My weight loss battle.

GoodLuck
OMG AT THE TAGS
thx dude

You and I haven't always seen eye to eye, but think the fact you are taking a step to get healthy in a healthy way is great and I wish you luck.
Thank you <3

holler!!!! im on the same mission... except i was recently diagnosed with adult adhd, so the adderall prescription has been making me lose weight!

one of the side effects of adderall is appetite suppression, which it has been doing very well. prior to starting the adderall i was at around 325 almost my highest of all time. now that i have been on it for a month im at 298 and almost 4 pant sizes down. my goal is 250 for now, when i hit 280 i will start my old football workout! ahmed man, you are for sure not alone in that worry game, or dont fit game man. it sucks!
Biggest loser? SFLD Spec?

hahahahah, I will still be the same jolly goofy tall Camel Jockey...just a little less round.

Sounds like you have a great plan going along with an even better support system, which is the biggest thing along with being able to stick to your regiment. Very inspiring and wish u the best in this journey, even tho u don't know me lol.
thanks alot random dude!

homie I wish you the best and I'm confident a badass like you will make it. I want you to know that reading this has inspired me to do the same... I been meaning to lose weight but I've been lazy and a bit depressed (effects of being fat) and my girl has been a great support as well but she is worried about my health now. I'm at 265lbs and I should be around 180-190lbs... I get winded just doing simple task and it suck, also all the clothes I like are usually not made in 2XL.

I wish you lived closer so u could use my pool if any time.

good luck bro. you got this!
Dude that would be so dope! My father in law offered me the same thing, but sadly, I'm not ready for that type of exposure just yet. I think I'm gonna stick to the pool at the gym for the next few months, and see where things go.

Good luck with this broski.

Def a good thing to notice, and def an even greater then to start making the adjustments and steps to a healthier lifestyle.

You can do it. :bigthumbu
Thanks alot.

Thats awesome dude. I just went from 285 to 260 in 2-3 weeks. Low cal diets do the trick BIG time. Keep up the good work and I hope you reach your goal.
Thanks dude, I heard u were on a similar tip. What is it you're doing?

Awesome, you can overcome anything you put your mind to.

This should be moved to Technical as a Weight Reduction.

Ahmed, best of luck reaching your goal dude, and the best advice I can offer is get rid of lactose (not just milk, cheese and cream and yogurt too) and soda. I dropped from 245 to 180 in about 6 months just taking those items out of my diet and some irregular working out and that was being pretty liberal with how much I stuck to it.

Those two things are the worst shit to put into your body!

lactose is not bad for you.... Milk is the cornerstone of my diet... Only thing is that you need organic non-fat milk which only gives you nutrients and the goodies your body requires......
 
im seeing milk, and yogurt... lol depends on what kinds of cheeses, yogurts, milks...

non fat greek yogurt has about as much protein as a hunk of chicken (forgot the ounces of chicken) and is lighter, lower in calories and just as low in carbs. throw some fresh fruit in that shit and you have yourself one of the leanest healthiest lunches in the book... not to mention SUSHI!!!! ( no crazy rolls, just fish and rice or just fish) its how the okinawans life expectancy is in the 80's...almost 90's. milk, drink soy milk, or skim organic like otis said! cheese... cottage cheese, cheddar, all of those are decent. the cream is really the only thing i agree with there. soda is good, just no dark sodas, keep it clear like diet sprite, or whatever.. but at the end of the day its all moderation! so keep that in mind.

to ahmed, im not sure what your plan looks like or what diet they have you doing, but for me it always is and has been portion control. i dont eat junk too often, i dont like candy, i had my first taste of mcdonalds today after like 3-4 months. except a chicken nugget while drunk. i look at my plate (honestly speak to myself portion what i would normally have eaten... usually the entire plate and then what my sister didnt eat) but i look at my plate and just eat half... tell my self im full if i get hungry i drink water or milk and a banana or something apples too! no carb works really well but ketosis is not good for your body, nor for when you eat regular food again.

really after i broke my back and sat almost motionless for close to 2 years, i had gone from 180lbs football player to 360 almost in sophomore year. after i was allowed to not use the brace i dropped like 40 lbs just naturally. but had been stuck at like 310-325 just bouncing monthly... when my car went down i gained like 20 lbs since the year and a half its been running. Now i am just fed up with being the BIG GUY...

so being in college i started to realize how hard it is for me to study, or pay attention... even holding conversations with the ones i love. i got frustrated trying to focus on anything and decided to get tested for add... well the tests came back conclusive, and well the adderall keeps my mind clear, and allows me to choose the good foods from the junk ones. also am a lot less impulsive, so money has been saving, eating at the house instead of running out for junk and now my appetite is about half of what it was even without the medicine due to my stomach reducing in size im sure. portion control is the key dude and im glad you are seeing results so quickly!




one day all the FORMERLY FAT DUDES SHOULD JUST GO OUT FOR DRINKS AND DRIFTING!!! HOLLAAAAA:gayfight:

My diet is basically all about portion control.

it is a 3 week process.
week 1- you must drink 8 glasses of water, 2 drinks full of electrolytes, smart water, smart water zero, etc.
For food for the first week you are allowed 1,000 Calories per day, of Protein only. You get a tiny scale, and a table that tells you how many calories each piece of protein has per ounce.

