Dieting again.

[stray]

It's okay, Lantyssa.  It could be the best song ever and I would probably dis it because it was a Eurovision Song Contest winner.  Regardless, I love it when people admit to liking something that everyone else will mock them for... you and Walking on Sunshine, me and Big Brother, Schildy and Affliction clothing... more people should do it!  We have CHARACTER! 

I watch the NBA, love Steven Seagal movies, have a PS3, and I use Macs. I'm ready for ridicule!

In the "real world", I only get shit for drinking michelob ultra light.

[edit] On a second thought, I'll withhold the greatest reason to ridicule me. 

[Reg]

Hmm, maybe you're right. My character is feeling kind of buff these days!

[dannyBstyle]

i fucking hate fat people

You probably don't belong here then.  There are tons of fat fucks on this site who could wither your nuts just by thinking it.  Run while you still have half a brain, sunshine.  Well, I looked at your website, it's probably too late to save either half of your brain.

i fucking hate faggots

[Lantyssa]

Feel the withering.

Where'd he go?

[schild]

Just ignore him, he'll go away.

[MrHat]

OMG, I might be able to do an actual pull up.  WTF.  That only took like 2 weeks.

[SuperPopTart]

Okay so I'm reading back and the diet doesn't seem so bad - food wise. Are you still on it and how is it going?

E d i t

[schild]

I'm off it. I stopped at 90 lbs lost.

[slog]

I'm off it. I stopped at 90 lbs lost.

So it's two weeks later.  What are you at now?

[Nevermore]

He's at 150 lbs lost now.  He really shouldn't have pissed off that old Gypsy man.

[schild]

I haven't been on the diet. I had surgery last week and the week before that. Well let's put it this way, I don't have a job and I like sandwiches. Have I gained any weight? No. But I have 8 staples in my gut too. So I can't work out. In fact, I can't work out for 3 weeks. I'm pretty much at the exact same thing, but depending on the day of the week (read, water retention or bloated or heavy food, whatever) I'm at +/- 2-3 lbs.

[LK]

Sitting pretty at 200 lbs, down from 245.  Feels like my weight loss is speeding up over the last two weeks.  I think I lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks.  I'm also graduating to real push-ups with Perfect Push-up, having done two 20-day rotations on my knees.  The progress has been stellar.  I'm taking a two day break from dieting, though still working out, then I'm going to go back to it and try and get below 180.  If you look at trying to do push-ups like a video game, going for that personal high score, it's really motivating! The fact there is equipment involved sort of helps.

At some point you want to start measuring your % body fat. 

[Teleku]

Yeah, thats actually been the main scale for me.  I have actually lost about 30 pounds since I first started this, but I've also dropped my body fat % about 5% (want to do better, need to do more cardio).  I'm doing a fair amount of weight lifting and trying to take in a lot of protein, so thats going to keep my weight from dropping as fast.

[MrHat]

Congrats to all then.

I'm down to 191 from 232 since Jan.  Just eating less/more often and lifting 2-3 times a week.  Try and cardio a bit, but I've been slacking there.

[Jeff Kelly]

Well since this is beginning to turn into a real dieting thread I'll chip in.

I have lost 22 Pounds in the last 9 weeeks and am now at 187 This amounts to around 1 Kilogram per week. Now I have to rebuy all of my clothes because none of them fit me any more.

I diet using Weight Watchers (ridicule me if you want)

For me most of my previous dieting tries have failed because I had no clear understanding about how much and what I could eat and still lose weight. Especially when you factor in that you have a bigger appetite when working out.

This is where Weight Watchers helps.

[stray]

Nothing wrong with weight watchers (grats btw...to everyone). Seems pretty expensive though.

[LK]

I use Nutrisystem.  I've found after being on that system that I can't tolerate the high caloric, normal food that is available in America.  I joke to myself that they put something addictive in the Nutrisystem to get me to keep buying there stuff, but I really do not feel like eating the stuff I normally get.  I eat less as a LIFESTYLE change and that's just so mighty to realize right there.

