the best shape of my life. All you have to do is workout after work and eat right.

 

i need to do both of the above

 

 

Mine came with marriage

 

I commute 1.5 hours to and from work. When I get home I don't have time to workout. I'll try to jog for like 20 minutes a day or something like that, because I have gotten a little gut.

 

I do 1 hour of heavy cardio 4 times a week, plus I usually get up from my desk and walk a quarter to half-mile twice a day. Occasionally, I'll do some weights at the gym, too. I don't eat super-healthy, but I seldom intake more than 2000 calories in a day. I seldom eat fast food, I've cut out sodas entirely, I have yogurt & a slice of turkey for breakfast, usually a wrap or sandwich for lunch, and then whatever I can find for dinner.

Yet, I still have pudge. Not sure what to do about it other than just not eat at all.

 

oh yeah i forgot to mention i got married during this time too!

double whammmiiieeee!!!
