My transformation: Before - After (Pictures)

good job on the progress and honesty.

I am officially starting my 100 pounds in one year exorcism tomorrow (although I have been experimentally going at it for a week now, testing my schedule plans).

I fear the hunger part as well........ but I am preparing for that too.

Try not bringing your wallet to work, so the temptation to buy a snack is impossible....or as my workplace goes.....I Cant go out to lunch with the guys if I dont have any money on me.

I also am portioning out meals & snacks for the whole day: (weigh everything!!! and record the calories!! You will then know exactly how much you are eating during the day....and you can punish yourself for fudging by having to drink 32 ounces of water ;) ....lol

EXAMPLE meals that I am doing for a day:
oatmeal with raisins 6:00,
banana at 10:00,
lunch at 11:30 (food varies....I am making Lunch my big meal)
mixed nuts 2:30
Dinner 6:00 ( chicken or fish, with lots of hot veggies, and a salad.)

I have been doing the restricted portioning for a few days, and I havent had any hunger pains ..YET. I have 5 meals planned per day, leaving me room to add one if I need to if I see a spot in the day where I am food-insane.

oh...and Brush your teeth at 7:30 or 8:00 at night....so you dont want to get your teeth dirty for the rest of the eve ;)

anyway good luck to you, we all are in this together.

here is my diary: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/weight-loss-diary/24000-100-pounds-1-year.html

Thanks everybody for the support. I did HORRIBLE this weekend. I had no choice but BAD FOOD ALL WEEKEND LONG. I had to go out of town and couldnt really make a good choice in the restaurants that we went to....

I will focus this week to do better..........
 
This past week I did horrible in my dieting....... Me and my wife went to the Fair and I ate bad.

I don't think I will hit my Goal this month......

:(
 
My story is exactly the same as yours but I am 27 and weigh 180. I am going for a weight of 140. Some people may not think 180 is too large but I basically put 40 lbs of fat on my chest, waiste, and face in the last 6 months.

That is awsome you are doing the elipticle machine 60 mins a day. I am doing the same. I am going to follow your progress.

If we just stick to our current regimen then we will easily hit 150 by newyears.

The fact you lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks is awsome. That's 10 lbs a month which is about the max your body can lose. You are obviously doing everything perfect. Just stick to it and each month will be 10 lbs. So four months from now you will have 40 lbs less fat hanging off your body.

My knees used to hurt too. I recomend just doing the elipticle until you lose 30 lbs then try running again.

Thank you for actually reading the thread and commenting about it. I will follow your progress too. Thanks a lot!! :seeya:
 
How are things going for you?? Back in 2004 I weighed 230 pounds, and had decided that I wanted to lose weight. I got down to 197 and I sat there until 2006. In 2006 I decided that I wanted something more so I started exercising hardcore, within 5 months I dropped 47 pounds. In June of 2006 I was at 150 pounds, because of all of the exercise and toning that I did I ended up wearing a size 12 jeans and my waist went from a 42 to a 34. Then in Dec of 2006 I found out I was expecting and I gained a ton of weight. My son is now nearly 1 year old and I am sitting at 170 pounds. My goal is to get back to where I was, but now I have a full time job and a total of 3 children, which makes it more difficult than it was before to lose this weight. I know it is hard, but it is a choice you have already made. You are losing weight and obviously feeling better about yourself. Keep going, it is worth it.
 
Congratulations! You must feel so good about yourself right now, theres nothing better than loosing weight your confidence seems to go through the roof! :D
 
10/17/2008 Update:

It takes soooooo long for me..... I'll keep you guys posted


Thanks
 
put your mind to it and you can do it. it never seems to come off fast enough but it will if you keep it up.
 
Well I want to provide how I am loosing my fat ass weight…….. (Excuse my French!)

I am eating 5 – 6 small meals a day
Usually around 250 calories each.
I usually go for a walk for about 1 hour (4 times per week)
I drink 1 diet Zero Coke at work in the morning and Water the rest of the day.
Bring my lunch at work and don’t eat out AT ALL! Fast Food is your worst enemy…… NO NO! Your non-dieting friends are your worst enemy.

Starting Weight= 210
Current Weight= 199

I’ll keep you guys posted.
 
No one is reading this I guess.. anyways I will provide some updates:

Beggining Weight 09/15/2008 = 210 pounds
Current Weight 11/03/2008 = 193 pounds

Currently NOT eating out AT ALL!
Currently drinking water only!
Currently exercicing at least twice a week. (Im going to increase in this one at least 4 times a week)

Thats all
Thanks!
 
Great job. Just read through your thread and it was encouraging. I started out in March of this year at 253 and this morning the scale said 203.5. I can't wait to get under that magical number of 200. It has been years since I have been below that but I am determined to get to at least 180. Anyway, keep up the good work and keep writing!

Even though your weight loss is slow now, if you stick to the plan that you have above, you will see the weight fly off.

You have a pretty solid plan there my friend.

i know it feels like the weight loss is slow but you seem to be losing at a decent rate actually. the first post in this thread was in june and by july you had lost 11 pounds. you have to manage your expectations. instead of hopping on a scale every week and hoping for huge losses try mapping it out. look at a calendar and see how long it will take you to reach a goal weight if you lose 1 pound a week. as the ball gets rolling ull stop looking at the small picture and ull look at the big picture.

no updates since july...how are you doing now that its november?
 
keep up the good work man.

I weigh387 pounds, down from 3 weeks ago of 395. Its a slow process but worth every foot you put down on that tread mill!
 
Update: I am at 189 Pounds
Started at 210

Everything continues to be the same. Just added some LIPO 6X supplement for fat loss.

Sorry guys, Its being a lONG time since I posted something here about my progress.

I started at 201 and now Im at 179 pounds. As a reminder, I want to be at 150 again when I was in college. I am dropping pounds but I am loosing them very slow.....

I am taking care of myself and eating right with low fat and watching EVERYTHING i eat. I also go to the gym 5 times a week.

My knee problems persist but instead I walk real slow (2.0 mph) yeah I know its a pain to walk that slow but I can NOT do it fast otherwise my knees give up and pain will come later that evening or the next day preventing me to do ANYTHING like normal walking.

Anyways, thanks for reading and I need a little motivation please. Thank you guys!
