Yes it worked for me. Similar to your situation when I completed week one I looked ahead and thought no way in the world can I be running 20 minutes straight in a few weeks. However, following the program..............when the time came I tried to attempt it with an open heart and open mind and shockingly I was able to do…

Very impressive sir. Congratulations!

Hi. I have lost my weight by eating whole foods as often as possible and paying close attention to staying under sodium and fat consumption levels. I also drink a ridiculous amount of water. I am convinced that is a big part of it for me as my loss rate drops drastically when I am not doing so. I typically eat 1200 -1500…

Consumed mostly whole foods, drank high volumes of water and exercise 6 days per week 60-120 minutes

hello Christopher, I do not have a scientific answer but I can share my experience. I have been trying to regain control of my health for 3 years or so. About a year ago I started taking water consumption very seriously. It has in fact impacted my weight loss. I began drinking a ridiculous amount usually 20-25 8 ounce…

Yes. I was as addicted to fast food as a person could be and it made me "biggest loser" big. My solution is still considered not good but it has helped me kick the other habit. For some reason a glass of coke zero gets me past craving other junk. There is some sodium in it and other things that probably aren't good but…

Well, for me the only way this works is if I am generally really strict on my diet. I am not skilled enough to pull off the moderation thing yet. As I had a long row to hoe I set up a schedule of milestones and at each one I have a celebration meal that I plan and look forward to. After that I go back to my healthy plan.…

For me the most important part of making the change that I continue to work on is deciding to do it for myself and placing the responsibility for my obesity on me. (where it belongs) It is hard to look around and not acknowledge that The U.S. has a huge obesity issue. There are many reasons I suppose but for me it is habit…

Hello. I am not smart enough to figure out the science of it as it all confuses me to be honest. However, early on I read about the general rule of avoiding things like white rice, potatoes and bread. So I cut all of that out. I also was looking for something healthy to fill out my meals and I turned to sweet potatoes. The…

Hello. At my largest weight (565) I had serious back issues. I had trouble losing without exercise as you seem to be experiencing. After struggling for a while someone suggested walking in a swimming pool at the Y. That is what got me started and I was able to progress to walking outside to bike riding and finally running.…

565 280 Been working at it for about 30 months. Have 60 more to lose. This is a cool idea as it is nice to see the progress others are making. Thanks sir!

Hello, I find a wide variety of ladies attractive but most anyone can be excellent with a great personality. I mostly wanted to post though to say some of these answers are hilarious!

Hello. I have also experienced these things and it is frustrating. My opinion based on experience is it helps to vary your general routine somewhat from time to time. Looking at your deficits I would say trying to add a little is a good thing to try. Another trick I have learned that has worked is mixing up the intensity…

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.

I am a little taller than you and started at 565. I absolutely have felt the same way you do. I can offer some advice. I have gone the route of trying to eat whole foods or non-processed foods as often as possible. Set small goals and try to pile up as many solid "healthy" days as possible. Do not underestimate even the…

Aprile! I am in the challenge to meet new people, learn some new exercises and for the fun of completing challenges. Bonus completed as well.

Turkey Meatloaf, kind of invented my own variation of it. Used lean ground turkey and added chopped up black beans for nutritional value. Also, baked sweet potato fries. http://stephandclinteatvegetables.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/338/ Also completed the 2 mile jog (slowly, bahahahaha)
