Today I begin counting calories.

The last time I counted cals was about 1979. I went from 210 to 190 LOL :) Yeah I was real fat :) Ahh to have the ideals of a young guy about 22 :) Could have about 2000 cals then I think it was.

This changes everything. The first thing that goes through your head is "slices" have to go at 100 cals a pop. Because now I am committed.

Fact I am gonna go throw them out right now AS I have done before. I got honey. I got a few small jubes Ill finish, that should keep from going cold turkey. The last of the red licorice maybe I will keep, maybe I can have 1 a day. See how it goes.

I have thrown stuff before only to buy it again which is really dumb :) but happens. At my size I get HUNGRY sometimes. So start reasonably and dont go cold turkey completely BUT I hate slices. My belly is a "slice" LOLOL.

So after I hit submit THEY are in the garb.

it's 1979



again :)

Excellent to hear! Good for you for starting fresh!

Yes, I'm on a maintenance diet of 1200 calories a day. If I exercise more, I can eat a bit more. This sucks for someone like me who LOVES to cook and loves to eat! But I just need to learn to love to exercise more, I guess... :)

Great song choice, btw.

Thanks a lot. I apprec the info. Glad someone went and dug it up :)

Yeah I hear ya. They say basicly two eggs / day for healthy person BUT then you must also limit cheese, fatty meat ect. SO cholesterol IS for real.

I hear ya man. Fact is my best friend has been telling me I need to lose. And frankly at 55 I know that seriously I am heading the wrong way. I am strong and healthy BUT no man can escape time OR flaunt their diet forever OR carry 300+ forever. I am starting to feel it the last couple years.

I was under 300 a couple years back (299) when I had a chest cold and it is amazing what 10 lbs can do. 300 is a def warning point. Ya cant go much over for the avg Joe that is not an athlete.

I see the writing and that is why I must change. Just being 100% honest but it does no good to lie at this point.

Im pretty fucken out of shape man.

A couple guys called me fat when I was delivering pizzas at 255 in 1995 LOL so yeah.. 6'3 helps BUT 308 is 308.

No more fried eggs :) Hardboiled only. Hot mustard :thumbsup Then one a day maybe or no yolks but as Artie Lange once said "eat the yolk" so.. one a day :)

Hey that is cheaper and easier to do :thumbsup

the road is long
with many a winding turn
that leads us to who
knows where



but I'm strong
strong enough to carry him
he ain't heavy, he's my brother
so on we go

thanks :)

oh well, it wont be ez, 2500 cals seems like a lot but prob isnt once we get going

But after being fat since about the early 90s it is exciting cause I know it will work and any effort is good.

To everything there is a season. And I hear the roosters crowing. I hear my fellow man's warning.

the long and winding road



that leads to your door

I don't eat any of that stuff.

I try to live by the rule ~ if it has more than one ingredient on the package, you probably shouldn't eat it.

Thanks :) Man 1200 cals aint much :) So I have no excuses :)

Anyhow thanks again. I dont want to embarrass you by saying what you did for me but maybe you know :thumbsup

Ive been staring at the mountain I need to climb. This thread is gathering gear and you are the one who said, "go for it".

Anyhow.. I get too emotional sometimes :)

I'm real glad someone else likes my songs :)

I like to take the music with me and I encourage all of you to post your favs as well in any thread of mine :)

Mustard over mayo is becoming clearer :) altho I have a lil more breathing room. It is the pigging out b4 bed as I say that got me here. Was fun but cost a lot really.

If I take a walk I can have almost 2600 cals maintainance. 2460 is for 100% sedentary. So I will take the walk :)

LOLOL :thumbsup

It could get rocky :)

But prob not :)

Starting to get just a tinch hungry :helpme :1orglaugh

I missed you man. Good to see ya in my thread where you belong :) :thumbsup

Wow! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Hmm that seems like a darn good rule. But that is seriously hardcore fitness. And as Captain H will tell ya .. Im prob not at that level of commitment.

Anyhow you are the first zero and THANKS cause it confirms as I thought that ALL of them are a lil shaky.

If ya get a min tell the folks why the chicken has to go. Seriously. Chicken and Beef are prob the only two I feel are somewhat healthy in the list off the top of my head.

Beef has sat fat but lean doesnt have too much. Chicken.. um is ok I guess if it is fresh.

for you (the man)

the man



Courtney in 1984 :)

I didn't realize I said it, but I'm glad it helped! :)

If you're really gung ho or you are the kind of person who likes to see results right away, don't "eat back" your exercise calories. For instance, if you have 2400 calories a day, then walk off 200 of them, only eat 2400 calories that day not 2600. It's not too much harder, and you notice results quicker. That's a key to getting over any plateaus your body will get caught up on.

First rule: don't buy "food" that required a scientist to make it! If your granny couldn't make it at home, don't buy it! It's not very good for you :)

Well I have been meaning to begin but you came along and.. when you said, "WHY do you have this stuff in your house, are you trolling" :) I realized maybe it is time to start. Cause yeah.. ya cant have your cake and eat it to.

So you were the random stranger (I guess you could say) who actually gave a damn and that was the SIGN that this is the time to start :)

GREAT idea! That is very sharp. Those are the kind of tips that help. Good point. REWARD yourself (with more weight loss) for getting your butt in gear.

And the "grandma rule" I already do, due to "budget concerns" LOL So yeah I already cook all main stuff from scratch. Cheapest foods are the best for you (carbs) Veg and protein you have to pay for tho :)

My friend and his wife gave me a huge frozen beef roast when I was out there out of the blue.

Someone up there likes me...

(I think cause I fed them strays at -20 for a couple years hehe)

indeed I really do get by



CaptainHowdy was here :)



THAT is a good sign :thumbsup :)

(good song)
