damn yesterday i messed up. my body was feeling kinda sore so i decided i was going to take 2 advils so i can continue my weight lifting without much problems. well i took 2 pills and then went ahead with my work out. i felt like complete shit the whole way though and even a little light headed. it turns out i took 2 benadryls instead of 2 advils and those damn pills made me really drowsy. don't know how i made that mistake but i won't be doing that again. lol

Good luck.
Guess I should put myself out there as well
9/21/2010: 296lbs 28 years old.
my goal weight is 160 - 170 with a 32-34 inch waist.
i did run/power walked on a treadmill today for an hour. If it wasn't for dance music i am not sure i could do it. :lol
Goddammit do I feel guilty reading through this! Was back on my low carb diet up until about a month ago when school started. It's really hard to maintain a low carb lifestyle on campus so I've just been eating whatever the hell I feel like (usually pizza at the cafeteria) and I've gained back 5 lbs. After losing 45 lbs total though, and only having about 20 lbs more to reach my goal, I feel like I can't give up here. I've dreamed of being a healthy weight my entire life, and I'm closer to that goal now than I ever have before. But man I didn't realize it would be so hard at college. Maybe I'll look more into this warrior diet thing, that sounds interesting/promising. I would like to be at 175 or 180 by the end of the year (am at 200 now, up from 195 at the end of summer)
Also great job to everyone else. Your successes are incredibly motivating

Yep, no worries EZ, we all have those days or weeks, it can't be helped if you wanna stay sane. I've lost 70 pounds and I still pigged out on some KFC/Popeyes that I craved (different days) a few weeks ago. As long as you put in the extra work to deal with it, it's all good in the end.

Haha, yea I have had some EPIC cheat meals/days. >10k calories easily. It does set me back 2-3 weeks. But it also helps me refocus. You guys are stronger than me.

Appologies in advance...I have no before after pics 
I was at a family party and people were talking about that HCG Diet (My wife did it and lost 40+ lbs) and I was saying how easy it looked so they called my bluff and dared me to go on it.....so I did.
First off I am a big guy, 6'3" 250+ lbs average but I don't look fat other than occasionally having a bit of a belly. Most of me is quite lean. In fact when I told people I was dieting, 90% asked "why??"
Anyway....
Start Weight : 258.8 lbs
Diet : HG Injections + scary low calorie and very strick food choices (google it!)
Exercise : Zero, not really allowed.
Final weight after first phase : 231.2
So in 29 days I lost 27.6 lbs of pure fat.
I feel great, I look much healthier (more muscle showing without the padding I obviously had).
Moral of the story? Just because I didn't look fat, or feel fat, didn't mean I didn't have a lot of fat to lose. I still look similar, just more defined.
Just thought I would share.

Taking gonadotropic hormones for weight loss seems completely unnecessary. If you were already going super low calorie, why not just exercise instead of potentially injecting unneeded hormones into your body?

I love working out and keeping myself healthy.
At my heaviest I could devour a whole pizza pie if I honestly tried and not feel guilty at all, but now the thought of a greasy pizza slice has my stomach in knots! :lol Looking to be at least around 210 by my birthday and hit onderland/199 before the end of the year. I'm glad to have reached 221 even, and there's no stoppin' me.

Good job T-Matt, what sorta exercise were you doing? I'm 5'9 and down to 172, but I'm trying to hit 160. Any tips for those last 12 pounds or so. I'm currently eating fairly well. Turkey, chicken, tuna, whole wheat when I have bread, etc. I'm also walking/jogging for two hours a day. Once around my lunch hour and one right after work.

