What do fat gamers use to sit on their ass comfortably for 18 hrs at a time? Bingo. Get a gamer chair. I’m partial to the ones from Secret Labs. Liked it so much I bought one for my regular office too. My spouse liked mine so much I bought a 3rd one for their home office

I have a brown Downyx I got from Amazon for $220 last year. Faux leather and a few cool features, good lumbar support and arm rest, and doesn’t come across as “too gamer” on calls because of the color/texture.

What's your budget. Steelcase brand chairs is the good standard.

Can second this. We have 2! First one we splurged and did a super fancy custom one and then got a basic design for 2nd. They’re both great and I can’t notice a difference for the more expensive model.

Keep an eye out on the secondary market. All those Herman Miller chairs from empty offices will be hitting auction sites. I got one that way a few years back. The Aero is a wonderful chair.

F1, yes Aeron. Gotta love spell check.
AM2, you can Google liquidators in your area. Some auctions like Dove are online now.
AGC1, good call on warehouses.

Definitely agree on the Herman miller Aeron chair! Expensive but really changed everything, and worth it for something you use 8+ hrs a day. There are definitely consignment options to get cheaper too! But rec seeing if a show room store is near you to try the sizes.

Focus on office chairs, definitely not gaming chairs.

Gaming chairs are gimmicks and have terrible ergonomics. They’re also marked up in price due to brand.

Check Costco’s current office chair offerings. Their products always have good cash:value ratio. My girlfriend and I got ours from Costco for $100 each and they’re heat

Another for the aeron. Got a new one with all the silly add ons off a liquidator on Facebook marketplace for $400

Herman Miller. Considering how much time we spend sitting it’s worth the investment.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office.

I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

Experience sharing on calories deficit -
I have a normal body build but want to lose a few pounds(especially around my belly). I am making visible progress now by eating less(work gets busy and I use that to forget about hunger), a lot of walking, have casein protein to feel less hungry. Diet is really what do the trick.
But there are drawbacks too - my energy level(especially around night time) drop significantly that the level of exercise I used to do feels hard (light/mid intensity)
