Anyone want in my diet support group?

[Doug]

I can eat a whole papa murphy's take n bake family size pizza all by myself.

I haven't tried downing there double decker yet. But I'm pretty sure I could if I wanted too...

That's OK, as long as you wash it down with lots of Slimfast.

[Timetopay]

Doug are you the f.ucker with the coin collection sh.it?

[Doug]

Lost 1.5 lbs in week one to tip the scale at 202.9. Been on the wagon too. Miss the burgers but getting used to fruit.

[2Pac]

I need to lose 30 pounds, but I need to get completely shit-faced drunk once a week, too.

[buztah]

John,

I was 245 in July and am 183 today. Size 44 pants to size 33 regular fit jeans. Loving the new me. I have one cheat day a week too.

Here's how I did it. Lift heavy (whatever that means for you) Monday, Wed, and Fri, focusing on Squats, benchpress, deadlifts, barbel rows, overhead presses and chinups/pullups. Phuck curls -- they're a waste of time. I did these with a 5x5 set/rep scheme. Do sprints, Tues and Thursd. Jog on Saturday. Sunday off.

Track your claories. Eat below maintenance. Multipy your bodyweight x 12 to get your total allowed calories per day and eat accordingly, adjusting downward as you go.

See a doc first to make sure this is cool for you but it worked really well for me.

Sprinting is the way to go.

High intensity Interval training (HIIT).

You won't burn fat while you're doing the sprints, because fat can't be turned into energy that fast, but you'll be burning fat for the next 24 or so hours.

Sprint 6 seconds, jog 10. Do this for 15 minutes every other day, and you will be burning exponentially more fat that someone who does 45 minutes of light running 5 days a week.

Nice job brother

I didn't even know this thread was around. I've been on a diet since 1/31 and have lost 18 pounds myself. Pants are starting to fit looser and mind is a lot sharper.

Good luck to anyone who is trying to lose weight.

[thezbar]

Weight loss has slowed down. Down 3lbs since the years beginning. 20 more to go. I've changed my exercise program to break this barrier. Steady as she goes, 7/2 is d-day.

Great Job!!

I started my wife on a diet - exercise program 11 weeks ago. She was 172.5, currently her weight is 154. A loss of 18.5 pounds and her percent of body fat has dropped from 44% to 39%. Her goal is 105 by Christmas. Oh, by-the-way, she is 5' 0"

[OLGC_Slayer]

I'm 6'1 220, and if i quit smoking, like i said i would, I'll gain 9 lbs in less then 90 days, and exercise ain't an option for me, I'm too lazy.
So John, good luck to you, my azz will just stay fat and out of shape.

I quit smoking at age 26 and put on about 45 lbs in the space of a year. Well, it wasnt all smokings fault, the desk job didnt help much. Back in the day I was athletic, now I get out of breathe walking a couple flights of stairs. Its pretty sad.

[OLGC_Slayer]

Gin and tonic is pretty safe if you dont overdo it.

[aszzzbrokerman]

Nice thread

Why is everyone on this board so ****ing huge? Dudes are like 6'2 225 on average. what the **** did your parents feed you? I wish I had that kind of frame to work with.

5'10 195 33 in waist depending on who's measuring

Trying to get "down" to 180-185 area. Have weighed as much as 235 and as little as 180 in the past couple of years. I usually forget about my weight until I can't tie my shoes without straining. WHich happened to me about a month ago and I find out I weigh 210.

I've tried alot of diets and here's whats worked for me over the years.

1. Total body weight exercises. These are the ones where your whole body shakes when your trying to do the last couple of reps. Someone said curls were a waste but I say not if your standing in the middle of a room and going to failure.

2. High reps. **** low reps if you're fat, they won't help you burn fat. They don't tear up enough muscle to have the effect that higher reps will.

3. stuff myself with high protein food(chicken, tuna, sometimes burgers) around 12 pm. This is after stuffing myself with fruit first thing in the morning. You won't be able to think about food or alcohol for that matter without feeling queazy for the rest of the day.

4. Sprinting definitely works but I say save that for late in your diet because you won't be able to get as much out of it if your too heavy to move fast. Basically if tying your shoes sucks just keep doing those dead lifts and squats until it doesn't anymore. Not only will you have a better workout but this will introduce a new strain on your body that can prevent plateuing.

[picantel]

yah I tried some sprints but then got fined by my city for leaving too many potholes in the middle of the street. damn nosy neighbors.

[thegreatdiatchi]

Was 198lbs, 5'9.75''

Started about 2 months ago eating a healthy diet with alot of protein. Trying to knock down my body fat and tone my muscles. So far so good.

Now I'm 186.5lbs, 5'9.75''

[SBR_John]

Pic, you have lost 20 lbs in 83 fvcking days??? You are not human!!!!!

