Thanks for bringing this guy to my attention. Wish I could send the fasting and weight loss articles back in time to my fatter self. I spent a lot of time figuring out the stuff he lays out so plainly (plus he's entertaining).

I eat an insane amount of Halo Top Chocolate Ice Cream. It's the cheapest way calorie-wise for me to beat the chocolate cravings I have several times a week. Anything less than a pint of ice cream just makes me feel like snacking even more right after. A whole pint of Halo Top chocolate is only 280 calories and you don't…

Height: 6'0 SW: 263 CW: 165 GW: 145 maybe? Not sure.

I have to shorten some of my neck ties because they don't have to travel all the way over my extra belly anymore!

Ok.. but will I see results without bulk and cut cycles?
-
I lost 100lbs last year without being very smart about such things, so I ended up very "skinny-fat". What is your opinion on lifting three days a week and increasing calories those three days (as opposed to long bulk and cut cycles)? Honestly, bulking freaks me out because I can really see myself picking up old habits.
-
Good point. I don't know. I'd heard that chocolate causes acne and mine cleared up when I mostly gave it up when I started logging my calories, so it seemed a reasonable assumption that was the culprit.

I lost 100 lbs in 2016. You can do it!
-
That's an amazing transition!

I just lost 100 lbs and I'm brand new to maintenance. Open diary. I'd welcome any new friends!
-
Good question. I think next year's resolution will be to keep off the weight and hopefully build a bit of muscle too. I'm cautiously finding my maintenance now.

I basically only eat dinner and sometimes a snack at bedtime and it works great for me. If I eat breakfast I find I'm hungrier at lunchtime and if I eat lunch I'm hungrier at dinnertime. I'm not sure why.

Now I'm wondering if I don't burp nearly often enough ;)

I don't follow any formal schedule because I find it easier to follow very few strict rules along with lots of general guidelines that I don't follow strictly. My formal rule that I MUST follow is, "Never go over the daily calorie limit unless staying under the limit would be rude or annoying to someone else." My general…

Male, 36, 6' here. I started at 263 in January, but I'm down 90 lbs so far this year. Everyone should feel free to add me as a friend.

Tess, no one ever gets my Greatest American Hero reference. Solidarity!

Thanks to everyone who offered advice. Sunny, I added the dumbell excercises you mentioned to my workout this morning and feel great. Working muscles I didn't know I had, lol. It feels more balanced now.
-
Thanks. I'll try those dumbbell excercises you suggest.
-
That makes sense. I'll not worry about logging them. I just wanted to dive in completely and log everything, but I guess that's more important for food. Thanks!

I've been tempted by a donut for two days now. It became a philosophical argument in my head at some point about whether me and future-me are enemies or not ;) I think I understand where you are coming from. I'm going to pass on the donut again today. Go have your walk!
