50 years old

5' 9"

190 lbs

goal- 180-185 (range)

going to be difficult, since I developed a sweet tooth recently, I do drink 1 soda per day also, dont know why they are so good to me, I avoided them for 30 yrs. Hmph? I'll be damned if I know??

I figure I'll lose 10 off the bat then try to keep it in my comfort range. I know I'll have some weeks or days where I'll be at my high end of the range but Im hoping I can spend some serious time down around the low end of my weight range too.

Im expecting my handicap to lower also, from weight loss and more play starting tomorrow. 3 rounds per week and short game practice on the days I dont play for at least an hour or 2

Im going to try to obtain a 0 index......Key word is "try"    I think I can do it.

4/18  - 156 lbs - I started the p90x program and diet.

5/6 - 148  (total lost 8 lbs)

Basically following their fat burner diet (first 30 days) which consists of 5 proteins a day, 1 carb, 2 dairy, 1 fruit, 2 veggies, 1 protein bar, 1 snack.  I am following the 1400 calorie a day level.

The workout is 6 days a week, each day doing something different.  Chest/Back/Abs, Cardio, Legs/Back/Abs, Kempo, Arms/Shoulders/Abs, Yoga, Rest

Gets addicting after a while.  But my biggest gripe though is the length of the workout.  Most run 75min to 90min long.  Which can be tough to fit in with work and family life.


Update as of 5/18 down to 143.5 lbs.  So far down 12.5 pounds in 30 days.  My original goal was 142 but I think I have a new goal of 130 with more fat loss and some muscle gains.

Nice thread... I too am trying to get back into shape..  I have recently had to give up Triathlon training due to knee surgeries, and at 37 my time to enjoy a lifetime game is finally here (so I am fully dedicated to learning Golf)... but I am trying to get back in shape since I fell so out of shape due to the knee limitations..

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
