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

 

 

:sigh:

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.

Hey!!!  I still have a pretty full head of hair!!!  And just a tiny bit is fading to the distinguished color of knowledge...  LOL!!!

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:

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
