thorne Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 So I'm kind of excited. I got weight tonight at the Doctors (I've got bronchitis) I was over 300lbs. I'm going to post pictures later tonight of my fat ass. Since December I've dropped over 70lbs. I am now down to 233. I can wear clothes I have not worn in a long time How I did it. Eat less. I still enjoy some candy but only in moderation. For the first 4 months I did not allow myself any candy. I also found that when I eat slower I ate much less. Move around. Exercise is cool but start small. I would walk more or pace when I was idle instead of setting down. DROP NON DIET POP. I dropped my habit of 3-6 cans of dew a day to a few cans of diet pop. It takes about 3months to get used to the taste. Now I don't even notice. Find something you enjoy for exercise. For me its DDR I love playing it and I don't even think about it when I do play. Allot of times I push myself harder then I ever did when I went to the gym just to beat my previous high score. Vitamins. I found when I them I was less hungry. Don't give up. It’s hard at first I really had allotted of trouble ever time I tried to lose weight because of will power. I woke up every day and looked at a skinner pictures of myself and told myself If I did not get to that I would have to have another surgery on my back/neck.

baron_ Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 i've lost 30 from 232 to 202 only been about two months eating right is key working out is overrated - run for an hour to burn off a single cookie doesn't work deli sandwiches - turkey + 35 calorie bread = meal with 200, 250 calories One or two lean cuisines a day and 2 or so of those sandwiches and you can eat pretty decently all day with under 1500 calories at 1500 calories, you lose a pound every other day or two by doing absolutely nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 congrats. i started trying to lose some weight around mid march. started eating lighter (packing a tuna sandwich and fruit instead of eating out daily), started drinking 3-4 bottles of water a day, and going to the gym 3-4 times a week. started around 215, right now im at about 201. i noticed a lot of it dropping off my waist, because the pants i bought 2 months ago are probably 2 sizes too big (could easily pull of a 34 waist now, maybe even a 32)...ive even had to switch to the last hole on my favorite belt goal is to get to 185 by my birthday (june 18th)...i think if i keep at it i can get close. first 10lbs came off quick, now im working my ass off for nothing...probably gaining muscle i never had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah, you lost 70 lbs. next time at the gym pick up 2 35 lb. dumbbells and remember how it felt. Remember what kind of extra weight that is on every muscle and every joint. That'll help keep the weight off. I dropped 60 lbs and can't imagine letting myself get that way again.

TheHaze Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I dropped pop in high school once for baseball season and lost 10 lbs in a month with an otherwise unaltered diet/excercise. All I drank was water and/or Gatorade. I'm drinking a Coke right now, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Congrats. I have been on the same mission as you. Last year I weighed 240. A year later of just adding working out to my schedule, I have dropped 30 pounds. My goal is to at least see less than 200 by the end of this year. I know it is completely possible, but I don't want to kill myself by setting a really low goal. I honestly never ate bad as it was. I have myself down to only drinking pop once a week, all other times it is water or lemonaide. The biggest thing I was happy about was I finally had to go out and buy new jeans that were a smaller size. I have went from a 36 to a 34. I haven't been a 34 since I graduated high school.
