I sure did.  Ever since i left my lumber yard job i started to pack on the lbs.  Since last yr i gained about 28-30 lbs.  its not horrible since in hs i was 160lbs most of the time.  Then after 2 yrs of college i hit 180-190.  Now i am at like 211.  Im 6'3 so im not a short fat guy.  

 

Great story back in hs i wanted to gain some weight for bball.  Going through picks sucks and it takes a toll on your body. So i took weight gainer.  Also ran xcountry that yr. 10 mls a day.  After that summer of running/lifting i lost 5lbs.  Made no sense.

 

I cant wait to get back in the gym and get up and down the floor been a long time since i have done that

Yeah, I'm probably up a good 20 pounds since last year.  I was about 170 when I graduated from high school (00) and have been lifting weights since then and now I'm up to 200.  But, then again, I am 6'4" so I'm still not too big.  I'd be in better shape but I'm always on this dang forum.

I graduated HS in 1981 and was 6'1" and weighed 149 lbs.  

 

Now I'm 6'0" and weigh 158 lbs.  So not only have I gained weight in the last 20 years or so, but I've also shrunk!!!

 

In HS I carried most of my weight just below the beltline (at least I thought so...)  Now I think I carry most of it just above the beltline!!!   LOL!!!  ;)

Nope.  I can eat anything I want, all day  long, and not gain a pound.  Some of the time I even lose weight.

im with you ther jp.  although since high school '98 i have gained 20 lb that's because i site at a desk all day and when there are meeting there are always food left over that we'll eat.  Im also not short either 6'4" here.

Wow, 1981, I wasn't even born yet  :D  :P

 

Don't worry shaner's your not too old.

I beg to differ on the "too old" part.   :sigh:   Listening to Creed doesn't quite counteract those cold hard numbers.

Home for the holidays, and didn't miss a meal.  Dinner with the Outlaws, breakfast at my niece's, lunch with some HS buddies (liquid), dinner with my folks, etc.  

Bloated again, just like last year.

I am exactly like Jp on this one.  I can eat all I want, and haven't gained any weight in probably 2 years.  I'm almost exactly the same size I was when I graduated HS, 5'7" and 150lbs.  I would start gaining some weight if I would start lifting weights again though, which I will start after Jan 1st.

I used to be able to eat anything and not gain any weight, but the last few years I've put on a few pounds, mostly beer I think.  This last year I've been so busy that I've lost weight, wife calls me skinny, but I'm sure when I start slowing down I'll probably put it back on.

Well lets see, I have lost about 15lbs since the beginning of the year, so I am now a whole 135lbs and standing at 5'8"...I had hit around 160ish about a year and a half ago around when I graduated HS (june '00), so that is about 30lbs give or take a couple in the past year and a half...I am just plain skinny I guess...oh well... :sigh:

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.

      Fix one problem and find another.   Truck didn't have a thermostat in it so I flushed out the system today and refilled with 50/50 Dexcool. This truck is so old (LOL) that it has a sticker under the hood alerting people to the fact that it contains such. There is also an orange supplement with the owner's manual alerting the owner that "Your vehicle is one of a number of late production 1995 General Motors vehicles that use a newly developed engine coolant in the cooling system..."   I was still a little flummoxed by what seemed like a rich condition (exhaust smell, and a puff of carbon with a punchy rev). While watching the coolant temperature and testing the thermostat with my scanner, I happened to notice the IAT (incoming air temperature) to the intake was -40F. I know the temp is below average today, but I can still feel my face, and I was wearing shorts.   D'oh!! I realized I had never plugged the IAT back in, and the airbox was out while I was doing coolant. So I paused, reinstalled the airbox and plugged in the IAT, and viola. Things cleared right up, and I watched the coolant temp climb to a reported 198 degrees on the scanner (195 thermostat) and then it dropped to 194 (open) and then back up to 198 and held. Let it cool, came back, checked the coolant level and was satisifed.   Victory lap?   It needed more than the couple of gallons of gas I put in it from almost bone dry, so I ran it up to the gas station. It had earned it, or, at least I was pretty certain I wouldn't be draining or removing the tank anytime soon.   CEL popped on just as I was cruising a nice steady 40mph, just after coasting down a slight downhill curve.. Of course, it did, because, why let me enjoy not having dash emojis for a little while.   I just happened to have the scanner plugged in. I don't text and drive but I might scan and drive. Don't tell the police.   P0401, EGR flow insufficient.    Well, hello, EGR... ...my old friend! Welcome to the party, now that the engine reaches the factory-programmed operating temperature. I'm sure it was gagging on hostile, rich exhaust and carbon this whole time so I'll take it off and look again.   At least it's easily accessible, and worst case, about $65 to replace.   To keep, or to sell... Hmm. I want it running correctly either way. It's easier to sell when there are no fault codes.   It needs tires (they're aged out and cracking)   It could probably use an oil pan seal, or maybe the timing cover gasket/ junction with the pan needs redone because I've got an issue there that leaves a drop of oil on the floor.   If I do tires I'm sure they'll say the ball joints could use freshening, and, and, and, and.... At some point I'll have to stop. I can't (shouldn't) make it perfect, that's not what this rig is.
