good luck but lets see if you can keep it off then, train yourself to eat a health small good meal each day afterwords, ive been eating a chicken breast 5 days a week for 3 or 4 years now, mixed with some veggies...though I am rather small I wouldl ike to stay there also...28in waste at age 30 and I do not work out anymore either. 135lbs....also nix the soda to 1 a week max

thanks
The small portion / better choices of food are going to be the key for me. I was always one to eat the 2 serving's of whatever it may be at meal time... NO more of that! As tired as i am of chicken I admit I have come to terms with the fact that it is the way to go and i NEED to leave my old eating habits behind. I have been talking with my trainer he also suggested the chicken / veggie 5-6 days a week after the 40 day period is done and having the 1 night a week to enjoy the other food's. Especially regarding the Carb Rich foods, the carbs are what i have to watch out for the most after this diet is over with.

The way i look at it is i am on track to potentially break the 300 lb mark, And once that mile stone is broken I cannot let myself go back Not saying that i am going to do otherwise if i dont break the 300lb mark but i want that 300lb or less BAD right now.
As for the soda i have cut out soda entirely! I am happy with my water and on the special occasions my zero calorie crystal light.
On Tuesday my grandfather passed away at the age of 93, his wake is sunday and his funeral is Monday. Well as result i went and pulled out all my dress shirts from high school (7 years ago) and proceeded to try them on. Ill tell ya it was a GREAT thing to try on these dress shirts and Realize that they fit me better now then they did in High school! It cheered me up alot considering the circumstances... At that moment i told myself that i am going to turn my life around and never look back. My grandpa always gave me a hard time on loosing the weight, Tho he was a big guy himself 90% of his life he always wanted me to drop the pounds to a much more healthy level. So when he passed i told myself i am going to finally get this done for him in his Memory.

I did a variety of a Paleo diet (called the Primal Blueprint, allows a little bit of dairy) and lost 65lbs in 9 months back in 2011 with very little exercise. I've kept it off since then. I won't call it "easy" to maintain, but its not terribly hard

PROVEN DIET

1.EAT LESS.

2.EXCERCISE MORE.

THE END


Good Luck Chris!! Its not the method but the moxy.

Amen!

If I don't have the ganja I won't work out. I like to work out at least 4 days a week, but 5 or 6 days happens quite often. I'm on the other side of the fence though, I need to gain weight. It is challenging for me as well but I'm not going to act like it's just as hard as having to lose it. The doctor told me to eat everything in sight so that's what I've been doing. I've never had such an affection towards cheeseburgers before (the fawk did you do with my pretzel burger Wendy's?!). If I just ate and didn't work out, I feel like I'd be one of those skinny dudes with the tooth pick arms and chicken legs but a big gut. No thanks.

Kudos to you Chris, however you go about it. DC knows what he's talking about too. Do whatever you gotta do for now, but if you get to a weight that's a bit more manageable you might want to consider working out. I'm in love with my Bowflex. It's not gathering any dust. As you know, diet is huge and living in this country will be challenging while trying to lose weight. Almost everything that most people eat most of the time is bad for them, including myself. Diet would help me greatly as well. You said it yourself about the sautéed veggies, they're probably not doing as much good as you might think. America is purposely mislead about their diet, it's not most people's fault.

I know I'm a broken record but look up two movies if you're interested Chris. Look up "Forks Over Knives" and "The Beautiful Truth". Good stuff.

Good luck pal.

Thanks John
I am with ya with working out multiple times a week, Lately i have been doing 6 days a week. Monday,Wednesday, Friday weights and then 2 miles on the tread mill at 13 out of 15 incline. then Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday 3 miles on the tread mill. It has become rather fun actually lol, i never thought i would actually look forward to going to the gym But like Dirtcrasher mentioned back in the beginning of this thread once you get in the groove of working out it is easy to get addicted. I totally agree with your thought process of not wanting to grub out on everything in sight and then not work out. and speaking of your Wendy's pretzel burgers lol i was with my father this afternoon and he was like i am hungry but i dont want to eat in front of you.... Needless to say i was like it is not a problem go and get something to eat.... He ends up grubbing down wendy's in front of me.... GOD did it smell INTOXICATING lol! anyways enough about Wendy's. I bet you need to eat a ton of protein tho eating everything in sight does get the job done but i would have the thought of the skinny body but the skinny guy with the big gut.... Dont want OR need that lol so keep up with the workouts!

As for the diet Life i could not agree more! ill tell ya have you ever sat back and actually counted how many Comercials are on TV about FOOD!!! it is FLIPPING incredible! i did it recently and got 12 in the span of a half hour and it goes without saying that nearly everyone of them was for fast food and or Crap and 3 of those 12 were for Subway which in my personal opinion is the definition of processed crap and their new Frito chicken or whatever Sandwhich. Sorry for the Rant on the subject but sitting here while on this diet it clicked for me one day that it is no wonder why so many Kids / youth / young adults LET alone adults are obese in this country. I dont no i am ranting lol

I will for sure lookup the "forks over Knifes" and "The beautiful Truth"

Thanks Bill
he went out quick which is the way he deserved to go, the only thing that I would have changed is that i would have rather seen him Just Drop one day in his Garden like in the God Father (He had alot of Italian in him by the way). He had a MEGA huge garden that he worked well into his late 80's everything under the sun even a grape vine for making wine and grape jelly. I always told myself thats how i would want him to go out just go down in the tomatoes... It sounds a little cold but it really would have been a fitting way to go lol.

trying on the clothes was AMAZING tho, and I am going to stick with it. You could not have said it better with the fact that it is a never ending battle.... You no what they say tho No Pain No Gain have to just keep on grinding it out. It is an addiction in alot of ways, once you decide to quit you will always have it in the back of your head but All you can do is just continue looking forward to the better things to come.

That really hits home about the garden. Enjoy the memories of all his good times this weekend and enjoy the family gathered around. Celebrate his life. 93 is nothing to complain about. And hopefully there's a good veggie tray at the funeral dinner for ya. Take care.
