Well since then i gained 50 pounds and down to 280 or so again. these pics are me at 260





and some from me now






i still weigh the same as in the pics which is about 280 or so i just cant seem to get any more off i do cardio for an hour a day on my bike on a trail here in that has hills and such i also lift some weight to keep the muscle i do have in my upper body i think its mainly my diet i just cant seem to keep it under control which seems to be the biggest challenge of anyone trying to lose weight and looking at my pics from a couple years ago getting down to 260 just really makes me depressed well ill go for now
 
Hey. Congrats on losing the weight that you have. That is a big accomplishment in itself. I really know how hard it is to keep your diet in check. I struggle with it all the time. Some things that have helped me this time have been:

1. Eating more frequently. I have trained my body to eat now every 2-3 hours, so by the time the end of the day comes I have eaten probably 6-7 times. When you do this I have found it is a lot easier to control portion sizes. I used to freak out about small or correct portion sizes but, now I know I will be eating within at least 3 hours anyways, so it's not that big of a deal to me. I sometimes post my menu for the day in my journal, if you want to check it out. Usually pretty "clean" foods, and I try to stay within about 1800-2000 cals.

2. Keeping a food journal. I have been doing this for sometime but, only within the last few months did I track the time I ate, the amount, the cals, and the protein grams. It helps keep you in check big time. I used to pretend like calories didn't exist but, in fact they do and knowing how many calories your consuming is very important in trying to lose weight.

Doing those two things alone and doing them correctly could help you out tons. If you can commit to doing those things wholeheartedly for a month, they will become habit. That is how I got myself into doing it. What your eating is so important when your losing weight. You don't want all your hard work from exercising to go to waste because of a poor diet. It isn't worth it, trust me :) I still have my cheats, and believe me I am no where near 100% perfect. I have my slip ups, my days when I feel like I've fallen off the wagon, etc. I just have to recommit immediately, and I do. Losing weight and getting healthy is a process, and not one that happens overnight....

Good Luck, hope this helps.

Perhaps you should check the forums under 'The Harsh Truth' and let the pros work out what you're doing wrong to not loose.
The loss you have done now is great though :)
