I've lost 60-80 lbs 3 different times.......I slipped...and now I'm back for the final one. I'll echo what several have already said. Stop cold turkey all diet sodas/diet waters/drinks etc.....drink plain ice water or carbonated water. Fake sugars cause an insulin rise in many people and will tell your body to store fat…

Exercising will increase your appetite, but should allow you to eat more calories. I would stick to protein and veggies rather than incorporate "Wraps". If a "balanced" meal was the answer, then we wouldn't have a problem, would we?

You need to consume between .7-1.1 grams of protein a day for every 1 pound of LEAN body weight. NOT your total weight, but your lean pounds. You can get a BMI reading to ascertain your lean body weight. Since you are active you need closer to the 1.1 gram per pound than the .7. Did you know that egg white is 100% protein…

In addition to eating more, I'll throw in Intermittent Fasting. Do a search on here and you'll find links to sources to read. It purportedly helps people break through their plateaus.

Check out Dr. Mark Hyman's Blood Sugar Solution.

Here is a great resource for you. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/#axzz2OETNimGl

There are plenty of guys on here. Just do some searches and watch these forums, especially sucess stories. I started at 405 lbs. You'll find plenty of inspiration if thats what you truly want.

It's not a fad. Check out www.marksdailyapple.com Name me one other lifestyle choice change for the healthier where you can stop following it and not revert back to your former self. As others have stated, for the insulin resistant, its a extremely effective. Do some research on body chemistry and nutrition.

Eat more protein, animal protein. Stay away from anything that even tastes sweet, even if it has 1 calorie.

Lonely? There are a ton of us. You aren't looking too hard. Check out all the success stories of those that lost well over 100lbs. I read a success story the other day from someone who lost over 300lbs!!! When you start to feel sorry for yourself, think about those people and where they started. You have to WANT to lose…

Try to find a doctor-assisted weight loss program in your area. I lived in a rural area and there was one in my town. I'm now in a metropolitan area and there are several. I know what you're going through. Using phentermine to curb your appetite and get your mind to stop thinking about food 24/7 is well worth it. You'll…

Holy Cow! Congratulations and wow! 375???? That's unheard of. Incredible.

Non fat plain greek yogurt with macerated blueberries, stevia and sugar free vanilla syrup....mmm mmmm good. Eggs, bacon, natural peanut butter with no sugar, green apples, and last but not least, steak if I can afford it.

Are you F'in kidding me?!!! Wow!! You don't even look vaguely like the same person!!! Congratulations man! Incredible!

Incredible man. Way to go. I thought I had it hard starting at 405lbs. Well, I did....but you had it a lot worse. What you have done is awe-inspiring and a rare achievement. What an inspiration. If you haven't already, we'd love for you to share how you did it.

Wow....you have a very sexy body.

Hey, it's ALL NATURAL! So how bad could it be, really.

Do people who aren't overweight, think that we, the overweight, don't know we are fat? What good does it do to tell someone what they already know!? Except to make that person feel superior. A much better message to relay is that "I am deathly afraid you aren't going to still be alive next Christmas and I can't bear to…

Thanks again, it does help.

Holy crap you look like a different person! Wow. You look incredible! Way to go! I personally like the longer hair.

The research I've read says 1 gr protein per 1 lb of LEAN BODY MASS, NOT your TOTAL weight. You'll need a BMI to get an indication. And the 1 gr is MINIMUM for someone NOT running daily.....it's 1.7 gr per lb of lean body mass MINIMUM for someone very active like you. You may want to stop stressing your body so much and…

sorry, I dozed off....what'd you say? :)

You've lost 5% of your fat. If you weigh 130 lbs, you've lost about 6.5 lbs of fat. Cut back on your carbs and decrease the frequency of your cardio, and add some weight resistance and see what happens.

Wow. One thing I'm curious about; you said you did low carb to lose weight at first. How long did you do it and how much did you lose? But then when you made the switch and I presume, increased your carbs, did you gain any weight back? What did you do to counter the additional carbs? Step up your workouts? Thanks for…

In.....FRig.....in.....cred.....i.......ble!

You look like a totally different person! WTG!

Holy crap. You look fantastic. WTG.

Thanks for the inspiration, and great job man!

Wow. Incredible job!
