Current Events > WEIGHT! Come back! (Weight Loss Topic numero trois).

(+) Yeah! (+)

Afraid to weigh myself after yesterday. Gonna take a week to settle in on a weight and not be too psychologically damaging. Also maybe work out extra

I started last friday to lose weight

When i weighed then, i was at 319 pounds, when earlier in my life i was 326 or something like that

I'm trying to do the 16/8 hour diet where i only eat in an 8 hour window, i also walk for an hour a day

I measured myself this morning and I'm at 315

So thats progress?

I've lost 80 pounds since August

• Treat it like a lifestyle change and not a diet (diet has a negative connotation where you're going to eat things you hate, and also has a temporary feel)
• Calorie counting (I use Lose It! which is a free app)
• Use exercise bike/go for walks for at least 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week
• Eat out a LOT less. So much sodium and sugar is in American foods and it's even harder to dodge when you're eating out. I also try to limit how much sodium and sugar I intake every day to recommended daily values
• Get better sleep and cut out caffeine
• Most importantly, you have to want to lose weight to begin with

cut out caffeine

like coffee? I drink black coffee every few days. Is that bad for weight loss?

Thank you!

I used to drink nothing but soda, but one night when i woke up severely thirsty i knew that had to change

So then i started drinking some water in between sodas

And then it used to be mostly water, with a soda can once a day

Now i drink mostly water, and sip maybe, 1/3rd of a can? 1/4th a can a day? mostly to get that caffiene for my addiction, but i hope it helps! I hope we both get to sub 300!

'm 5' 11" and 140.

Im legit doing what another user in this topic said, and counting calories, sorry

I lost three pounds last week. I wasn't trying to though :(

I've been slacking, so I haven't been posting in these. Haven't lost any weight in months. The upside though, is that my weight hasn't gone back up lol.

My gf wants to start doing walks, so maybe that will get me back on track.

I have shift work so my sleep schedule is always fucked up >_> I just worked 2 night shifts in a row. That's something against me, but I guess if I still consistent with diet and exercise, it won't hurt too much, right?

Great advice. I use Fitbit.

Ow! Do you HAVE to do shift work?

100% yes >_> Usually 2 nights a week but sometimes 3. I can sleep at the job but if I get a call I gotta wake up and go immediately

Started the year at 323, at 310 right now.

I really appreciate the support Cocytus! No lie I'm legit just doing this so i can cosplay more slim characters in the future, that sounds shallow, but at the same time i'll be getting more healthy i suppose, so its a win!

Post even though you're slacking. I will too. That's what this is about, not a fashion show.

What's your ultimate goal?

was that I was almost too big for some of the theme park seats... And I really love theme parks >_>

175lbs which is about 25lbs from where I normally/currently hover.

Also, when I go off my diet, I tend to get a good amount of strength gains that I actually keep. So I'm definitely also gaining some muscle. My clothes fit tighter in arms/shoulders and loose in the tummy area to confirm. So I may actually look how I want at like 185lbs. Beginning of the year I was at like 215. So I'm headed in the right direction for sure at least.

Tl;dr: I want to be shredded

Im trying so hard not to focus on eating

for the past 2 days, legit one thing that im now looking forward to, is eating at 3, because thats the start of my allowed eating time, and i never used to look forward to eating

this is gonna take some time getting used to

Yeah been busy with moving to new house amd eating bad.

Want to get to a point where i can intermittent fast again consistently

Y'all aren't gonna like this but for the past year I've been trying to gain and I make short term success but any deviation from my diet and I'm back at square one. I went on holiday at 187lbs and came back from holiday at 182. What the actual fuck?

Some people need to gain. What's your stats and diet?

I'd try to make it more natural. Or get a Fitbit or other to help.

I looked into fitbit, but thats an easy 50 dollars right there, kinda expensive

On the plus side though, I'm trying to play video games to get my mind off of the thought of eating. I'm currently at 310 pounds! Legit last friday i was at 319, I'm shedding these pounds away

30 pounds so far since February 1st, coworkers have started noticing which is nice.

Hallelujah! Congrats man. What's your method?

I stopped eating fast food and drinking soda. Lift weights 5 or so days a week and walk 25+ miles a week. Just eat a light breakfast and dinner, skip lunch.
