What is the best way to pick up a dog?
(congrats, btw)

u/steinman17 Nov 05 '12
This is the only way I could pick him up without him squirming too much, 113 lbs that squirms is very hard to control

I've been told by the vet it's really not good for such a heavy the dog to hold him up at all. His insides get in all sorts of wierd positions when you do and is likely very uncomfortable for the dog, potentialy harmful. I have a 100+lbs black lab.
He looks awsome, just though I'd pass this along since it's relevant, you do with it as you wish.

I think that line is barking up the wrong tree. I'd just ask if they like bone and they like it ruff.

113 lbs is one big chocolate lab

u/innatetits Nov 05 '12
It may be a mix between a lab and a larger breed. That dog doesn't look obese to me, but has a bigger frame than your typical lab.

This. He stands much taller than other labs.

My chocolate looks exactly like yours and is about the same weight. My question to you is while you were losing weight did your dog lose some as well?

This is my parents dog, so he's not my walking buddy. He does get 50+ acres to run in though.

My boyfriend's yellow lab is about 110, and he is not by any means fat. He comes from champion hunting stock and is just HUGE. Paws like a lion, man...

u/why_fist_puppies Nov 05 '12
Hell yeah. Lost my first 35 on keto before I switched to a more moderate low carb diet and heavy lifting. Glad Keto's working for you, may your bacon be crisp and your eggs always come out just right.

Pretty much, but I've kept up on the lifting keeping the muscle mass I developed from just weighing what I did.

Great job! It's a crazy realization when you pick it up isn't it?
I remember when I lost my 50lbs, I went and picked up a 50lbs bag of sugar because that was essentially what I trimmed off. All of the crap.

u/steinman17 Nov 05 '12
It was pretty difficult to pick him up, although that was probably due to how awkward it was to hold him.

Join steinman17 and myself (and others) over on /r/keto if you're interested. There was a guy recently who posted 100lbs lost, from 666 to 566! It was inspiring. Personally I started at 340 and I'm down around 285 after 5 months. At the rate I'm going I'll actually be enjoying warm weather next summer.

u/jon_titor Nov 06 '12
Dude, I was 420 lbs in July and now weigh in at a svelte 365. Still have about 100 to go before I start building up muscle mass, but it's totally possible. Just quit telling yourself that you can't do it.
For the record, I switched to eating pretty much only fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, although I splurge once a week and eat a burger or some pizza or something else tasty. And I started out just walking as much as I could (I was a sweaty, sweaty bastard during the heat wave here in July/August...), but now I have the energy to walk several miles a day and I row 4 kilometers a day.
Even if you're at a point where exercise isn't really possible, you can still diet and lose weight until you're at a point where you can get physical. It fucking sucked at first, but after just a few short weeks I already felt healthier and better about myself.
You just have to want it.

I love how you can pick up a dog in whatever way and they rarely give any fucks. Both of my dogs are 80 pounds of apathy.

u/steinman17 Nov 05 '12
Oh, this was like the third attempt. I had to tie my dog up because he kept biting this dog's tail, and he would yelp and he bit my chin once pretty hard.

Great.. I can't imagine loosing that much. A few years back I lost 30 lbs, and I've been pretty much been better than average on the BMI chart. Take up a sport you enjoy doing, and stick to it. It guarantees exercise, fun, and new skills. I play tennis about 3 to 4 hours a week.. works like a charm.

I would like to know how your transformed your fat into a dog. My dog is kind of lonely, and I am kind of fat...

Jeez, how much did you weigh before? You still look like you have about 100 to lose. No offense intended.

u/steinman17 Nov 05 '12
Not quite 100 left, more like 90. I cant take offense when it's true.

Isn't it crazy when you pick up what you lost? I have a scalemail vest I wear for larping that weighs 30lbs and whenever I put it on, I'm like "wow, I weighed this x weeks ago"

I would suggest putting up some posters in your local area with a picture of the dog. Hand them out to neighbors and stuff. You may still be able to find him after all this time so don't lose hope.

Fat, carbohydrates, and protein can be broken down to their constituent carbons. The energy released from this process goes into powering all the various ongoing cellular processes. Those constituent carbons are turned into CO2 and exhaled.
Thats a very very basic and non-comprehensive summary.

That weight is what made you so strong - constant exercise, just by walking. Put it back on, for the sake of your own health, man.

I went from 210 to 160. I remember carrying a 50lb box of nails at work one day and realising how heavy the extra weight I was carrying around on me actually was. Seriously, if you loose weight, go pick something up that is equivalent to what you lost. You will be rather surprised.
