no that was a false start. to win you need to get down to 158.6 pounds before someone else loses 20%. good luck but more importantly good job.You guys must have missed it. I already declared victory. I started in May when I was 250 pounds and got the jump on all your lazy rears.
Just weighed in today at 198.3.
247 this morning.
I actually had a doctors appointment on Friday and despite some of the speculation, I have not had any chest pain, nor was I evaluated or treated for any urgent or acute issues. Specifically, I did not undergo any specialized cardiac or neurologic evaluations. Healthy as an ox.

That's a solid first week.
If you don't come back weighing more than when you started, you're doing something wrong.
Okay, week 1 down 1.6%. And I started in June but needed to if I want to get to my goal before my son's wedding. I am still on track to be there which is pretty exciting.
Haha, no. Remember I started almost 5 months ago so I am losing slower than I was back then. Plus I am old and female which is generally slower as well. I am very happy with my loss this week.

Nice work!
Hey all, I have a question related to diet for everyone. I could really use some help.
It pretty much doesn't matter what I eat (healthy/unhealthy) or how much of it I eat, when I am finished, I just blow up like a flippin' sow and I'm miserable and often times, very tired. I have been skipping breakfast the past few months and try to eat a reasonable amount (not a ton) at lunch, but I'm still having issues. Today, for example, I had a bowl of miso soup and some chicken lettuce wraps that were very lightly seasoned.
Anyone with similar experiences or am I just catching the deads or the HIV? As part of this weight loss deal, I am starting back at the gym tomorrow and when I'm lifting regularly, my appetite really gets cranked up. This makes me not even want to eat.
Thanks in advance.

by "blowing up" do mean having diarrhea or do mean being bloated? or something else?
Sounds like swallowing too much air while eating or drinking (also by drinking soda) can cause that, as well eating high fiber foods. So if you had miso soup and washed it down with a soda...
I have soda with lunch (but didn't today), maybe 50% of the time and if I do, it might be 1/2 of a can along with a glass of water. I don't have it with dinner anymore at all.
its with any kind of food? I’ve heard people with gluten or milk allergies have this kind of reaction. Is there anything that you consistently eat?
It is any kind of food, for the most part. That said, if it is bread/carb heavy or super salty, the effect is worse.
You actually should stop skipping breakfast. You don’t need to eat a lot but you need to eat and get the metabolism going. When you don’t, your body goes into starvation mode, slows the metabolism and holds onto the fat in one’s system. So I would start with eating breakfast.
With lifting, you’re definitely going to see an increase in appetite due to the body needing more protein to fuel the muscles and from you kicking the system into gear and burning more calories. I assume you’re also doing cardio during the week too?
With the GI issues, is it every type of food that’s causing the blowouts?
Hit 200 today. Now down 60 lbs from rock bottom. 20 more to go.
Slow grind man...day to day....week to week. No easy shortcuts. Aim for -500 calories deficit a day, 3500 a week= 1 pound.
Biking, swimming, jogging, rinse repeat.
When I go to the gym, I'm out in under an hour. It's usually 2/3 weight training and 1/3 cardio. I always lift first.
With the GI stuff, doesn't matter what or how much I eat at lunch or dinner. I am bloated, miserable and tired afterwards. I am going to start doing a protein shake on my way to work in the morning so I'm at least getting something for breakfast. I use them for meal replacements sometimes too.
I'm starting a new diet/ workout regimen next week. goal is to lose 40lbs by January 18th.
35 min of hard cardio and 45 min of lifting. Last time I did this I lost 70lbs in two months. I eat really clean Mon-Fri, and do whatever I want Saturday and Sunday.
How much do you currently weigh? Theoretically, in order to lose 40 pounds in 8 weeks you would need to be in a caloric deficit of about 2,500 calories per day. To maintain that type of deficit, your maintenance calories must be in excess of 5,000 per day.
302. I weighed 290 when I started this exact workout/diet routine in 2015 and lost 71lbs in 10 weeks. I dont get into the science behind it, I just know the results it produces because I've done it before.
The intermittent fasting crowd would disagree. I don't know the details, but there is a purported biochemical response.
I fast in the morning simply because it's an effective tool for calorie control. I tend to binge eat more in the evenings.
I think they would say you should not eat in the morning because from the last time calories pass over lips at night until you wake up in the morning, you are extending your state during which you body turns to burning reserves and that this increases your metabolism. No idea if this is true or not.
230lbs today. No new exercising, just stopped feeding my face so much
