I'm going for being more consistent with my workouts, over the summer I got pretty lax, especially with trips and my AC not really doing a great job keeping up with the 110 degree days. Lost 4 lbs already just this week. I don't have too much to lose though. Good luck guys/gals!

"Bob" Dobbs · 08-27-2012, 07:03 PM

My deal is I just haven't felt like eating for the last few days... so I haven't. That can't be good, though.

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!

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

So, I found myself wanting to eat bullshit today. I ate a cup of popcorn at work, but that's all I've had outside of 2% milk in my coffee. I busted my ass this morning, and was just sitting here jonesing for a burger from the diner down the street where my BIL works. He was out of smokes and I decided to take him some.

Got my car to the top of the lot, and said **** this, turned around and parked. Huffed the steps to drop my keys off and grab my mp3 player and walked up there. Branson is hilly as a mother****er, and I think it's all uphill! In any case, I got up there and gave him his smokes, took a deep breath of that wonderful smelling hamburger meat cooking, and walked out.

I walked another 30 minutes and took the long way home. I'm ****ing beat! I'm pretty much carrying Buck on my back everywhere I go. Can't believe I let this happen...Oh well, here we go! Now, what to have for lunch? I'll ponder that until sometime around dinner.

Go eat a couple of cucumbers and drink a liter of water. You'll be stuffed.

Good idea.

Frosty · 08-28-2012, 12:54 PM

I think I would like to get in on this. Some public accountability might help get me over the hump of perpetually restarting.

I've been maintaining a 30 lb loss for 14 years now but my body seems to love to stay at the current 200 lbs, which is still a little too heavy. My clothes seem to fit best and I feel best around 170 - 175.

Two years ago, I got down to 169 lbs doing zero carb. It worked great for a while but I ended up nuking my thyroid in the process (super cold all of the time, zero energy and started regaining weight even though the diet didn't change). I went back to a mixed diet and ended up gorging on all of the stuff I hadn't gotten to eat in a while. I ended up regaining right back to 200 lbs.

I have found that I can maintain like a mfer on a mixed diet but can't lose for shit. I am thinking of going back to very low carb to lose but mix in some refeeds and diet breaks to keep the thyroid happy this time.

The problem is getting started. I keep planning it, starting it, then stopping after a couple of days for "one last splurge" which derails me for a couple of weeks before I restart again.

I have a (probably stupid) question about the Facebook group - would posts there show up on my wall?

It's a closed group, so I don't think your friends would see it, however, if they do, I don't have a problem changing it to a secret group, the problem I had was people being able to click the link and sign up.

Started day one of c25k this morning. Damn I didn't realize how out of shape I had gotten.
The real change will have to happen in the kitchen as my eating habits have been crap. Oh and water, must drink more water.

keg in kc · 08-28-2012, 01:29 PM

Sorry to hear you had a bit of a relapse flop. Stay with it. You've done it before. You can do it again. Just try to focus on changing your life from now on, and not just hitting a certain point where you'll be satisfied with what you've done. Permanent change, versus a temporary goal. I say that not to lecture, but because that's always the struggle for me. I stop and I start, I take one step forward and two back. Year after year after year...

So what I'm saying is that the january 1st goal is great. But also put some focus on changing you forever. Never settle.

Bit on me without getting too far into it: I'm just about to drop below 200 pounds for the first time since the mid 90s. My diet (meaning my eating habits) still isn't quite what it needs to be, but I've shed 30 pounds since last July 4th, 20 pounds since early February this year, and about 10 pounds since July 4th this year. My weight yesterday morning was 200.4 pounds, and I think by October 1 I should be settled somewhere between 195 and 200. What I really have to work on now is toning my midsection (I'm 6'0 but have a 41" waist - this is where my diet's a problem...) but all-in-all I'm pretty happy with how things are going. I'm in better shape than I've probably been in 20 years. I hurt my knee at the beach in late June, but I've been able to start running again recently. Hope to be able to handle a steady (slow) 2 miles in the next week. And I've been biking my ass off. I'm about to hit 1,500 miles for the year, my pace is generally around or above 15 mph (compared to 13-14 last year). And a couple of days ago I managed 40 miles in just under 2 hours and 45 minutes (I did take a break of about 10 minutes right around 30 miles, so it was closer to 3 hours total time), which was a personal best.

I have a feeling we'll see you here in january telling a similar story. I know you can do it.
