Good luck, Sheth!

By the way, have you heard of Robb Wolf? His book is very informative and practical but still easy to read.

You can do it Sheth! Its always good to be healthy yo! I support u, I'm planning on doing some dieting soon, im waiting till after Christmas though because i know that there will be lots of food up until that point. In the mean time i will be checking in man i hope everything goes well for ya, Once u get started the first 2weeks are the hardest, once u get into that routine of eating differently and working out or what ever u plan on doing. That's when it just becomes routine and its not so bad at all and then u start seeing results and before ya know u keep the ball rolling!

Hey Sheth,

I've been overweight my entire life and I went out and bought an exercise bike so that I could watch Starcraft 2 streams on my TV while exercising (helps get rid of the boredom) and I just wanted to say you have finally given me the kick in the butt I needed to REALLY get going on becoming healthy. I'm at 216 pounds and believe me I'll be busting my butt right alongside with you man =)

Good luck!


Sick, maybe while on the bike you can watch my stream too ;D

But one question, how tall are you? You seem rather tall.

Anyway,

183 cm (6 ft) tall
(I used to be 245 lbs)

8th of Jannuary is the day of reckoning?


Correct, 7th is the lasttttt day of the first month of the rest of our lives

Good luck Sheth! This will have a huge impact on your life. It certainly did for me when I did.

In grade 10 I was over 60 pounds overweight (I was at 235 at a height of around 5'8", so pretty bad), and managed to lose 60 (Down to 175, which is within acceptable BMI for my size for normal weight). It was the best I've ever felt and I managed to maintain it for more than 2 years. Unfortunately I gained a bunch back last year due to university (my first year) and stress and went up to 220. Since September I've lost 27 pounds (currently at 193 as of day before yesterday). I did not manage to keep my work out schedule in November because of uni (stupid essays!) so my progress has been hampered but now thanks to finals I can start again so I will take part and hopefully get down to 185 or 180 in the next month, while building muscle.

I definitely recommend tracking your caloric intake with a program or website (I use Livestrong, it's free and easy to use). I did that starting in September and it was surprising how it makes you think about food. I definitely watch what I eat more now because of it. Also, drinking water helps a ton. I drink about 12 cups per day now.

I'll edit in my stomach and chest measurements later on. I'm doing core-based exercises specifically to get rid of my belly.

Weight: 193
Height: 5'11"
Waist: 35"

Remember that it is very important to make lifestyle changes that are sustainable. Just like in video games, the obvious cause of the problem is not where you should look to begin making changes (ie. building thors counter mutas). A more ascetic lifestyle is what you are really going for, not just weight loss.

I hope to start working out, practicing more, and not putting off homework, this will give me another positive factor towards achieving my own goals .

I'm looking forward to seeing you in your new even-more-awesome state!

Well all the best man. I too wanted to lose weight, but realized Christmas is around the corner, and my family goes all out with the food... so maybe next year.

However, this has helped BuffCraft although the thread has sadly been closed/

Good luck Sheth

Hey Sheth
I'm not much of a poster here on TL but I am a huge fan and I hope I can help you out. I play football at Cal and have benefited tremendously from our strength & conditioning and nutrition programs and I want to share some of the wisdom I have learned from our staff with you. These will take the form of some basic tips with an explanation underneath in case the saying isn't clear.

When you are planning a meal, make sure to only include one starch
-For example, a traditional meal might have pasta, salad, bread rolls, and meatballs. This is a tasty meal, but including the bread rolls with it does not fulfill any additional nutritional needs while still adding calories and fat if you butter your roll.

Fill up on greens instead of grains
-Typically, it is considered important to have vegetables with your meals (salad in the previous example). However, this should be taken a step further when trying to lose weight and the vegetable should be what you reach to for seconds. This is important because dieting can really suck and be difficult to maintain if you have to feel hungry all the time. Have some of the Calorie dense food, but make sure to fill up on the calorie light and vitamin heavy vegetables.