We had a party last night where there was some pretty bad stuff being used for snacks.  I was fine eating it but woke the next morning nearly ready to vomit.

[voodoolily]

I gave myself a pretty gnarly tummyache with my own rich cooking last night (and a bottle of wine). After eating nothing but veg (and mostly low GI carbs) and lean protein for a few months, the rich food makes me feel leaden.

[stray]

I just cooked a pizza in the oven, on top of the box. Started to burn, and had a toxic smell a burnt paint in my house. I ate the pizza anyways. I'm probably going to die later.

Just a head's up.

LoL'd I did.

Its about damn time Stray.

P.S.  Can I have some of you people's fat?  I keep accidently skipping dinner and drinking 4+ beers instead.  See I can't eat very early in the morning and I am forced to take a lunch at 12:30 so if I eat a late breakfast because I'm starving to death (the no dinner but 6 beers doesn't help this) at like 1030-1100 I'm not hungry enough to eat proper lunch.  So I eat half a lunch and another half right when or right before I take off for home.  Which means I'm not hungry for dinner until like 8pm-10pm.  Which means I've been drinking on a fairly empty stomach since I got home at 6:30 which means I'm drunk by the time I'm hungry which means I can't be bothered to cook because I'd probably fuck that up, so hell, why not drink more?   Next thing I know I wake up and its time to go to work and I haven't eaten since 5:30 but if I eat anything before 10 I'll get hella sick...

Vicious cycles 4tL?

[Signe]

You don't need our fat.  With all that beer you drink now, in about 10 years a big old pot belly will pop out spontaneously, regardless of the lack of food.   I don't know why they call it a pot belly.  If you gave up beer and only smoked pot, you'd have nothing to worry about in 10 years... at least regarding your tummy.

[stray]

Hoax, I gotta friend just like you. Just a little older. What Signe says is true. You'll get that pot belly eventually... BUT... The rest of you will be decrepit and skinny. Pretty much like an old geezer's body. It's not pretty.

I feel fine... Crashed out for some reason though. Never do that at that time of the day.

Didn't see this thread before today, so a small necro here.

Having been pretty overweight for most of my life (thanks mom and dad for that Pong while I was like 2-3 years old!) I got fed up with low self-esteem on the visual front and started doing something about it last year. I was at nearly 300 pounds last year, had zero stamina nor will to do any physical exercise and ate extremely unhealthy food. Several litres of Coke, chips, chocolates, candy every single day and regular meals next to it. Traveled away from home for three months to get out of the old habit front and worked out and ran every single day (first weeks of running I lost my breath after 100 meters) and had massive cramps in my legs, but kept pushing. After three months I was down to 253 pounds and had lost a big precent of body fat and gained muscle which was starting to get visible.

Now I'm at 220 pounds and have some body fat left and high muscle precentage which is very visible and I've increased my aerobic / cardio workout to 6 days a week and decreased anaerobic to 3 days a week where I was at previously 5 to get rid of the last body fat, but its very tough. Are there any supplements that people have personally experienced and done which could help this process ? Have never used anything except CLA earlier and I've read and heard tons from my quasi-medic friend who is a previous steroid junkie recommended me various stuff, but would like to hear from... Safer sources.

[MrHat]

I don't know about supplements, but it sounds like you're doing awesome dude.

70lbs in one year? That's incredible.  Very proud!

[stray]

Seriously, that freakin' rocks. Even if I am just a stranger, I think you deserve mucho pats on the back!

[Oz]

yeah, but those bitch tits suck.

I'd prefer a big ol' belly over gynacomastia any day.  what really sucks is when you combine beer + pot = big belly and boobies.

[stray]

I'm still holding to the Keith Richards theory that cheese is the most evil thing in the world. Beer, pot, heroin may be OK.

Pretty sure it's the jailbait groupies that keep you young.

Wait.  Wait.  Wait.

Pot will give me breasts and no one bothered to mention this!?!  Damn you War on Drugs!

Complete and utter bollocks.  Throw some studies my way and I can throw more your way.  Still a myth, like most of them.

[Nebu]

There we go.  A thread on man breasts is the third sign of the apocolypse.
