BigFish Physical!
So I go see the Doctor 2 weeks ago yesterday for a physical....its a new doctor so I have to meet him and I need a physical anyway! He tells me I need to lose 40 pounds to be considered over weight!?  Yup! 304 pounds and he says technically I am considered obice! OK....that said I decide to cut out all of the donuts, cakes, cookies, brownies, candy, soda.....all the junk! The only vice I will keep is my coffee with all the cream in it and I cut that down to 2 cups a day! Cold turkey I have not had a donut, a cookie, a brownie, cake or pastry in 15 days......nothing sweet at all....just been drinking lots of water, eating apples, peaches, carrots, celery, watermelon.....cutting my enormous portions down! When I get a hankerin' for a snack my go to is alot of celery sticks dipped in peanut butter....that does the trick but keeping myself full of water helps alot! Not sure if I have lost any weight yet but I can't see how I haven't! My goal is to get to 275 pounds before fishing season ends! 
Wish me luck!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Soup...
I lost 35 pounds since the 1st of the year by just eating soup for lunch instead of going out to eat. Also eating 1 bowl of cereal every morning.
My goal is to get down to 220 by ...when ever

Each year my buddies and I have a bet to see who can lose the most weight, relative to our starting weight, know as the "Fat Bastard Challenge". Having cut out the junk and not really changing exercise etc., I dropped ~ 15 lbs, and have kept if off. Watching the 'SuperSize Me' documentary is also a good motivator. Good luck.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

smaller portions many times a day. calorie intake of less than 1500 will cut weight. 1 gallon of water per day. (yes a gallon) when your body is fully hydrated or over hydrated your organs do what they are supposed to instead of storing fat etc ect.
last year i had a regiment of
bagel with i can't believe its not butter for breakfast w/coffee
fruit mid morning
soup for lunch
fruit mid afternoon
small bag of no fat pretzels around 4
healthy choice microwave dinner (not lunch portion)
fat free vanilla frozen yogurt for dessert
all the while drinking LOTS of water.
3 months = little over 30lbs.... got easier with each week and its only 3 months. (unless you want to do more)
trick is to stay active afterwards and not to go back to old habits.

I have to lose weight as well, probably about 40-50lbs... I did a lot of up-and-down stuff for a few years... up 20, down 50, up 40.. I finally talked to a nutritionist and I am going to take part in a program at the Y... Some of the the things he mentioned were very interesting. For instance, for someone my size, I should be taking in 3800-4200 calories a day (6'5"), depending on my lifestyle a little bit too. He said that simply eating less won't get me too far, since my body "needs energy to burn fat." But the 3800-4200 calories will obviously be of the "good" variety, I am guessing... fruit, veggies, lots of fiber etc. For the course, I know that you have to keep track of everything you eat, on a software program, and also how much you work out. It then will tell you what you need to do based on your input. The biggest thing he stressed was that it's all about making minor eating changes as you go, since making drastic changes would be considered a "diet," and "95% of all diets fail." I'll let you know how things turn out with the course...

From someone who's father was almost obese and doing MUCH better now (and still sailing harder and fishing harder than most people my age) congrats man.
Getting some exercise and eating right you'll feel better both mentally and physically.
Clementines and Tangerines are great snacks too.... if ya get good at it you can strip the peel in one piece. |

So ....if you're not eating all that stuff, what're you doing with it ? If you want I can pick it up and take it away for you.  Yeah, right, just what I need, but they are gooood!  |

That and exercise seems to work for most people...it worked for me back some time ago...
They difficult part is keeping the lifestyle modifications running...very easy to fall off the wagon.
