Fat people: you have no excuse, and deep down inside, no, you're not happy with the way you are.

Damn pretty good...you carried that 316lbs well.

Congratulations, but it seems that you are losing it from the wrong places, and eating away at fatty muscle tissue instead of the fat itself..

If you're dieting and excercising correctly the first place you would be losing the most mass is around the midsection, and it seems you're losing mass from the arms first.

yeah, it's crazy what changing a few eating habits will do. in december i weighed 195lbs, and in less than 3 months i was down to 165 just from changing my eating habits alone.

Nice job, TD! Keep at it, you are doing great!

Some do. My wife is one of them

With her botched spinal fusion, she's in constant pain and can't walk for more than 15 minutes at a time. She's gained a lot of weight because of it. We're looking into lap-band surgery, but man is it $$$$$$$.

Anyway, I'm glad you did it, but your situation doesn't apply to everyone.

You can still just eat at or below maintenance calories, even without exercise. I can't imagine spending 5 figures on lap band surgery before giving that a try.

Keep it up

Nice Job man! :thumbsup: I have long agreed with your standpoint on losing weight. Eat less, move more. It helped me lose about 50 lbs a few years back. Unfortunately I've been having some issues with my life and lost my will power, and am currently working to get back down to about 195 from 244. My plan: Eat less, move more.

Thanks for the motivation.

Eat less is not the solution.

Eat RIGHT.

I recommend using FitDay.com to record what you're eating, it breaks it down by percentages and calories eaten of carbs, fats and proteins and it gives you a better idea of what you're eating every day.

for me no matter how well I eat, unless I am exercising my body wants to keep 10-20lbs on it. My metabolism is fine, the docs have said it may be because all through puberty I was constantly training / exercising hours a day.

My average was whatever sport I was in each day, 2 hour workouts, 45-60min runs sometimes 2x a day, touch football/volleyball on the weekend, karate a few nights a week, etc.

When I start training I can drop weight incredibly fast, my fastest was during my divorce...I went from 75lbs overweight to about 10lbs under weight in three months. I was literally losing 1+ lb everyday the first month. I actually went in for tests thinking I had cancer. I dropped 8 inches off my waist the first month at least I think...my pants were falling off of me...by the end I went from very tight 46/48's to loose 32's.

Another vote for fitday. Knowing EXACTLY what you eat each day makes it much easier to track progress and make adjustments as necessary. Vague statements like "cut out all soda" and "don't eat after X PM" aren't nearly as useful as actually tracking your calories each day.

For all that ATOT really hates on fat people, we are pleasantly encouraging to those who are working on it. It surprises me sometimes.

How tall are you? You really don't look 300+ in the first pic or 250 in the after, but I think that might be my perception because I'm 5'8".

Congrats, thats a hell of a lot of hard work and I'm glad its working.

About 6'1".

Impressive. What kind of work, just general cardio?

I wouldn't have guessed that was 100 pounds, but good work.
