Fuck, I need to lose some weight

[Libertine]

Just found out that I now weigh exactly 100kg (220 lbs, for all you metrically challenged Americans)

Here's to half a year of veggies, chicken and fish

[Sosa]

I'm trying to lose 20-25 lbs that I have put on in the past year or so. Still down 50 overall but need to get this extra weight back off

[Tom_PM]

I need to lose some too. I havent weighed myself in months, but the view of my toes is in danger of being eclipsed, lol.

[Domain Diva]

I say that every morning sometimes l will eat a small cake then do 20 sit ups doesnt make any difference but it makes me feel less guilty !!

[pornguy]

Damn. I hear you though I am at 190 and thats about 25 to much

[DrChango]

I'm at around 220, but I'm 6'2" and thankfully a fair amount of it is muscle. I do want to 'lean out' a bit before April, so I need to stop eating fast food and intensify my workout regimen. It's just really hard to do when my friends show up with a friggin' pizza and a case of Mountain Dew=/

[John-ACWM]

Big tummy here too...Doing some cardio and more healthy food,guess my body should feel it

[bobby666]

184cm, around 22% body fat right now.

[tranza]

You can do it!

[Reak AGV]

I'm at 65 kilo right now, pounding up to 80 kilo's by the end of next year (muscle not fat) ;-)

[kowalsky]

100kg with 1,84m means that you should lose 20kg at least. Yes, that´s gonna take you 4 or 5 months at least. If you also make some exercises that can be easier. Just do it! I´ll feel good!

Why no pasta after lunch and why no bread? There is nothing wrong with either so long as its wholegrain and you are semi active throughout the day.

It's winter. Everyone packs it on when it's cold out. It's not like you're morbidly obese. Watch your portion sizes and fat content and you'll be fine.

[DannysReviews|com]

People need to actually get active in addition to eating right.

[chelis]

Start sweating, that's the one and only solution...

Eh, the 184 cm was in the same post as the 22% body fat thing.

100 kg with 22% body fat is 78kg with 0% body fat. 80kg is under 3% body fat, which is life-threatening if maintained for longer periods of time.

BMI doesn't work if you have more muscle mass than the average person

I've been on one of those LowCarb-HighFat diets since November and so far I've lost 13 kilo/28.6pounds.

This must be the most easy way to lose weight. You can eat really good food and still lose weight.

[Bojangles]

Good luck.

How long did it take you before you started dropping? I've been on one of them for a couple of weeks now and nothing. In fact, I think I've gained a bit of weight too!

my problem is i can only eat so much god damn chicken :/

I started losing weight from day 1. Are you sure you're not eating too much carbs? Try to only eat meat, eggs and fat. Cut down on cream, cheese and other milk-products for a few day and see how it goes.

This is a great source of info:

I really think that is one of the big problems with people and their weight.
Rarely if ever is there a reason to cut out any normal food, by normal I mean fairly natural and does not need to be ran through machines to eat it.
Fat does not make you fat, nor does red meat, cheese, pasta, or anything else along those lines. Just go with foods where you know the ingredients and typically do not eat out. Follow that very simple bit of advice and of course understand portion control and weight is rarely an issue. Hell as step 1 for anyone who wanted to loose weight I would just tell them to buy smaller plates and bowls.

What you eat can still taste fantastic and be good for you. Hell you can even splurge often and still barely rack up the calories if you know what your cooking and you make your calories count. Plus if you get into the hang of it, it just becomes the way you live your life and you no longer end up with such weight issues.

[BusterBunny]

if it makes you feel better i have gained 15lbs in 3 weeks...in all honesty its easier to lose than gain

[Ryan St. Germain]

Cutting out soft drinks is a really easy start. Cutting back on your alcohol intake can help too (because of the sugar and/or carbs in most of it). Drink water.
The fad diets may have great short term results, but just remember that unless you plan on changing eating habits for the long haul, you might as well not throw out the old pants. Don't recondition your body to not accept a certain food group and then think that it won't come back to haunt you.

[StaceyJo]

Have banana diet.

are u doing an "atkins" esque thing? set amount of carbs for a set amount of time complete with pounding migraines and a lack of energy?

I generally eat low carb (I eat a small bowl of cereal like special k or cheerios in the morning, one piece of fruit daily and only about one piece of whole wheat bread a day-that's what I eat daily in carbs) but I'm not on an official low carb diet that tells you to eat under this many carbs

but those programs USUALLY have a pretty good short term effect but in the long term everyone gains back...no one can keep it up


Why it's not working for you seems odd....
Questions:
What was your diet like before you started. What did you generally eat (no cheating) and about how many calories did you consume daily? What was your exercise program like?

What about now?
I got my diet tips from an ex-professional soccer player in glorious shape at the age of 40 and I don't mind helping if you have questions...

studies have shown that if you use a larger plate YOU WILL EAT MORE. True story....

Americans also have a buffet mentality: supersize me, eat everything that's given, get the "better deal" with more food at only pennies more, costco

START EATING ON SMALLER PLATES!
If you eat out ask the waiter to wrap half of it immediately.
If you don't see it, you won't eat it.

Why is there a woman reaching towards a monkey's genitals in your avatar?

[Chicks Delivery]

I'm trying to lose some weight as well....

[J. Falcon]

I lost some weight on my honeymoon. Did a lot (and yes I do mean a lot) of hiking under the hot fucking sun. It was too hot to eat any heavy shit for lunch so I had salads and fish. Drank practically no booze at all, ate very little bread. Most night I would eat a big dinner but it would mostly be fish.

That woman is me and I was giving him some food, though it looks like I'm fondling his monkey balls.

agreed .. I started weight lose just before Halloween, I weighed roughly around 220 @ 5'8", 36 inch waist .. I'm now down to 180 and 33 inch waist. Followed a high protein diet (basicly eat nothing but meat (5 ounces) and greens, with a cheat day every 5th day. ONLY) and 4 day weight training. with 2 days of cardio (Heavey Bag; Boxing) ...

So far so good .. i'm loving the new body!

i dont preach to meat eaters, but you could try going full veg instead of eating chicken and fish.

I stopped eating red meat for 2 years and then realized as long as you still eat dairy, fish, and birds, youre not doing it the full way, so I cut out all flesh. And its been great.

i wont be in this thread arguing about vegetarianism, I simply offering my opinion on what has worked for me and my wife. I purchased numerous books regarding eating and health and have, over the course of 4 years, gone from daily meat eater to no meat.

anyway, posting this stuff is akin to saying "mac is better"

i really dont care to fight any of you about this, but, fact is, I am healthy, in shape, full of energy and dont weigh more than 160ish (even after Thanksgiving) and I wont argue with people who have eating problems trying to tell me vegetarians are bad, lol

[blowme_DL]

jogging will do the trick :D no need for some excercise machine
just focus and self decipline :D

[LA Crew]

Cut out the soda and sugar juices and replace it with water, and you'll be suprised on how many pounds you can lose.. its a lot. Also try some light exercise.

Then you're doing it wrong.

[Brad]

I love the GFY dietitian threads.

I guess I may as well add my two cents.

Portion control and exercise is what is going to help you loose weight. It won't be fast, but will come off if you keep with it. Do heavy weights and high intensity interval cardio (so start with 30sec at 90% and 90sec active rest) to start. Going 45 minutes at 60% teaches your body to be more efficient not to burn fat. Screw these fad diets and such. You will never keep the weight off with those. You need to change your lifestyle.

[nation-x]

start smoking... it helps!
