Disciple's Run
- Thread starter Disciple
- Start date
I've heard this before.
Less talk.
More action.
Right now food and your choices are owning you.
If they weren't, the scale would be heading in the opposite direction.
You've got nobody to let down but yourself. You've expressed how unhappy you are. You've expressed how much you want this. Now it's up to you to man up and do what must be done on a consistent basis to change things.
You also need to nix the bingeing.
I'm not hear to be your cheerleader. I won't do that. If you aren't going to make progress after all the information and support that's been provided to you... then it's evident you don't want things bad enough.
That's tough love, my man.
I want to see you succeed beyond belief. There's a world out there where things are entirely different. Where you don't battle with food. Where you are fit and healthy. Where you will be around for many years with your family. Where you aren't just happy.... you're proud and feel very accomplished. Where you own it.
You just have to be willing to put one foot in front of the other and not turn back.
Your call.

Just read this whole thread and thought I'd post something.
First of all, I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on here, so I'll plug FitDay.com, cuz it's been working wonders for me. Based on your height and weight, it tells you what you'd need to eat to maintain your weight, and then how many calories you need to eat to lose the weight. You enter the food you eat, the exercise you do, etc. It's awesome.
Anyway, I was going to say that it's really important to maintain a steady caloric intake. I think it'll help you to avoid binging if you make sure you're eating enough on "good" days. I just entered 6'0" and 500lbs into FitDay. With a sedentary lifestyle, you'd need almost 4000 calories a day to maintain that weight. So, to lose a steady 2 pounds a week, you'd want to aim for just under 3000 calories a day for now. That's loads, right? And maybe you could handle 2500 calories a day and lose 3 lbs a week.
But when you have a day where you only eat 1000 calories, you body freaks out, thinking that you're starving. It lowers your metabolism. And you don't lose any more weight than your body can help. So, it's important to make sure you eat enough without binging.
And if you make good choices about what to eat, you can probably do all this without going hungry.
Anyway, it sounds like you have the desire to do this. Now let's see some results!

you are doing great but i agree. Going too low on calories isn't good for your body either. Not only is it tough to actually consistently eat like that, it trashes your metabolism. Consistancy is the key bro! You want to make it a lifestyle change and not just a diet. Either way I'm still rooting for ya!!!!

i hear every body....but honestly at the point that i ate those oysters i was eating them because i wanted too not because i was hungry, and i am proud of myself i limited myself to 3 of them and counted the calories on them......but i was not hungry i was only eating because i wanted too....heck my roomate fried up some sausage and bbq sauce and i avoided it....im proud there too man i really showed restraint yesterday....
so far today i ate
2 cups oatmeal 200 calories
2 grilled chicken breast and 2 cups veggies 400 calories
I have one pack of oatmeal left to snack on and an orange for later and then i will eat chicken prolly for dinner

LOL no need to be embarassed.. that wasnt my intent. I just want you to realize the importance of journaling your food. There are sometimes we forget what he had and thats gets us in trouble. Besides theres more to journaling than just our food intake. TU SABBBES !

One of the biggest problems with food addiction is the mindless eating. Your brain pretty much shuts down and you just eat.... And then you wake up when you're done, and you're like "WTF, did I just eat that entire bag of Fritos?" So, being good about writing down what you eat can really help. Get a journal that's pocket-sized, and write it down while you're eating. Every time. At least for now. You want to be able to look at the journal and see where your problem areas are. Jot down the calories if you have the info on you, but don't let not knowing stop you from writing something down. You can always look it up later.

say dude i know everyone else has been sayin this
your calorie count is pretty low for you
i weight like 280, i have a strenuous job and it says i can eat 3500 calories a day(this still will give me a restriction of 1268 calories), i only eat 2700 or so sometimes 3100 if i find some jerky i feel like trying out.
you should most def bump your intake to around 2500 if not more, especially if you are getting a good walk or something in
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, if we lived closer i would make you come to the gym, be mr. olympia in no time
also, if you do your walk or whatever before you eat breakfast, it helps out burning off bodyfat because you are basically running on empty, forcing the body to burn your stores a.k.a bodyfat...
its what i do
