Men’s Journal receives compensation for purchases made when you click on a link and buy something below. The biggest struggle when it comes to losing weight is making sure the weight actually stays lost. We work so hard to rid ourselves of it.

Leif Haugen has found a seasonal job he loves, and has done it for the past 24 years.

The Lone Lookout: The Man Protecting Montana’s Forests from Great Big Story on Vimeo. Essentially one of the most idyllic tiny homes we’ve ever seen, Haugen resides by himself for around three months as a fire lookout for the U....

Mawonei Muchacha, the aunt, alerted a neighbor, Samuel Chekai, and the two began following tracks with a flashlight....
Words by Conor Mihell // Photography by David Jackson Lake Superior has a way of building and quashing paddlers’ hopes. The wind comes and goes, teasing the surface of the world’s largest expanse of freshwater from millpond calm to waves that rival the ocean. Moment to moment, one day to the next, the lake can morph from paddleable to impassable. Photojournalist David Jackson experienced Lake Superior for the first time in September, the month when the big lake rises from its relative summertime slumber and assumes its restless mood of autumn....

The 2017-18 NBA season didn’t get started quite the way the Boston Celtics had hoped. Facing off against the Eastern Conference-rival Cleveland Cavaliers, the Celtics debuted their two new star players: Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving. Irving had all the attention before the game since he was returning to Cleveland, in which he spent the first six years of his NBA career. By halftime, though, all eyes in Quicken Loans Arena were focused on Hayward....
Five days into a voyage spanning hundreds of miles, photographer Chris Burkard captured passenger Steven Tonkinson diving into the arctic waters of eastern Greenland last September. Burkard cruised from Kulusuk, in the southeast part of the country, through icy waters on a Danish sailboat, photographing glacial remnants and rugged, wind-eroded landscapes. Erratic weather patterns forced the crew to adapt to changing surroundings. “A lot can go wrong,” says Burkard, “and you never know what will happen above deck....
This story originally appeared in CANOE & KAYAK. Words by Charli Kerns. Next to your boat, paddle and safety gear, a good car rack is the most critical item in a paddler’s gear inventory. Don’t skimp here, because no matter what you hear about raging rapids and sudden squalls, the most dangerous part of paddling is getting to the put-in. You can’t do anything about those other idiots on the road, but you can make sure your boat stays safe and secure on your roof rack....
It’s one thing to hold down a job and train for a 10K. You can run anywhere, anytime. It’s another to squeeze three different disciplines to prepare for your first triathlon. Workaholics — by design or demand — have an even tougher time figuring out how to balance the right amount of training while still earning a paycheck and playing life. Paul Buccieri, president of A&E Networks/A&E Studios, trained for his first Ironman triathlon last year....
A sign over a virtual shark tank at the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. reads “Touch at your own risk.” Gregory Heinzman probably wondered, “What could happen?” So he reached out and touched the screen replicating an aquarium glass window as a great white shark swam by. As reported by Storyful, Casey Peck had a feeling this would be worth documenting so, fortunately for us, she was videotaping: Clearly Heizman read the warning sign, and kept touching the screen....
Marine biologist Nan Hauser credits a 50,000 humpback whale for protecting her from a tiger shark while snorkeling recently. Unknowingly to Hauser, a tiger shark was in the water nearby while she was interacting with the humpback whale during a dive off Muri Beach in Rarotonga, Cook Islands in October. The whale can be seen in the below video tucking her underneath its pectoral fin, although the shark is never clearly visible in the footage....
