Sounds like my kind of people! Finally figured out a diet that works, but is fast and easy! Hard work is a great idea, but easy just works better.

Used to get that too (hoping to start getting it again). Just remind them that you are not getting "skinny", you are getting healthy. If they bug beyond that, then just walk away. Cheers, - Bill

Run Forest Run! Looks like it is going to be alot of training!

@Rylee Noelle 9 for sure!

Honestly, you look 20 years younger! Way to go!!!

Whatever you choose, make sure it is something that you can keep up. The more time you put into it the better. If you only have 30 minutes, then run. If you have a couple of hours, then walk. If you don't feel like doing either, then promise yourself 20 minutes of walking and then increase either the speed or the time as…

Well, I am not a certified anything, but following the formula: 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) + 5 Note: this formula is only for men, women have to subtract 161 instead of adding 5 I found your Basal Metabolic Rate to be approximately 2875 calories for a sedentary life. Using a pedometer to add…

Bump!

Honestly, I don't see any evidence that you are the same person. Make sure you get all of your identification updated, because that is some crazy incredible change you've made there! Fantastic!

Word of advice: If you are worried about things turning ugly, then invite him out for dinner and tell him there. Make sure you have alternative plans that you can fall back on for your safety. Your close friends should be aware of what is going on. Good luck!

Okay, Step 1, eat more: What you are doing is not helping you achieve your goal. You can already see that your progress has stalled. Keeping at this pace will only make it worse. Step 2, be patient: Do not be afraid that your weight will go up a little when you eat. That isn't fat, that is just the food slowly working it's…

Definitely the first one! Of course, you look good in all of them, so whichever one you choose will work great. Cheers!

Really, I weigh myself 3 times a day everyday. First thing in the morning Right after I get home from the gym/work Right before I go to bed I like to know if my weight is going down between when I go to sleep and when I wake up. If the weight doesn't change, then I need to check and make sure I am not slowing down my…

For me the problem is treats. If I have ice cream, then I will give myself WAY too much! So, I bought creamsicles. They are freakin delicious and only 60 calories each! I remind myself that they are there rather than digging into a bunch of other treats with non-fixed quantities and seemingly endless supply of useless…

Understated

Canadian Guy here! I have a couple of suggestions to start: Make sure that you find an activity you enjoy for excersize this is for life after all! Do not drop below your recommended calories to get there faster (again, this is for the long run) Put the scale away, it misleads us too much. You know when you are eating…

Tat free regular joe here!

I would strongly suggest a personal trainer or some else who is qualified to show him how to do it correctly. Stunt his growth???? At 6 feet tall, how much taller does he really want to get? I started weight lifting at home when I was 10 years old. I am 5'11" (just taller than my father) and am very happy I started early.…

Actually, that doesn't prove a thing. There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. It is impossible to gain 3 pounds of fat eating less calories than 1 pound of fat. The being said, there is the weight of the food, and water weight to consider. Your body's weight will fluctuate. Heck, one good bowel movement and you could be…

@BEERRUNNER: Football

Okay, le'ts start with a couple of questions: How long do you workout 4x per week? Do you "reward" yourself for working out? (i.e. calorie laden treats) Do you get a good sweat going while you are working out? Remember, 1 pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 calories. I am 5'11" 205lbs. and when I do a hard hour of cardio I…

41, present!

Broccoli. Nutrient dense and filling.

Sorry, but no. I personally have no problem with someone getting a "lift", but I am not a fan of implants. No offense to the ladies who have gotten implants, it isn't personal, it is just a preference. Cheers!

What? You don't like us any more???? I don't think I'll ever stop. I like the people I have met here. Cheers! :drinker:

Keep in mind that unless you ate 14,000 calories over your maintenance calories, you didn't actually gain 4lbs. Water weight, or simply the food waiting to *ahem* makes it way through you. Note: 14,000 calories is roughly equivalent to 25 Big Macs. In other words, take it easy on yourself. In a couple of days it will just…

Present! You can do it! Just need to put the time in to move! As we get older out metabolism slows down gradually. The only way to counter act that and be able to get enough calories to enjoy life is to keep your body moving! Cheers! - Bill P.S. Feel free to add me if you like

"I can't get you out of my mind" Kylie Minogue

Back in my single days I used to love going out and partying. As a dieter, I found the best way to have a good time was to have either Tequila or Vodka shots spaced out with bottles of water. You still got the good buzz, but very low calories and you don't wake up hung over. Note: avoid the sweeter shots. Alot more…
