hey sheth, hope you're still sticking to this! something i wanna suggest to you is to stop eating from fast food places, no matter how healthy it supposedly is. it is made cheaply and is not healthy at all!

you need real food, man! try and start making your own chicken salads! put some nuts or cranberries or pineapple slices or whatever in there. the point is, you need to have ACTUAL food! a fast food salad is still made from dirt cheap ingredients that are more focused on tasting good and making your full.

keep it up man! you got this!

Good luck. It's tough to change yourself and losing weight isn't just eating different things. A diet isn't a fashionable craze either. You have to change how you approach eating; both the food and the reasons why you eat with them. Results will follow.

I wish you the best of luck. The first 50 will be both the easiest to lose and the hardest to adapt to. Once you reach your first benchmark however each step further will be one step easier. Merry Christmas

TL is behind you.

Don't know why I haven't posted here yet... Two months ago I weighed in at 350.1 pounds. This was just after IPL3. Starting the week of Blizzcon, I just decided to go for it. Since then, about 2.5 months later, i'm now 315 pounds! I have a long way to go, but I will certainly jump in and join you here. :D GL HF Shawn!

GL Sheth!
I used to be an athlete then I went to college and I now weigh 215-220 pounds although I carry it well being a tall guy at 6' 4". When I get back to school I am going to start working out and see if I can get back in the shape I once was.

ironically enough I have a big conference on the 7th as well. So I need to be at my best for it. I'm pumped to go and I want to look better. I'm at 49.5 stomach atm. Just after xmas so I assume a lot of it is post-xmas weight. I'm doing an 8 hour workout today so I should be in better shape after that(shoveling snow for 8 hours). plus I'm on a stricter diet then I was before. I'm eating almost nothing :D . Its hard, but I'm loving it. Also I'm having a ton of garlic, raw Garlic. It kills my sotmach and give me huge stomach pains. But its worth it.

Hoping I can show good results before the end of the Challenge.

I have to say that generally really low calories and working hard doesn't seem to work so well. Either eat more and work out more or eat less and don't work out light. And if you eat, then make sure what you eat is protein, otherwise you'll lose most of your muscle mass. If you want to continue doing something drastic, may I suggest you read this book, so you will do what you are doing but correctly. I guarantee you it will be easier to adhere to and will lead to better results. It's also only around 100 pages.

Still quite sick at the moment. I've missed my last 2 gym sessions due to just coughing and that sort of thing. Going to the doctors again soon.

Haven't had the greatest of time focusing on losing weight while being out of it for a bit on some strong meds and then just not getting any sleep. However I'm still trying to do the challenge and I won't back down from any of the promises made to others who are doing it as well. And obviously I'm still trying my best to lose weight, its just not been a very good best of late. I've been sick sense NASL and its fluctuated up/down sense. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

Also thanks Kevin, this should be awesome. Thanks for keeping this bumped. I need to write a lot more updates.

Well, being sick is pretty good way to lose weight without exercise :D The other way is stress in general.

While you do loose weight while you are sick, it is mostly water from having fever, so it is not real weight loss.

My best experience loosing weight, is the diet, exercising will keep you healthy, and give you energy, but the diet is the thing that really help loosing weight.

ok.

So snce the date is closing in I want to do one more self-update before the date comes and final tallies are done.

I'm down to 47.75 on my sotmach. I've been following my orignal plan more of less with a tiny bit of spoiling myself here and there, no junk food or anything high in sugar. But stuff like a tiny peice of cheese or some rice.

The last 3 days are winding down and I want to be down to 45 by the end so I have good results.

It's really to bad you have been sick for most of the challenge, working out when sick is not to great of an idea, it really makes losing weight hard.

Regardless, I hope the last month has been a positive start to getting healthier. Myself, I've lost 8-9 lbs since you/we started the challenge. However I've extended my challenge to include quitting smoking pot because losing weight while smoking is rather difficult. Lol

Also props to CatsPajamas! Droppin it like it's hot

If you're interested into losing a high amount of fat in a shorter period of time, I recommend looking into ketosis. There is a good subreddit for it. The issue is maintaining a lower weight when coming off the extreme carbohydrate reduction, it's not by any means a permanent diet but it seems to be very effective. This is a diet only plan, it would be much easier to maintain with any sort of schedule you might have. My limited understanding of it is that you basically piss the fat out of your body.

Im starting to diet/exercise more ( mostly because Im betting another overweight friend) but would also like to be healthier. I have a few questions, general ones:

What is the daily burnoff of calories w/o doing anything? Im shooting for about 2200 calories intake a day, and was wondering if thats too high or low?

How much running/biking is needed to burn 100calories?

Is counting calories the best way to diet?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Get rid of the concept of 'losing weight.' See yourself in the body you wish to live in and use that image and the feelings you get from the image to make well rationed decisions regarding your ultimate outcome. If you focus on the concept of losing weight, you will be under the subliminal impression of loss and will look for it later. This is a large reason why a lot of people regain weight after losing it. However, if you maintain a vision of your ideal body you will stay in equilibrium once you reach your outcome.

Ask your doctor or a nutritionist you can meet with IN PERSON the first question.
