there is a misconception about eating less that i see in this thread. you need to eat more often, but smaller portions. eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day and your metabolism will speed up. no dairy, it retains too much water. cut back on carbs, in fact none after 6. if you do eat pasta, eat whole wheat. rice and steamed vegetables are your friends. a nice salad with italian tuna and hot peppers is my favorite. sticking to a diet is not an easy task, but if you want to lose weight you need to do it, along with hitting the gym. cardio and diet are the two main ingredients to losing weight, but make sure you get enough protein so that you're not burning lean muscle instead of fat...

anyways, i started in Dec. I'm down to 220 from close to 270. still need to firm up a bit but otherwise, i'm feeling pretty good.

I think I'm going to end up weighing in as my last post. 204 for the contest, for a total of 14 lbs, but more importantly 46 lbs off since last April.. To the winner, Congrats and catch a large on your hard earned pluggage Great Work!

60 % of the time, it works every time.

Well final weigh in for me is 190 ...down 10lbs from 200. I wont lie I had a winter to die for and I yes I lived it up (thus causing the weight loss agenda to be moved to the back burner)

Oh well....10 pounds is 10 pounds so I will take it for now and keep trying....


Good luck to those in the running and congradulations!

Simplify.......

Is there a consilation prize for least amount of poundage dropped? My scale laughed at me again this morning. 240 for a total of -3.

No discipline whatsoever. Perhaps a hypnotist may help.
Congrats to all with great success and I hope the winner catches large on my entry fee...

OK, i've weighed in.

2....1......2


win or loose, this has been a great experience, and I weigh less than I have in 10 years. I am going to try like hell to keep it off. I actually plan on loosing another 10 lbs., but the motivation to keep dieting will be tough now that the contest is over.

Start: 271 lbs
Finish: 212 lbs
Lbs lost: 59 lbs
% lost: 21.8%

Thanks for the motivation, guys.

Zac

Thanks eb. I started 1/2/08. I was in Wakefield today and should have stopped by, you should see me, I am swimming in my old clothes.

I hope to lose another 12 by 6/1, then I will just go on maintenance diet, approx 2000 kCal/day, but keep exercising. Through the diet I have been on around 1200 kCal/day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. If I went bad and did a 2000 day, i would cut back and do an 800 day the next day.

basically it is 200 cal breakfast, 300 cal lunch, 500 cal dinner and two 100 cal snacks any time. Or sometimes a 600 cal dinner and one snack. And as much lettuce, celery & carrots as I wanted whenever.

Sorry for being so late with this...here are the plugs from the Challenge.

Zacs and Scone, work out who gets what and I will get them out to you ASAP.....as in this week.


Fairest way would be to have Zacs pick one then Scone then Zacs and so on....and after Scone has his 3 the rest go to Zacs,
