If you adhere to these rules, in the first 90 days you'll lose probably at least 100 lbs.

1. Strict 65% Fat - 30% Protein - 5% (or less) Carbs (by calorie)

2. Less than 20 g Net Carbs a day (Total Carbs minus Fiber)

3. Start out at 2000 Net Calories a day (Food minus exercise) and within 2 weeks get down to 1500 Net Calories a day.

4. No Sugar, Bread, Potatoes, Pasta, Rice, Fruit, Milk, Soda

If you can do all that, you'll be down 100 in your first 90 days.

seriously, what about diet soda?
last summer, i cut out ALL carbs. i was a nasty little cabletech for that month. then i gradually added around 15-30 total carbs a meal. i was around 235. i went in for knee surgery in late october and was right @ 200.
the surgery kicked my ass (and i sat on said ass, a lot). probably gained back 20. i'm back to 210, with a total goal around 190.

most of my fat is muscle, so you know.

Well you wouldn't lose 100, but Flop has a lot more to lose...

In 90 Days I lost about 50 lbs.

With some Snyders of Hanover Pretzel nibblers.

Flopnuts. In in with ya man.

I started a year and half ago and lost 85 lbs. Last month or so, I havent been as strict on my food. Im still working out, too. I havent lost any Lbs in about a month and half, but I thankfully I have not gained any though,

I was at 287 at 5'2 (A short, round mofo!) and now am around 200.

I think I have the maintain part down, but I need to lose about 30 more and muscle up.

I need a kick in the arse and posting here helped me so much, like it did for you, Im back in with you, and good luck sir!!

LETS DO THIS!

Yes.

If you want a lifestyle idea, I can tell you what works for me (keeping in mind that the most overweight I've ever been is maybe 20-25 pounds).

I eat a Kashi granola bar for breakfast and have a couple of walnuts around 10:00. Costco sells huge bags of them for cheap, and they are delicious. I go out for lunch every day just like I always have (and this plus beer is why I pack on the pounds to begin with), but I only eat half of my meal. I then eat the rest of the meal for dinner, and I'm all set. I might have a small snack in the evening, but I try not to get carried away. Even if I do get carried away once in a while, that's nothing compared to eating the equivalent of one large meal total for lunch and dinner instead of two.

The key for me really is portion control. I can eat an enormous amount of food when I let myself go. The more I eat one day, the more I can eat (and want to eat) the next day. If I can just go two days of eating small meals, my stomach shrinks down to a fraction of it's previous size. Then, I can't even fathom eating a full restaurant meal.

Kick ass fellas. Best of luck to all who are looking for a thinner lyfestyle.
