What I ate while losing the FIRST 150 pounds

moxiecowgirl

LOL I don't eat like this all the time. the whole point is that you don't have to cut out all the "evil" foods. Geeze people.

As for whether or not I can continue to eat this way..... see you in a year or so.

BRAVO!!! I'm betting we see less of you in a year or so. Some people just can't look far enough beyond their own noses to read plain and simple talk when they see it.

You look awesome! Looks like you've found your balance. Way to go!

Losing weight while being morbidly obese is easy. i should know i was pushing 300 at one point. trying to hit your goal weight while eating like that with any regularity is going to be next to impossible.

wrong.

lol

sorry, where are my manners?

You've been around here long enough to see the daily whining from morbidly obese people posting threads that they can't lose, right? You know, the ones who claim they're only eating 1200 calories a day and burning 2000 in exercise?

He isn't eating like that all the time. I see his food diary and it's not that different from mine most of the time. But he does treat himself within his calorie goals from time to time.

Good Lord, how hard is it to understand the word "moderation?"

You're such an inspiration!!! Great loss

I realize that Hoss' food pictures were somewhat overwhelming, but you missed the point... EAT AT A DEFICIT!

Reading is FUNdamental.

eating at a deficit isnt the only part of being healthy. i can eat 2000 cals a day of fried food a day and lose weight but will that make me healthy? no. thats part of my point.

I'm glad for you... but you have just become my undoing.

EASY? -- Really?

yes. its easy. you can eat ridiculous amounts of calories and still lose weight.

Hoss isn't saying that these foods were all that he ate to lose 150 lbs. He is saying that he was able to balance his diet between healthy foods and all this deliciousness so that he could enjoy the foods that he loves and still lose.

I don't really understand the opposition to a message of moderation.

I think there are thousands of people that would disagree with and even take offense to that comment.

^^This...you're kidding, right? Please go read up on basic nutrition before you go spouting pouty jealousy-based crap. And while you're at it, take your butthurt elsewhere. There's no call for being a Negative Nancy, just because he's having success while eating what he likes.

I'm pretty sure losing 150 lbs did make him healthier regardless of how he did it.

You seem to have missed the multitude of threads from people like me who eat real food and still lose weight. Hoss has done an amazing job, lost an incredible amount of weight, and you can't simply say "good job"?

I'm cutting right now, weigh 185 pounds, and had ice cream, an ice cream sandwich and a beer yesterday. This man is an inspiration to anyone thinking they need surgical help and a special diet to lose weight, and he's a hell of an inspiration to me too.

LOVE THE ABOVE STATEMENT - and congrats!!! Amazing job :-)

Can you sit my husband down and explain this to him? He gets cold sweats thinking he can't have brisket ever again.

Awesome job on the loss, and on finding a balance!!

Muddy_Yogi

Hoss man....I said this morning I am eating all zee foods today and then you post this....are you trying to see how far I will go???

WTG on your loss buddy and for all those that think it is so easy....EAT IT...and not the foods he pictured...I am quite sure you know what I mean.

Miss_Meliss86

I've never had deep fried pickles. After reading this, I think its the #1 thing missing from my life right now.

Yes. Yes it is. I am still trying to figure out a GF alternative to this because I MISS THEM SO DAMN MUCH

And I ate no fried foods and had less than 2000 calories yesterday. I also hiked several miles and burned 1500 calories per my hrm. How am I not healthy by having fried foods on special occasions?

Must be a bummer to be so negative.

GiveMeCoffee

Amazing job!! Thanks though now I have to go sit outside DQ and wait for them to open! Then off for some fried pickles!

terlyn20

Pineapple, white bread and mayo sammiches? Not sure about this one. Everything else looks awesome.

You've done great Hoss. Keep it up.

its a southern classic and very delish. try it, i think you'll like. i do. sometimes we add a little shredded chedder over the pineapple. Also for our wedding showers or whatever we mix shredded pineapple with soft cream chees and spread that on the bread and to really show off we will add some chopped pecans.

Ignore these people. What you're doing is fine, although I'd have eaten more calories yesterday. You could also certainly eat more veggies, though I see you are eating some.

Losing weight is simple. It is NOT easy. Your approach is sensible and, obviously, productive. Hit your macros, get some exercise, and enjoy your life.
