Weight loss help/advice

A couple of years ago, I came back from a road show 23 lbs. heavier than when I left. My wife told me I had sleep apnea and I was feeling like excrement. I stopped eating sugars (other than from fruit) and most carbohydrates (potatoes, bread, etc.). Without doing anything else, I dropped that weight and a bit more. Better yet, my sinuses cleared up, I feel better and have more energy. Perhaps I have a mild intolerance to grains, but I don't know anyone that hasn't done the same and felt better within a week.

Best of luck, man.

 

Went from 295 in January 2011 to 210 now (and still losing)

It takes a conscious decision to say enough is enough. I "tried" losing weight in the past, but never really stuck to it. This time, i did. It took me to look at a picture of myself at 295 to be totally disgusted and want to really do something about it. At a high-level, here is what i did.

1) Cardio 5-6 times a week, between 40-60 min. Started slow, but progressively did more and more. At first i had shin splints from running 4 mins, now i can run a half-marathon in under 2 hours.
2) Calorie intake, at the beginning i was limiting myself to 1000-1500 calories a day. I now prob eat 2000 calories a day, but when you burn 1000 from a 60 min exercise daily, it really helps
3) I did have a "little" help. Took ephedra extract pills.
4) Gave up soda, started drikning coke zero, and recently been trying to give that up to, drinking juices and what not.

Let me know if you want anymore info/tips

 

27, but people in my family just don't get that big. My dad doesn't eat great and drinks lots of beer and is 56 and doesn't have any kind of gut at all. I'm super active as well, I doubt weight will ever be a problem.

 

Every morning I eat 2 hard boiled eggs, a Carnation Instant breakfast, a packet of oatmeal and a yogurt. Then plug my nose and down extra caffeinated coffee.

^Thats where its at right there.

 

That's kind of amusing.....your dad is the same age as me.

 

You're easily amused, my friend.

 

You eat like an old woman

 

Thats during the weekdays. I wake up take a shower and am out the door in 20 minutes.

During the weekend, its eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. Preferably the orange flavor.

What do you eat, playa?

 

....and that's a good thing.

He who laughs.......lasts.

 

Idk

I just felt like trolling

 

Never said it was bad.

However, listening to Buckaroo's games when your parents think you're asleep is of the devil.

 

That's true. I was a little devil.

 

Daily walking and lots of water are more effective than people think, but the quicker you get that 2 year old into sports the quicker you'll see real results.

 

I was a bowling alley truant. MARIS could tell you stories.

 

You were kinda like Bender from the Breakfast Club weren't you?

 

Who, me?

 

You poor saps. I keep my weight at 129. Every morning I eat...well have a look for yourself.

You need to buy a vowel in more ways than one.
