This is one of those topics that have come up in a couple different threads.
Who here has lost weight and what are some good ways of doing it?

Proper diet and regular excersize.

On a consistent basis.

Thats pretty much the only thing that is guaranteed to work.

crack cocaine.

heroin whore doesnt have the same ring to it tho......

get a room!

Two drastic ones that work:

1. Eat a bunch of veggies and nothing else. Take multivitamins for your B intake. Then run a couple of miles every day. Drink lots of water and tea.

2. Smoke cigarettes (which suppress appetite) and lower your food intake to simple stuff that gives you only 800 calories per day. Drink plenty of water and tea.

Eat air. Or something light like pillow stuffing.

I hope, with all my heart, that you mean minutes and not hours.

Do you have access to a treadmill or stationary bike? Indoor stairs?

I meant two hours. I have a weight bench in my garage. I really want a stationary bike.

I'm unemployed right now so I have the time to walk. I also take the bus everywhere and the main station is about a mile from where I live. I'll usually walk there if I am going anywhere. So walking is part of my everyday routine. I have no interest in lifting weights. When I do get in shape, maybe, but not right now.

When I was in high school I used to play basketball after school and ride my bike everywhere. Then I got a job, which cut down on my basketball time, and my friend got a car, which made me stop riding my bike. I do not know how to cook so If I have money, I end up getting fast food. I know to some people this might sound like something small, but it is really hard to break habits that I've had for ten years. Last time I weighed myself I was about 300 pounds. I know I have lost weight since then, but I don't know how much.

I was pushing 200 lbs for a 6 foot asian dude, so when i wanted to lose the gut I dropped soda and dranked primarily juices and water. That by itself really cut off some mad calories. Then I just stayed active regularly. Your body notices when you walk/run on a regular basis and starts altering metabolism. Metabolism is your best friend when it comes to weight loss. I lost like 30-40 lbs.

Holiday weight and sitting indoors in the cold has let me slip a bit. Ah well, more new years resolutions.

Believe it or not, we were just talking diets at our New Years party. One of the guys in my group is a personal trainer and he and one of the girls were talking about her diet. She's on the South Beach which is better for you than the other one, forgot the name of it off hand.

According to the guy, if it's white, don't eat it, like rice, white bread, whole wheat is better. Also, believe it or not, he said carrots have a lot of sugar in them.

As for me, I've found that excercise is the only way I lose weight these days, and I've been really wanting to sign up with a gym and work out, but lack of time, and mostly lack of extra money have kept me from doing it. Sure we have a stationary bike in the basement, but I was never a fan of bikes for working out, for me it was the precore machines.

As for pop, I only drink it when I'm at work, I generally don't drink it at home, and though I drink it when I'm out, I'm not a coffee drinker so that's how I take my caffine, really on a normal day, I only have 2 cans tops, at the absolute most.

Back in the days when diet used to work, I went a week with just having a salad for lunch and lost a little weight, don't know how much, but I could feel it in my clothes and my co-worker said she could tell I lost some.

I know all too well what it's like to have been active years ago then stopped, and gained weight. That happened to me when I stopped playing volleyball and hanging out with my friends constantly. Because we'd do more than the once a month volleyball, depending on the time of year, we would also do stuff Sundays after church.

But I digress. I have noticed at times when I'm running up and down the stairs at work that I'm shed a little, but it doesn't last because it's not conistent, and I usually get stuck at my desk trying to get caught up on stuff. But every little thing helps.

I noticed that with all the walking I did on vacation, I could feel a bit lighter that week, but again, it didn't last. When I came back home, it was back to the grind. It's funny, with all the running up and down the stairs I do at church you'd think I'd have dropped more than I have, but I'm statring to think I'm gaining muscle and so I'm not going to see it on the scale so I have to rely on my clothes for that.

But anyway, I was watching tv this afternoon and happend to watch a little of the Windsor Pilates infomercial and was thinking about renting it, see if I like it or not. I hear you can lose weight with pilates, so who knows.

I really wish I had access to some stairs. I really need to get a picture of the stairs I have at my house. I live in a two story duplex that used to be one house. Its a very common thing here. My landlord was too lazy to remove the stairs so right now we have a staircase that leads nowhere.

Well, that's a start. If you can still climb them and go down, then it's better than nothing. What will also help is to add some weight the more you do. I know it's helped that I climb stairs carrying both my (full) laptop case and my briefcase.

plus i hear batwoamn is helluva active in the sack!

I can stand on the bottom step. Anything farther I have to bend over. The only stairs I walk on now are the ones at the library which are has three floors and very high ceilings.

well i believe she bends over alot.....

Me in 2000 at almost 500 pounds




Me in 2004 at 250 pounds



sorry I don't have any recent full body photos, but here's how I did it.

I used to take Stacker 2 with ephedra, and that dropped me from almost 500 pounds to 330 pounds in about a year. unfortunately, it also caused mental problems so I had to quit. Then I started working out and completely altered my diet about a year and a half ago, and I dropped from 330 to my current weight of 240.

I eat a lot of vegetables, tuna fish, chicken, and steak occasionally. I completely cut out all fast food restaurants except for Subway (and I only eat from their 7 grams of fat and under menu). A small glass of juice in the morning with whole grain cereal, eggs, and a muffin or toast. I load up on carbs in the morning because it gives me energy for the day and I'll burn it off anyway. I stopped drinking soda and drank only water. For a water chart divide your weight by 3, and that's how many ounces a day you should drink. I drink a gallon of water in a day. Beer is okay, but not in large amounts. Maybe a couple bottles a week, if that.

Vitamins and supplements. Very important. I take 2 megavitamins a day, one in the morning and one at lunch. I drink a protein shake after every workout. It's very important because when lifting weights you want to slightly tear your muscles, and the muscles need protein to rebuild, and the more muscle you have the more fat you burn. For that I drink Nitro-Tech with 2% milk. Milk is also very important to your diet, and should not be ignored. Just don't overdo the protein shake because you'll just shit it out and waste it. I also take 3 capsules of Muscle Jack and a handfull of creatine tablets a half hour before every work out. The reason for that is, the Muscle Jack increases testosterone output and the creatine increases anabolic insulin, and the combination creates muscular hypertrophy, which is a fancy way of saying maxiumum muscle growth.

A good work-out routine I use is Body for Life. That site will have everything you need and answer any questions you have.

Slap that ASS is what I always say! Batwoman you ever do it Donkey style?

6'5

Yeah that's it. Thanks! I was drawing a major blank on the name of the diet, which I later remmebered, but of course forgot to post when I went back online. *sigh*

was it the official guestlist fuck in the ass diet?

Atkins is a horrible diet. Your brain needs carbohydrates. Without them you become stupid.

I was thinking the same thing, a very slim 500.

Ok in all seriousness, how much do you guys think I weigh? A picture from my vacation back in August.

Seriously it's not. The reason I ask is simple. I've caught bits and pieces of the Biggest Loser recently, as well as had seen this one similar show on MTV, just after it started (while channel surfing) and I'm starting to feel a bit paranoid, for lack of a better word. I weigh more then some of the women on those shows, yet they seem much bigger than me. So I'm curious to see what others think I weigh, and no I probably wont reveal my actual weight, call me self concious for it, but I guess I feel like that because I used to be much thinner just 10 years back and so there are times when I think of the actual weight, in terms of numbes, I feel bigger than I really am.

And I'm the one with glasses, the tall one.
