Good news man!

Thus a new age was heralded in,

the age of Tonylessthan300.

First thanks to everyone for your nice posts :)

I was 466 lbs and I came down with a terrible yeast rash under my stomach.It felt like a paper cut from one hip to the other. I had lost and gained 100's of pounds before but this time I wanted it to be a one way street.So I really looked at what I had done in the past and I was really honest with myself.

At 466 lbs I wasnt going to exercise 7 days a week. I knew myself if I made grand announcements, I would do it for awhile and then miss a day then it was fuck it.In fact I didnt start to exercise til I hit 140 lbs lost. Just losing the weight put me in much better shape.
Also I couldnt be the same person when I was done with this. If someone has more than 75 lbs to lose. Its not about food its about emotions before something bothered me I smiled and then ate a pizza. I confront things now and being liked isnt the most important thing in the world.
I looked at trigger foods, foods that when I ate them gave me an empty pit never full feeling and will never ate them again. I see them as poison, so it doesn't matter whats being eaten in front of because if its crap. I really see it as poison. So no sugar, ice cream ,cake and starches. Fruit is ok but I have to watch when I eat like first thing in the morning brings that empty pit feeling so I don't it. Also I dont eat wanna be ice cream,cake etc. Thin tastes better.
No surgery, in fact after the first 30 days its been pretty easy because I decided what I really wanted. Most people don't do that, they think they have but they haven't and that's why the weight comes and goes.
For exercise I do russian kettlebell training, it works for me quick, intense done.

hey tony,

what kettlebell program are you using? i would like to try that.

When mandy gets up I will have her take a pic.

He's done it naturally. I've been watching him melt away month after month.

Congrats man. But don't get rid of the nic just yet. The way I've been eating lately, I may need to get it from you. :-)

I do snatches and swings 3x week. Periodically I get a one on one session with a certified RKC,she is in atl. She checks my form and we talk about raising intensity or going heavier on the bell. I do that once every 6 months so far.

I thought "404" was for your area code of ATL ? but congrats on losing the weight!! you likely added another 10+ years to your life as well :thumbsup

That's awesome, yes just read his post

six month ago i had 218lbs now i`m so fine on 169 lbs

congrats!!!

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?
