A quick back story: I've been pretty overweight for most of my life since I was 10 years old. So basically for most of the life I remember. I'm now 20 and am on the borderline between overweight and obese. I haven't really been made fun of or anything since I was younger, but it has absolutely kept me from living the life I want to. I'm not going to go into details of all the things that could be different because it's just depressing and would probably get a lot of TL;DR responses.

Anyways, Over the years I have lost some weight here and there but always gained it back. I'm completely sick and tired of it though and am more motivated than ever to finally lose all this weight. I'm going to use my blog to update my progress each week. I have the whole summer free to basically do whatever and am planning on being as active as possible. My goal is to lose 70 pounds by the end of August. The highest I got was 252 and I am currently 246.5. I really would love to get down to 180 or less.

I've looked at other weight loss blogs and no one really seemed to follow theirs up or complete their goals. (Except I did see and epic fight between Hot_Bid and Incontrol on one) So I am going to post every Sunday until the end of the summer with my progress. I'm going to take a picture each week so I can make my progress visible to everyone. If anyone else has any ideas of ways to show my progress I would not mind doing that either if requested (i.e. amount of pushups, farthest distance I can run, etc.) It would help to add more information to my post and make it less boring =)

Starting Weight: 245.5 lbs
Height 6'

I think posting weekly on your progress is a pretty awesome idea. I'm not sure on this, but 70 pounds in two and a half months seems ambitious to me. Don't go to overboard or starve yourself- your health needs to come first.

good luck man.

i've started my own weight loss journey and i have a few tips if you're really serious about losing the weight.

1 - Write down (or otherwise document) what you're eating / how much.

When I did this and looked up how many calories I was consuming, I was horrified. The simple act of recording what I was eating made me stop eating less. This also makes it easier to set reachable goals for yourself, eg: "This week I will eat xxx less bags of chips." or w/e your vice is. Mine's crackers =\

2 - Make a sustainable plan for exercise.

It's a lot easier to keep going with your exercise if you start off slow and increase it gradually than it is to start full tilt right off. Find something that works for you and keep at it. Don't overwork yourself cause then it's a lot easier to convince yourself that today isn't a good day to exercise!

anyways, good luck! if you can find a chin-up bar, you should try and see how many you can do of those before/after.

Just gonna plug it in (and I'm sure many others will agree) that the TL's health and fitness thread is a fantastic place for both information and motivation to help you reach your goals in a healthy way. I know this from experience. In just two months of reading the thread, I've learned so much more about taking care of my body and in turn, gotten stronger and reduced body fat percentage. It may seem like an intimidating place at first with all the numbers being thrown around in there but really, everyone in there's been nice to each other and helped out new posters as far as I've seen.

It is very ambitious and that's the point. I usually don't make big goals. But yeah I don't plan on starving myself at all. I'm not that desperate to lose weight super fast. Plus when I don't eat I have NO ENERGY to do anything and it makes me feel like crap. I want to do things that make me feel good.

I have super OCD so I count things allllll the time. Counting calories isn't a problem at all for me. I also have a very very good plan for exercise. I feel like I have all the tools and always have, but I've never had the motivation that I do now to use them.

I actually do. I have a schedule that I have planned two weeks ahead of time. Every week I plan out the week after the next. So if I do get behind it is not hard to change up my schedule on what I am doing. It's basically going to be running every day a little amount along with elliptical work for extra burn. I'll increase the load as I see fit (as my body sees fit) every 1-2 weeks just so I am constantly pushing myself and not being repetitive. I also am going to do strength training for upper body, legs, and core. But that wont be the focus.

To top that off I am with a good 4-5 groups of people my age who play sports once A week so if I'm not feeling completely drained I have an option to play sports for some extra fun and burn just about every day.

Get rid of the idea of losing weight. When you lose something your conditioned way of thinking tries to get it back. Instead, see your body in its most healthy and most favorable state. Begin to love your body each time you look into the mirror. Instead of giving energy to ideas of being overweight or out of shape, get ideas of your ideal body and the power locked up within your body. When you do so you change your self image. This causes your habitual way of thinking to change. When your thinking changes you begin to feel differently. When you begin to feel differently, you begin to act differently. In other words, your thoughts cause your feelings and your feelings cause your actions. The reason you have been gaining the weight back is because your are attempting to directly change your actions without addressing your feelings or your thoughts.

When you feel bad as you lose weight you develop negative associations to the idea of losing weight. This causes you to feel pain. Pain is a negative emotion that people attempt to avoid at all costs. Pain, like any problem, is caused by ignorance. Ignorance is not knowing, and people just don't know some things. Therefore, everybody is ignorant. All people can do is attempt to expand their conscious awareness in order to grow intellectually and spiritually. This growth is impossible if you are focusing on your physical reality, rather than living in the body you want to live in. To fix this problem you want to see your body where you want it to end up. In other words, you want to see the end result. If you just focus on the end result, you will be able to withstand circumstances.

Now, when employing the method of changing your thoughts which automatically change your feelings and actions you will need to satisfy two prerequisites.

1) Make sure your goal is something big. Your image of your body should be of your body in its ideal condition based on what you think. Don't base it on what anybody else thinks. You are responsible for your thoughts, feelings, and actions (aka your results). Don't give that responsibility to anybody else or you will enter an uncreative mental state where you will only go backwards from where you want to go. You also won't be fulfilled in the process as many negative emotions will be expressed if you live how you think somebody else thinks you should live. Back on point, your goal should be so big that you fear going after it. If you do not fear a goal, its probably not a good goal. This is because goals are meant to develop people intellectually and spiritually. Goals are meant to cause people to progressively move towards a worthy ideal. In other words, moving towards goals that cause people to grow on a continual bases is what makes an individual successful.

