Hey, I am 27 also. Just wanted to say that you CAN do this! I have dropped 25 pounds in 2 months. I started at 315 and i am now down to 290. I use to eat fast food 2-3 meals a day everyday and now i don't touch the stuff, i use to drink soda all day and haven't touched once since Feb 9th. I always said i would start the…

thanks all.... i hit that elliptical today, even on Easter.

How i have done it. 1) went from eating fast food for almost every meal of the week to maybe 1 meal a week or none at all. 2) replaced all soda, haven't had a soda since Feb 9th. Even if i do eat fast food i get water with it. 3) Using MFP to track exactly what i am eating and putting into my body, also keeping my calories…

I guess i should have mentioned i am 6'0. Thanks for all the tips people. I think ill keep doing about an hour of cardio a day like i have been doing and i am going to add in some weight training like i did this morning. I did reps on the seated press, seated row and the leg press and also did reps with 15 lb dumbells.

THANKS!

LOL, possibly. Maybe my scale lies?

Thanks y'all!

Ya man! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for all the advise and well wishes. The motivation is huge. I also work retail so i am walking a mile and 1/2 each day and burning close to 300 calories 5 days a week at work (according to my pedometer) while working out 6 days a week. I think my low calorie intake so far is because i don't really know how…

Thanks for the words. So far i have been to the gym 6 days a week over the last two weeks and maintained about a 1600-1700 calorie a day diet. So far so good.

Yes its something im trying to maintain. Im not looking to speed through losing the weight. I am trying to curb my food addiction too fast food and things like chips and cookies by substituting healthy alternatives. I haven't felt bad at all yet. My energy is increased (helping that im taking vitamins too) and i feel much…

Ok, i just wanted to make sure i wasn't depriving my body of too many calories. But it would make sense that i have a lot of extra's and to just use that.

I should also say i am trying to hit goals. 25 pounds, 50 pounds, 75 pounds, and 100 pounds.
