Good luck Flopnuts. It's hard to stick with but keep trying. I'm down right at 30 lbs this year, smaller portions and working out 2-3 times a week.
I have been eating quite a bit of Progresso soup, add crackers and it's like 300-400 calories a meal plus it's cheap when you price match or pick it up at Sams. Figure a meal for a buck or 1.25 and your doing well!! |

I've said "I'm in," and not followed through on several of these threads, so I won't embarrass myself further by doing so. I'm back coaching football after two years off, and I will never go into another season with as much weight as I'm carrying. It's just too damn hard on my body (plus, I'll be on espn tomorrow!).
I will say, though, good luck Flop. You're good people and I'm rooting for you. |

Count me in. I'm at 300 and want to get back to 220...ultimately.

Fasting, though, has allowed me to just ignore all the shit meals and calories I was taking in out of habit and really focus on enjoying and doing the food right during my eating periods. It also has allowed me the ability to splurge on occasion when traveling or during holidays with the confidence that I can get the pounds off again if necessary. But yeah, I freaking love to eat. But I'm also an all or nothing guy. If I get started eating something, then it's really hard for me to stop until it's all gone. IF I start in on chocolate chip cookies or cake or something that someone brings to work, then I'll probably have multiple servings, not one. It's much easier for me to never start eating the food than to stop once I do eat it. My wife, on the other hand, does small snacking portions (handfuls of almonds, piece of fruit, slice of cheese, etc...) all day long with no problem. |

In all seriousness, using Weight Watchers has helped me immensely. I'd say it's been the most effective in balancing the weight loss with allowing me to eat and drink what I want.

So that's why fasting works for me. It suits the way I eat. For others it might not work as well (like my wife). |
The whole "loving food" thing has always interested me. I used to work with a guy whose entire day was about what he was going to eat. I used to drive him nuts because while I like food (and love some), it's really just something that my body requires. He used to say, "You know what, Donger!? You eat to live. I live to eat." I actually enjoy the process of making a meal a lot more than eating it.

I'm 210 and way outta shape. Can barely run a mile.
I'm gonna start working out again, today! I need to get my 6 pack back and my motivation is need to be healthy again and feel good. I know 210 doesn't sound like a lot to you, but it's a lot to me and maybe we can motivate each other. |
Eat to live, don't live to eat.

Oh what the ****. Count me in, although I really only have to lose 30-40 or so. Go Flopnuts!

Quote:
So the carb diet doesn't recommend buying a kit to measure the chemicals in your urine to tell exactly when you go into ketosis? Or that it's an essential part of the diet so your body starts breaking down fats for energy instead of storing unused sugars/carbs? S'plain it to me then... |

Secondly, there are probably hundreds of low-carb diets out there. Keto is one of them. |
A question for you people who have lost a significant amount of weight: Did you have some kind of destruction ceremony of your "fat" clothes, or did you keep them stored away "just in case"?
|
Quote:
I thought you were referring to A carb diet, which would mean, at least to me, a low carbohydrate diet. Carry on mate. |

You could use the old fat clothes to make 2 sets of regular clothes.

The only difference now is that instead of being a radical idea people thought might be risky (high meat diet = cholesterol and heart disease) there's a decade of science behind it and it has a cool new name based on the same 10 year old science... |

IMO low carb diets are stupid. Carbs are energy, you need energy. Who wants to lose weight by feeling tired and shitty all of the time? A workout routine and proper eating is fine. Hell you can still eat some crap if you workout, I don't get it.

I haven't done anything with my fat clothes yet, but I'm donating all of them pretty soon.
The main reason I havent done anything is because I dont have enough new clothes yet and sometimes I have to wear some really baggy clothes. |
Quote:
As far as dieting goes....eat very well 6 days a week....On day 7 cheat...it'll become a life style. In '07 I was 240 with a 42" waist, this morning I was 178 with a 36" waist. When I started Insanity 6 weeks ago 190 with a 38" waist. |
Quote:
I don't have much clothing that fits "just right" and i'm too cheap to go buy more if they will just end up being too baggy in a few months anyways. |
So this diet took a fat Latino man and turned him into an angry middle eastern suicide bomber?
**** that diet... |

If anyone wants to talk about healthy eating, portion control, and exercise, I'm all ears. :)
Otherwise, I'll just click to check the status of everyone's keto from time to time. |

Count me in, Mr. Nuts.
However, can we go with Flopnuts' Husky Individuals? LMAO I'm at 286. Shooting for 250. |
Hey, I am a (UW) Husky nut, but sorry, we're all fatties here. We embrace it, because we know we have the power, ability, and knowledge to fix it. :)
|
Good luck dude, I have no doubt you will get it done. How bad do you want it?

I'm sticking with Husky, and that's all there is to it! Let me be Husky or BAN ME! |

I have never been overweight, but to all of you that are in this, I applaud you.
I know that I would never have the willpower and dedication to this that you will. |

Post the FB group and I'll join. Can we post nudes to the site to get the full effect too? LMAO |
CJIGGLES?!?!!?!?
BANNNN!!!!!!!!! LMAO LMAO LMAO Funny. You have to change Mr. plow to Mr. Plump then! |
BTW, God bless every one of you ****ers. I mean it. I've been talking about this, and planning this, and putting this off for weeks now. Right this second with this thread, the responses, and people signing up, it's real. And that is already affecting my decisions I made while I was out today. I'm actually getting started right now.
So, for that, I thank you all. I feel blessed to have this many people post in this thread, and sign up for this with me. It's amazing how much of an impact this website has made on my personal, real life. I've had people on this website help me out in my real life. The last time I did this someone contacted me and sent me a couple of cases of protein shakes for after workouts, and is offering to do it again. I've had people spend hours trying to explain, and help me train to achieve my goals. I've had people offer to get together with me to show me how to do things. Yeah, don't doubt for a second that I'm blessed. This place is pretty ****ing special. |
I've never created a group on Facebook so I'll learn as I go. I think you can request to join as it's not just open. I've added a couple of you that I'm already friends with on Facebook.

Do you have a plan of attack on the FB group, Nuts?
Like maybe weigh-ins, updates, etc? I was down nearly 12lbs, but a couple of visits back home really ****ed me. I'm down down 7-8lbs, which is a start, but nowhere close to where I want to be. |