Seriously, be careful. Thats a whole lot of weight in a short period.

Anyway, I have been trying despite those fvckers at RuthCris. I was 204.4 when I started this thread and 200.8 today. Just had too many bad days.

[robzilla]

6'2.5" 268.8 lbs. Id be happy to be 220 right now. I bet i can lose 40 pounds in 3 months though.

Im 259.8 as of today.

My bro is a general manager at ruthcris. Steaks are not too bad for yah. I have cut out ton of junk food and am on a 2 week hardcore diet ala no junk although I just cheated and got an icecream cone called stairway to heaven at the hardrock hotel in orlando. it is soooo good. Yesterday for some odd reason I decided to meet my wife for lunch and walked there which was a little bit over 4 miles. I also do sprints and lifting and 2 days ago started a 10 day dexatrim max trial to see how it goes. I gained 8 pounds on easter but lost 9 since then and another 1/2 inch off the waist. Will update on April 1st with the newest stats. My goal is 218 in 5 days which is 6 pounds. It may be too much to get.
On a side note I am having a horrible time losing stomach fat and especially that fat that hangs on your side. It is pissing me off to no end. Anyone know of a really kickass exercise to take it off. thanks

[picantel]

Lost some more but my goal was a tad unrealistic. Also, it did not help that we went to disneyworld over the weekend. Nothing beats a BLT from earl of sandwich and that tortilla soup and chicken pesto sandwich from wolfgang puck express at downtown disney. anway, here are current stats:

Starting weight: 262 lbs
Starting waist: 48 in

Current weight: 222 lbs
Current waist: 39 in

Total weight loss: 40 lbs
Total waist loss: 9 in

[picantel]

Everyone give up on this? So quiet here.

Starting Weight: 262 lbs
Starting waist: 48 in

Current weight: 220 lbs
Current waist 37.5 in

Total weight loss: 42 lbs
Total waist loss: 10.5 in

Only lost 2 lbs but I have to consider that I am lifting anywhere from 30-60 minutes 5 times a week, I lost another 1.5 inches from my waist, and my wife says I am starting to show muscles and believe me she would not say it if it were not true as she loves to call me a hipposcottamus and always wants to rub buddhas tummy

[capitalist pig]

I was 5'11" 180lbs, got the flu a couple weeks ago, and am now 5'11" 165lbs, hell of way to drop a 15lbs pounds, but Im going to try to stay under 170lbs now.

later

[picantel]

Back up to 223 lbs and 38 in waist. Not eating junk so it is probably water weight as I am drinking alot of water and upping the lifting. However, those last 23 lbs are not going without a fight so today I started phase 1 of the south beach diet which lasts 2 weeks and is brutal . I will let you guys know how it works with an update next monday and then the monday after that. Bring on the pain baby.

[BeatTheJerk]

5'10" 204lbs ..............

[picantel]

Latest update. Just maintaining now pretty much.

Starting Weight: 262 lbs
Starting waist: 48 in

Current weight: 221 lbs
Current waist 38 in

Total weight loss: 41 lbs
Total waist loss: 10 in

I am coming off a cycle of creatine so hopefully that water bulge will go away. I have some extra strength diet pills coming in the next few days so I will let you know of the results and the product if it works. I measured my arms around a month ago and they came in at 15 inches. I measured yesterday and they have grown an inch to 16 inches so I am feeling pretty pumped up about that. I have not seen much in the way of chest development but still have most of my fat on my frontside. My left trap has a large bulge now but the right trap has nothing(arrghhh). I am seeing a little muscle development in the back but nothing big. Of course, I have only been lifting for like 6 weeks and only heavier for maybe 2-3 weeks tops so I understand it will take time. My wife has been giving me a few compliments which she hates doing so something must be working. Will update again in 2 weeks. I am hoping to lose 5 pounds in that time if my diet pills make it here in time.

[Kellen]

Im 6'1 240. Gonna start eating healthier and try to drop about 20 lbs before the bash time.

[LVHerbie]

I also need to lose some weight... I was in the military about 3 years ago and I'm 5'11" and a half, and weighed 185 pounds when I got out... Last time I weighed myself, about a month ago, I was at 225... (I broke the scale about month ago when I stepped on the plastic face when I got out of the shower... although I don't think my wife believes this... ) I've cut out all fast food from my diet and lost some weight but I still need to lose some more...

I've also told my wife that I would quit smoking in a few weeks (she is getting a new job and wants to be around me as little as possible during this period and told me I can't start till she starts work again...) I smoke like a pack and half a day (for like 10 years now...) so I think this more important then a losing weight right now... honestly, I think if I did both at the same time I would need to be on suicide watch...

[Kellen]

Fast food is my problem, Im always busy during lunch time and only have time to stop and get something. Im also on the road a lot so thats my main source of food.
