The Mage Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Found a quick way to loose weight. Step 1. Start planning, and fixing your diet, by reducing the amount of crap you are eating. Step 2. Get in one single workout. Step 3. Get the Flu. Now skipping all the bad stuff is easy because you don't really want to eat anything, although now you really don't feel like working out. Step 4. Get bronchitis. Now you are too busy coughing to eat. Not to mention every time you cough, it feels like you are being put into a corset. (I am assuming what a corset feels like here.) Step 6. Find a nice medicine that knocks you out so you spend the time you could be eating, sleeping. I'm down about 7 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mage Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I seem to be at the end of the Flu. It sucks, but I tend to get bronchitis every time I get sick, It usually doesn't kick in until I am starting to feel better, but this time it hit me about 2 days in. It might be because it was a flu, something that hasn't hit me for quite a while. I did a 5 day course of antibiotics, though it is supposed to be in my system for 10. My cough isn't crushing my chest anymore, and doesn't seem as common, but it is still there, along with that oh so wonderful phlegm, and my energy isn't where it was before I got sick. I feel like I'm whining though. I mean everyone's been sick. Probably half the members here have been sick in the last 2 or 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I know how you feel. I don't get sick often, but when I do it is usually pretty bad. I lost about 15 lbs last May when I was down for a week. The good thing is, I only gained 3 back lol. It is quite the fat loss program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 And to think I went and got my flu shot in November. I could stand to lose more than a few pounds. Get well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often something like this can cause a loss of lean body mass, which unfortunately can slow down a metabolism. Although it doesn't take long to rebuild that muscle back up.

The Mage Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Update, on a 2nd course of antibiotics, more codeine, (still not convinced it works any better than dextromethorphan,) and prednisone, which I think is finally getting rid of this cough I have had for like 3 weeks now. Oh yeah, down another 3 lbs, but it is fluctuating a little more since I started getting my appetite back. And I did have a flu shot. (I could swear I responded to your post lacanteen.)
