It was my area code and my weight when I took it. I had no idea at the time 404 meant something different online. I had people wanting to talk to me about 404 traffic and I had no idea what they were talking about lol

you are too light weight to lift Russian Cattlebell... I will make you a heavy pot with Borscht

great book and a bitch to do.

It could have been worse and area code 420 and they would have been hitting you up for weed instead :)

:thumbsup sounds tasty.....

congratulations Tony299, the best thing is that you just added years to your life :thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

look what you started? gfy is turning into an athletes forum after they saw your thread a few months ago heheheeheheh

which of those books do you recommend? the viking warrior? :thumbsup

it's awesome! i was just thinking how cool it is to see so many people here working hard to get healthy. i hope it's the new trend.

Sounds great!

Congrats Tony! I have been reading your progress on your blog. I must say you an inspiration. Keep up the good work:)

Yes the viking warrior.

buying now, the reviews are stellar! :thumbsup

Congrats. Never knew that the '404' was for your weight.

:thumbsup

You've managed to lose a whole me :)

Congrats! That is more or less exactly how I finally started doing it myself. My exercise is exercise bike and walking mostly. For me 'poisions' were (and are) anything processed or a fast burning carb. When I eat whole foods and exercise the weight comes off - period.

I have been stuck at about 90lbs lost for well over 6 months now. I am glad that I haven't put back on any of those 90lbs but I so very want to finally get to that 100 lost and beyond. I think you just inspired me to kick my ass a bit harder and get to that 100 :)

Honestly, it feels so much better to be able to move with more ease, doesn't it? Last year I climbed up to a glacier on a two hour hike through a mountain in Norway. Before I started losing the weight (a bit over two years ago..I am doing is slowly but it is staying off) I wouldn't have even thought about that.

Awesome for you Tony!!!

Congrats!!!

Your progress HAS to be so much better for your heart!

I always thought it was Tony"404 not found"

good job regardless :-)

That is quite an achievement, Tony. Congrats and keep up the good work

That is huge, congrats.

Congrats to you.

That's very impressive and judging by other posts in this thread, inspirational.

Here's to staying on track to a better, healthier life :thumbsup

that is an amazing feat - congrats and keep going :thumbsup

Tony you should be so very proud of yourself. Dieting for a short period time is one thing. Changing your lifestyle on a permanent basis and keeping with something as long as you have is amazing

Mandy sleeps all day? must be nice !!!!!

Great job Tony!

404 also means file not found, or slang for a clueless person.

congrats on the weight loss :thumbsup

Sarah, not to pry too much... but in the past you have mentioned a medical condition that makes it difficult for you to maintain or lose weight. Have you found a way around this? Do you feel you have to work extra hard to compensate for that condition?

Very nice to outline your methods. You mention,

"So no sugar, ice cream ,cake and starches."

As I look back I also see it is not lack of exercise that makes/keeps one fat, it is what you eat.

Not even so much how much you eat, but what you eat. You pretty much have to go cold turkey or have bare minimum sugar around.

It is more about the liver converting excess blood sugar and glycogen to fat than it is calories.

Ture story. I once gained 10 LBs in one week, The only thing diff in my calories was although I was not eating lightly in other areas but the one thing I did diff that week: Was eat a whole cake, (no frosting) in 48 hours on a Wednesday-Thursday.

On Sunday I step on the scale. 10 LBs. I expected ok maybe a LB. It was converted to fat that week! Had nothing to do with calories. I would have had to consume 35,000 calories in theory to put on 10 LBs.

They say you must consume 3500 cals over and above what you burn to put on a LB. But in reality it doesnt work that way.

I think some of us are truley addicts to sugar at least psychologicly and are also hyper sensitive and put wt on real easy from sugar.

It is what you eat and you named them. Sugar being the worst with starches #2.

All one needs to do is go on the

"don't buy it diet"

But I feel something is going to happen I guess :error if I dont get at least a little sugar of some type. But is there indeed such a thing as just a little poisen as you say.

Cause I have always eaten sugar. I belieived a little could do no harm. It is only say less than 300 calories a day. But it doesnt work that way.

Someone should post a poll as to how much sugar a day do you eat. Would be interesting. I would like to eat none.. for a long while.. someday.. and see what happens. :)

Anyhow, way to go :thumbsup

Looking good Tony! Keep up the good work.

You all just make me smile thank you :)

Congrats :)

and now you can finally see you dick :thumbsup jk

My (it isnt exercise you need) theory was also proven when I worked at Dominos for a few years. I went in thin and came out 6 years later a few over. Very physical job too. You walk all over.

But those "crew pies" there at all times. :) .. forget about it. You eat that you will be fat even if you are Bill Rogers.

I actually gain wt when I exercise. True. I do 2 days yard work say 3 hours each day. Mowing, walking all that. I think at night. NOW, i can have a bit more pizza, a couple more sugar delights.. I'm fucking STARVING :) I gain 2 lbs the next day.

So it is all very tricky. :)

Wow! Congrats Tony!

You look amazing Tony. Congrats on the weight loss. Tell your beautiful wife I said hi. :thumbsup

That's an amazing story, Tony. Congratulations.

sounds like you are doing a great job. Let me add my personal story. Over the past 15 months, I have been very slowly losing weight. I dont even weigh myself. I just look at myself in the mirror and check how comfortable my pants fit.

The hardest part, in my opinion, is to resist your hunger. If you can resist your hunger, then weight loss is almost guaranteed, even without exercising.

My strategy is .... try to stay away from the supermarket. This means --- dont stock up on food (and risk eating it too soon). Only buy the food that you will eat that day (if possible). You will get a little extra exercise by going out (especially walking) to a cheap cafe or cheap restaurant every day to eat (you can buy some take out food there too if you want for dinner). You can order something for delivery but try to order healthy food (which is not so easy). If you do go to the supermarket, only buy what you will eat that day (and night). maybe buy 2 days of food max. The point is to not keep too much tempting food at home. I used to buy only 1 day of food max but now I am buying 2 days of food max.

The most important part of my strategy is ..... keep track of what you eat each day. Dont reduce your food intake too quickly. Your appetite will be too strong and you risk overeating when severe hunger pains kick in.

Every week or every few weeks (whenever you feel capable), slightly reduce the amount which you eat one day. And then eat that way for a few days or weeks until you are comfortable with it and experience no serious hunger pains.

Just continue reducing your food intake every week or two (or month or two) until you are down to the weight you want to be. Slow and steady. In my opinion, better to diet slowly than starve yourself and end up going on a feeding frenzy.

My diet is so slow, I probably only lost 1-2 pounds per month (average) over the past 15 months. May not be the best diet for you but it works for me.

wanted to get Matt Foley in here for some motivation :) but nothing decent embedable