2) When a negative emotion or idea becomes present, don't put energy into it. The 7 negative emotions are fear, jealousy, hatred, revenge, greed, superstition, and anger. The negative emotion of jealousy is misunderstood by many people and is a huge problem for a lot of people trying to live in their ideal body. I define jealousy as "An emotion caused by a fear of losing something that you don't have." Any time you come across a jealous idea, simply realize you fear losing something you don't even have. Then remind yourself of how ridiculous such a negative idea (jealousy) is and you will not put any energy into being jealous. You can also do that with the other negative emotions, if you choose to define each of them. If you would like, I could go into more detail regarding the other 6 negative emotions. Moreover, when a negative idea, or an idea that will not move your towards your picture of living in your ideal body enters your consciousness, just say next and get a different idea. An idea is an accumulation of thoughts bundled up together. Thoughts are produced by reason, which is a faculty of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is what dictates your habits. When you think about positive ideas, you develop positive habits. Keep in mind, that the conscious mind can only think of one thing at any given time. If you maximize the time you are thinking about your ideal body and minimize the time thinking about the fear, why you can't, etc...you will change your habitual way of thinking about your body. This will cause you to feel and consequently act differently, which will change your results into what you desire.



In conclusion:
All it takes to 'lose weight' is making a decision. Once you make the decision, get a picture of yourself living in your ideal body. Then, when fear strikes or negative emotions come replace them in your consciousness with positive ideas. These positive ideas can simply be the picture your created of being in your ideal body. You have to be an actor, you have to act like you are already living how you want to live. You should absolutely love yourself when you look in the mirror. Your actions will automatically change if you did the former correctly, and you will enjoy the process. Once the actions kick in your results will consequently change. The time this takes really can't be determined since there are so many unpredictable factors. When you do make your goal and put it down in writing, make sure everything is in the present tense. The only thing not in the present tense is the date by which you want to achieve living in your ideal body. This date cannot be predicted, but you should take a lot of caution in picking a date that isn't too soon, but will also provide motivation in the process (AKA seems unreasonable to you with your current awareness). If you haven't satisfied your goal when the date comes, just push the date back and keep the picture.





In response to some of the posts above me:

"Write down (or otherwise document) what you're eating / how much"
"Make a sustainable plan for exercise."

If you develop the habit of thinking about your ideal weight, you will not be making bad eating choices. Your current paradigm will be urging you to pick unhealthy foods, but you can just use the power of decision to overcome those thoughts. Decisions are made in a split second. There are three things you should consider when making a decision:
1) Do I want what I will get?
2) WiIl it move me towards my goal?
3) Will it violate the rights of others?

If you answer yes to #1 and #2, and no to #3 then make the decision and stick with the decision.

When losing weight you will be making a lot of advanced decisions. Meaning, you will have already made a decision of what you will do before presented with the opportunity to make the decision. As an example, you might make the decision to eat healthy. Then if you go to a party and are offered a piece of cake, you will have already made a decision. Think for awhile how to make decisions. Don't go to other people to make decisions, make your own decisions. Otherwise you are not being responsible for your thoughts, feelings, and actions. This will cause you to move backwards, as I mentioned previously.

The two comments of the poster I quoted above can easily be accomplished through the information I have provided in the post. From my understanding, your outcome is not to lift X amount of weight or run X amount of miles. Its to live in your ideal body. The accomplishment of this idea is accomplished progressively. In other words, it happens over time. The only way to ensure it will happen over time and you won't get off track is by changing your habitual way of thinking (Through repetition of ideal, which will be accomplished by following the information I provided) and employing the technique to get rid of negative emotions and ideas.

tryummm, I really enjoy reading your posts. You really seem to have it all figured out, and that's something I admire and strive for. And tomorrow I'll reread that one when I'm rested and make more sense of it.

@tryumm Very much appreciated! I will admit I could've used that even more a couple years ago. I have gone through a lot in the past 1-2 years and have finally emerged mentally as the person I want to be. I am not at all saying that I am comfortable with my body, but I am completely comfortable with my personality and how I interact with people. I mainly just want to not have to wear jackets to cover up, I want to be comfortable swimming with friends, I want to hit on the attractive girls I see.

As I see it. Right now I am a happy person who will in time over the summer become even happier. I wont change at all who I am, but more so I will be able to comfortably do things I was scared to do before.

Well I don't have it all figured out. I am continuing to study every day so I can provide as much service to people as possible. I would recommend you reread that post every day for a month if you want to lose weight. Hell, you can use it to accomplish just about anything. People typically only read something once and assume they know it. The problem with that is without the repetition of going over the same material numerous times you never change your way of thinking. Until you change the way that you habitually think, your actions won't change for an extensive period.

tryummm, I really enjoy reading your posts. You really seem to have it all figured out, and that's something I admire and strive for. And tomorrow I'll reread that one when I'm rested and make more sense of it.

Well I don't have it all figured out. I am continuing to study every day so I can provide as much service to people as possible. I would recommend you reread that post every day for a month if you want to lose weight. Hell, you can use it to accomplish just about anything. People typically only read something once and assume they know it. The problem with that is without the repetition of going over the same material numerous times you never change your way of thinking. Until you change the way that you habitually think, your actions won't change for an extensive period.


Again, giving me some more quality advice and proving my point- you know what you're talking about. Maybe this should be taken to PM to not derail the blog, but how do you study and such to become so well sorted out?
