Way to go Habibi! I just completed week 3 with another 2 pounds of weight loss for a total of 14. Doesn't seem like a huge difference but it's a step in the right direction and alot of people here say 1-2 lbs. a week is the safest.

 

good job bigsherm.....14lbs in 3 weeks is good. You dont wanna loose too much, too fast.

Have you noticed your clothes fitting different yet?

 

I wear pretty baggy clothes most of the time, but I did have to tighten my duty belt at work a little bit.

 

I wanna see BigHersh and BigSherm sandwhich the lass you have in your siggy there lifeguardjoe. Maybe they can wear that paint off her *****

 

All you guys who have made the lifestyle change, I salute You! Eating healthy and exercising is key to living longer and getting more quality time with the ladies in your life. SALUTE!!!

 

Saw this funny cartoon in the newspaper last week.
Very appropiate for this thread.





I am 1.82 m and weigh 245 lbs.
I wish you luck with your battle against overweight.

I agree with Buckdropper, some of you guys don't look that heavy seen from the picture.

 

I just got over a case of food poisoning from McDonald's. I lost 22 lbs in 3 days. It was Hell; but, I look great! 6' 2" @ 199 lbs.

 

What? Nobody wants to try my diet secret?










I don't blame you. I'm still paying.

 

Wouldn't have gotten food poisoning if you went to Burger King...

 

I wouldn't have gotten a McGriddle either.


I'm swearing off sausage for a while. The thought of it makes me queazy right now.

 

We don't want spit in our food either.

 

I wasn't going to pick at old wounds; but, since you brought it up... That's the first thing I thought of.

 

It seems alot of people are getting tired of the extra weigh this year. I know more people that have started to drop the weight lately than ever I think.

I started to slowly change my eating habbits after thanksgiving. I am now eating only about 1200 - 1300 calories per day, and even that consists of very healthy food. I didnt lose any weigh at first but it finaly started dropping about 2 weeks ago. Started out at 5'11 245lbs. and have dropped a little over 10 lbs in the past two weeks. My goal at the moment is 200, but I suspect it will change again once I reach it.

shouldnt be too hard, I already dont realy even miss the food I used to love.

Good luck to all of you, I'm tired of being the fattest country around and I hope we can help change it. Seems like a big task, but if we all learn to eat healthy and keep passing that along to our kids or future kids, I think it can happen.

 

one more thing to add.

One pound of fat is 3500 calories.

just something to keep in mind when you are eating or working out.

 

I went on the Subway steak & cheeze poisoning plan. 18 pounds 3 days. I'd do it again. Perfect way to jumpstart a diet plan.

About another hour until my weigh-in. Stuck in the office all week, ate bad. Can't wait go to see what the 'ol scale says...

EDIT: Packed on 3lbs. D'oh! This week should be much better, and I should be able to escape work for the gym.
