Title: The Foil Diet - Lose Some Weight and Try Harder
Post by: Beasho on July 20, 2021, 06:17:42 PM: I'm too big and too old to do that.

Well then try harder!

Thanks Piros for the motivation. I haven't lost the weight but I am taking off on nothing and getting multiple waves.

Here's an example of taking off on flat. Slight push by the first wave and up on the next.

You doing it from a flat start (regardless of whatever "slight push" you might have received) is incredible. Much respect my man. 👏🏽👏🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