This Summer have been going up and down in my weight due to my craving for fast food...
I have stopped with the fast food gorging and have limited my self to a bowl of oats in the morning followed by raw grapefruit juice as a after breakfast snack. Lunch is cabbage soup with other veggies, then I have a protein shake then more soup then I take some casein before bed...
I am not a huge meat eater, and I dislike chicken breast... I love the dark meat of chicken though. But I am not eating any meat in this diet, but I do have whey and casein. I weight lift three times a week and try to do cardio everyday and so far I have lost about 8lbs, I assume at least 6 of that is water weight, and I have done this for a week so far.
Think this is a good enough diet for cutting? I cant imagine I am taking in more than 1500 calories... I am 5'8 and weight about 194
I also have been taking a multivitamin, along with cinnamon pills and L-carnitine

teh_pwn had mentioned an earlier study I think it was.. That specifically talks about as your body fat percentage heads down and your metabolism rises (really talking about fitness here), that your body definitely seems to be more resilient to bad food. Not impervious, but a holiday meal here or carb load there seems to have less of an effect on the body as opposed to someone with more fat and a much lower metabolism. It's not a lifetime supply of get out of jail free cards, but it is an occasional one that let's our bodies get away with the infrequent binge.
much like weight loss and fitness is a long term lifestyle change, the weight gain and fat increase was usually also a long term lifestyle change. just like you can't shed unwanted pounds by running for 3 hours over the course of a single day, you aren't going to put all of the weight back on binging on a holiday meal.. even when the weight shows up on the scale that night or the next morning.. over the next few days your body will work itself out.

Usually I eat every 3 hours or so.
I ate something like this over the course of a day:
2 Old Fashioned Chocolate Donuts
3 Apple Fritters (pretty big)
1 Package of Milano Double Chocolate Cookies
1 Package of Soft Cookies
A few packages of Twinkies
A 9oz bag of Kettle Chips
2 Pints of Ben and Jerry's Ice cream
2 Domino's 5 Dollar 1 topping Medium Pizzas, Sausage and Pepperoni
Something like that.
This is literally only 2-3 times a year though.

AceBandage said:
I actually found it easier to diet once I moved onto college. Both my parents and most of my siblings are the type of people that can eat anything and stay relatively skinny, and the foods around the house certainly reflected that. I unfortunately didn't inherit that ability, so it was a blessing to finally be able to control what's in the kitchen at all times.

The problem with my was that I lived in an on campus housing unit with a group of Idians who left the place a pigsty.
Impossible to cook anything, so I went to the campus restaurant, and it was just so easy to get the greasy good food.

I dunno about you guys but after a while of dieting, food just doesn't seem to appeal to me anymore. I find myself being repulsed by it. They very fact that I eat 800calories a day and maybe 75carbs doesn't help. I might have an eating disorder soon. Meal plan goes something like this
Morning
3 egg whites omelette
Banana
Kellogs chewy bar
Lunch
Nothing most of the time, sometimes I'll eat a low sodium ham sandwich, with diet bread (40 cal a slice) plum or grapes
Dinner
Fish (cod) or a pork chop with veggie mix (brocolli,peas,carrots,corn, 1cup)
Night
Water bottle x4 (not including the water I drink during the day)

I know, last month clocked in at 15 pounds weight loss. Such rapid weightloss in succession is neither good for the body or your daily functions. I'm going to the doctor this month, see if they can fix me up with a plan.
You're seriously depriving your body(and your mind, too).Tears For Fears said:
And if you know you're heading down a bad path, then fix it. Just like going on a diet requires you to force yourself NOT to eat so much(or so much bad stuff), you obviously need to force yourself TO eat at this point.
Maybe go out and eat something really delicious and unhealthy to remind yourself that food can be very good tasting. Go out with some friends and eat some pizza and drink some beer or something. You seem to be on a crash diet, and what you really want is more of a lifestyle change, which should include good tasting stuff every once in a while.
Or try messing with some new recipes. Personally, I look forward to my meals throughout the day. I look forward to working out and coming home and plopping my chicken breast on my George Foreman grill that I've left marinating overnight in some teriyaki sauce. Or cooking up a filet of salmon and dusting it with some Adobo seasoning.
Food can, and should, still be enjoyed, even on a diet. And there's nothing wrong with eating purely for the nourishment, but you're not even doing that.

My exercise was mostly running for 50-60mins a day, couple hundred push ups spaced out in the day and a couple hundred situps spaced out. Maybe try doing some pushups and sit ups right when you wake up in the morning before doing anything else just to get you started. Just keep it in your mind that you'll get to your goal if you just keep with it and stay positive.
