i stick to a diet Sun-Friday. Saturday for me is limited diet day, i go to gym in morning but I also go out with my friends later that evening for drinks; i try to leave myself with a surplus of extra calories just incase i get the drunk munchies one day wont ruin you

6 months before I was supposed to get married my fiancee broke everything off. I had to reevaluate aspects of my life and weight was one I was going to change

I am in process but almost down 80LBs [img][/img]

I have my drinks and dont worry about that day I just make sure to get back on track the next day

if you had a bad day calorie wise just move on and get back on track. I only drink on Saturdays, and I try to leave myself spare calories during the week to offset what I do

this happens sometimes when I go to family parties and we cook a lot of good food, I log what I can and just figure i am over that day but one day over wont kill you, you get back on track the next day

My goal is to drop 140lbs I know its a marathon not a sprint. I got to a point in my life where I said I want to do something for me. I also have enjoyed the fact i can shop at regular stores for clothes for the first time in many years rather than the more expensive big and tall places

I have been getting a sleeve tattoo I add to it for every milestone I hit my upper arm is done now and I am almost halfway to my goal

I will usually have a shake before I go to bed I use dymatize elite xt in either blubbery muffin or banana nut both flavors are good. I have them with water

I have not given up anything I just cut down on portions and maybe do fast food once or twice a month

for me since I work out 5 days a week I have 5 different sets of workout clothes and everything gets washed on Saturday and I have not had any issues

I have been transitioning to smaller clothes I keep one or two larger items then donate the rest

you dont have to give it up, I only drink on Saturdays as long as you are still at a deficit it wont hurt your weight loss

with exercise it gives you a bit of a surplus so it would be 1200 + whatever the exercise is you may not be eating enough so you go into starvation mode

I always thought that if the weight is lost slowly over the course of months your body adapts and the skin has time to adapt as well i only ever see loose skin on people who lost an extreme amount of weight a very short time frame

I tried to do multiple small meals through out the day and it never worked for me I now only do 3 meals a day and have had much more success with that

start slow maybe some dumb bells and wegiht bench you can get those cheap and you can do a lot of things with them

When i started in October I was 340

I have been dieting and working out since October and i have not given up booze. I only usually drink on Saturdays So i try to make sure that during the week i stay under my calorie goal so I have a bit of extra to play with I also watch what i drink, I rarely touch beer I mostly go with rum or whiskey and diet cola

I just started to replace my wardrobe its both good and bad. Great that I need smaller stuff, bad since it makes my wallet hurt sometimes

This happened to me with my Brother who is heavier, He would poke fun at me, but after a my family and friends started to notice I was looking great and all of the compliments I got from them I was able to turn the table and made him start to diet and work out

There was in incident that caused me to re-evaluate my life. one of the things I took from it was that i was tired of being the "big" dude

This is what I do

There are no single mold for losing wight everyone is different

This!

tell them humans were designed to to eat meat, them smack them in the face with a hot dog!

I get up around 645 I have a greek yogurt and then I am off to the gym and then work after the gym on my way to work after the gym I grab a coffee and this is usually around 930 we try to have lunch around 1230 or 1. I usually have dinner when i get home around 630 or 645 then I have a protein shake before going to bed at…

when I started i was a size 50 , I hate clothes shopping so I waited until my friends started to joke around with me that I was swimming in my clothes before I started replacing stuff in the 5 months I have been going Ive dropped two pant sizes and am now a 46 and my went from a 4xl shirt to a 2xl shirt. it has been great…

Good Luck! patience and hard work will get you to your goal

Including changing and shower time I am spend about an hour at the gym