You cannot eat more than 1,000 calories in protein per day. I learned very very quickly, that eating is habitual. Like smoking! I smoke when I'm doing car shit. If I'm at work, I have no desire to smoke. It's weird. I can have a shitty horrible day at work, and go home and talk to my wife and be all gravy baby. But If I am out in the garage, I feel incomplete without a cigarette.

Food is the same way. We associate food with so many things in our lives, I realized the 2nd or 3rd day of the diet, my wife's sisters were over and we were just talking in the living room when i realized, i'm not munching on anything. I'm not even hungry...but I'm not munching on anything so I feel incomplete. Get over that, and your fucking golden.

The second week they introduce lettuce, and salad greens. Ontop of the 1st weeks stuff, you are allowed 1-2 cups of salad greens per day. But here's the catch. U cannot have more tan 1 tsp of "light ranch" or a "light dressing". 1 fucking teaspoon? are u fucking kidding me? I dip a carrot in one tablespoon of heavy ranch. SO Publix sells this walden farms zero calorie salad dressing. (awesome)

The third week they introduce cheese and fruits. Certain fruits, and light cheese. but still, the same as the last week only your allowed to substitute some salad for some dairy/fruits.

It sounds horrible. It sounds like it sucks, and honestly it DID. I LOVE SUSHI, and we had a dinner date planned with a few other couples the first weekend after I started...and we went out to Sushi. Fucking sucked nutsack because I just got some steak...and I couldn't have the fly lice...but thankfully, both god and my wife are on my side on this one.

I am eating so much less then I ever have. I had to document what I ate teh day before I started my diet, and averaged 6-7K calories lol. And that was a slow day. Starting this thread has also given me some much needed self confidence honestly. I did not think I would get this level of support, and for that I <3 u all. I have dropped 2 pant sizes already...54 to a 50.

The question is not longer..."if I get skinny" it is simply a matter of "when I get skinny".

I'm still a fat ass, but I'm super motivated. With the beginning of rainy season begins the constant knee pains which makes working out that much harder. Luckily, once again, I cannot stop saying how blessed I am, my wife (who doesn't read these posts hahaha) has been the greatest blessing I have...helping me when I'm motivated, and motivating me when I'm not. Knowing the problems with my knees, she decided that everyday when we get home, we should take a brief simple walk around the block...then go inside and continue with our normal days. This tiny bit of excercise will hold me over until I'm allowed to go all out at the gym. we now expanded our "walk around the block" to our walk around 4 blocks.
I <3 err body right now.
Have a great day.

3 years of football, being overweight, a nasty car accident + some disease which is eating away at my joints and can suck my nuts.
 
dude i like that diet plan... i might try it. with adderall it would be too easy to! what bout week four? is it just that way forever after week 3? im interested in this because losing weight is a primary goal for a lot of americans, me being one of them. tomorrow im playing golf before work but i am actually getting back into the gym this week my brother and i. he is getting ready for bootcamp and im just trying to fill in my shirts with upperbody awesomeness rather than lower mid section fail sauce???

dude im proud of your weight loss already! 4 pant sizes your already kicking my ass and i have been at it for like 1 month... so im stealing your diet plan and getting it in with you... tired of having to ask if the seat is fatboy approved you feel me? so with that being said i can check in with you later and visa versa but you have a partner in this man!
 
I'm down dude!
After week three you maintain that until you reach your goal weight.
BUT, I take a bunch of supplements.
I get a B12 Shot twice a week
I take a fat burner 3 times a day
I take something called vita super
http://www.vitabase.com/supplements/multivitamins/vita-super.aspx
looks something like that
And I take 3 calcium pills daily.
ALSO... they give you an appetite suprescent which they tell u you should take three times a day...but I usually take one around 9 AM and I'm good for the rest of the day...but on weekends, when eating is a fucking job...I will take 2.
I try not to rely on things too much, why i'm always in so much fucking pain...I don't take my pain meds as I am prescribed.

FINALLY, and what I would say is the worst part of the diet...
Since you are barely getting any fiber the first week, bowel movements aren't normal. =(. I realized after being on the diet for 5 days, I didn't poop for the last 3...which is extremely bad.
There is something called Mira-lax...and it tastes like shit, but if u drink a cup of it daily, it will soften the poop...for an easier pooping experience.

^^^^Thats the disclaimer of the diet hahahaha.

LMK if u have any other questions or need anything homie!
Good luck to u, and thanks for the support!