Low impact exercise can make a huge impact
-Ok that's kinda corny I'll admit it... It is still true though. For bigger guys, attempting to run too much, play sports like tennis, or do other exercises that people might recommend can cause a lot of pain in your back and knees. In order to avoid this, stick to exercises like the elliptical machine at the gym and walking or swimming until you feel comfortable with the stress that more traditional exercise puts on your body.

We all strive for perfection but it is never quite within our grasp
-This is perhaps the most important piece of advice I can give you. Remember that you're human, and that sometimes you're not going to do the best thing for your diet or your exercise regimen. The important thing to remember though is that as long as you do the right thing most of the time, you're going to be seeing results and feeling better before you know it .

Best wishes <3
Run to daylight!

Hey Sheth! Big fan. I've been watching you since you had like 100 viewers and still lived at home! Anyways, I'm in a similar situation here but I started two months ago, so here's what I've learned in the past two months.

First, go to this website: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Your maintenance is how much you need to maintain your current weight, ie you eat as much as you use. The other two numbers are going to be your goals. I assume you want to go with the 'extreme' fat loss diet, and it's totally your choice.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART is diet. Exercise is good, but it actually does surprisingly little. A diet is a diet, and its the MAIN component of what you're trying to do. There is NO MAGIC in any of the diets you've heard of on TV etc. It's simply a matter of consuming less calories. A lot of the bullshit you read about is bullshit. You're going to have to think of it like this: I'm eating the diet of the person I want to be. I am consuming the number of calories of the person I want to be. And that's all you have to think about. A person weighing 160lbs only has to eat like 1800 calories a day to be 160lbs. And you want to be 160 lbs, so eat like that person. So, start calorie counting like a motherfucker. Write it all down in a journal. But it is seriously 95% about your caloric intake. Pretty simple, IMO. Then, add in exercise.

As for what you'll be eating, you want to eat mainly protein and vegetables, with a small amount of carbs. Protein fills you up for a longer time because it takes longer to break down in your body. Vegetables are a good filler as well, but have very little calories. They also have fiber which is good for bowel movements (lulz) and keeping you feeling full. The same should apply to your carb intake. Whole grains, bitch. Eat 'em. So, consider eating something like chili. That shit is chock full of protein and vegetables. My problem is that I love food and can't just eat a skinless chicken breast or eggs or whatever. Shit needs to be flavorful. So be ready to coat your chicken breast in shitloads of seasoning, and throw garlic all over your food. Know how to cook? No? Start learning! It's fun, creative, and useful. You'll have to brainstorm more dishes (I'm working on it too), and they're not easy to think of, but they exist.

As for working out - be ready to be sore, for about a week. Like, achingly sore. And then you'll work out more and it will stop aching and stop being sore. After about 2-3 weeks, you actually get used to working out, and your body adjusts to it, and you'll never really have to worry too much about being sore again! Cool, right?

1) Before each workout, EAT something. Not a lot, but something to give you energy so that you MAXIMIZE your time spent working out. So, think about having a few crackers and maybe a small handful of nuts. Give yourself 10-15 minutes to let your body start metabolizing and gogogo. 2) DRINK TONS OF WATER. Being dehydrated sucks and you don't even know you're dehydrated, you just kinda feel like shit and wonder why. Drink 24/7. 3) Take a multivitamin. Why? Fuck if I know, but do it anyways. Shit's good for you, man.

If I think of more stuff, I'll let you know. But good luck. (The best feeling, by the way, is seeing a part of your body you thought looked like shit, and then being like "not bad" once you start losing weight. And the change is gradual but you can see it. You can fucking see it, even if it's small. It feels amazing. My forearms - I hate them. But I'm seeing definition in them. They're gaining mass and a real shape. My hands look... manlier. Just wait man. I believe in you Sheth!)

I lost a bit of weight a few years ago... went from 112Kg(247Lb) and 186cm(6'2'") down to 88Kg(194Lb).

Last few months I've been inactive though, and am currently back up to 95Kg(210Lb). Want to try and get down to 85Kg.

Good luck Sheth! I have become a fan recently thanks to your wonderful stream moderator TheSnod who is a friend of mine... unlike him though, I have a full time job, so can't often stay up and watch you stream at 3am here in Aus. An amazing player, and all starcraft players should aspire to be more like you with manner. <3
