I love losing weight.

[KK]

[Coquito]

time: Four months of going to the park every other day for some hours & sitting on my ass for a long while every off day.

I eat like crap, so I was amazed.

 

[y2kc]

March: 210

Today: 162

goal: lose 7 more pounds of fat then start bulking. my goal weight is 170-175 (ripped).

 

[Modeps]

I'm roughly 245 at 6'3". I'd like to lose, but I dont know where to start. Plus I'm lazy so that doesnt help.

 

[edro]

[bleeb]

[Arkitech]

meal suggestions

what are you guys eating to lose weight

 

[Orsorum]

My goal is 195 lbs; I've started running/walking and doing pushups/crunches/curls daily for the last six weeks.

 

[Fausto]

I'm down 25 lbs since the start of the race season back in March. I'm looking to drop another 20 or so during winter training for next season.

As for what I'm doing, basically I just ride my bike 10-15 hours per week (I'm sure you guys guessed this), and don't eat crap. I also make sure not to stuff myself at any given meal and the weight's coming off at a reasonable pace. I personally find this approach much easier than having to follow some diet du jour.

Good for you!

In the past 5 months, I've lost about 25 lbs (from 215 to 190) and just stayed there. I really didn't exercise that much, and only watched my eating occasionally. I'm happy about it, but I could lose another 10 lbs.

My plan is to upgrade to the next category for road racing next year, so I really have to get the extra poundage off if I'm going to be competitive. Not only am I hauling useless weight up hills, but VO2 max is ml of oxygen per minute per kilogram. Less fat = highter aerobic capacity.

 

[slickcat]

last year over the course of 6 months I went from 212 down to what I am now at 168. I would love to lose about 10-15 more pounds. I'm 5'8 and mostly muscle now.

What is this the year to lose wieght around here or what?

This year i went from a whopping 310lbs to 210lbs... I'm 6'4"

Keys to my success, Diet and excersize.

I run roughly 4 to 5 times a week, 3-5miles, walk another 2-3miles
but you have to build up to a workout like that, start at a mile, and work up from there

Diet, wasn't any of these fad diets, I just started watching calories, and fat mostly
Although you can't/shouldn't eliminate fat from the diet, its very easy to eat too much, so, that is why i watch it so closely. My diet was basically a 20%fat/30%Prot/50%carb diet

My type of would be...

Total cereal w raisins, and skim milk
Soy Mix shake with Low Fat Vanilla Soy, Banana, and 1/2 a tablespoon of light peanut butter.
BBQ Chicken Breast(Stubbs BBQ sauce) over white or brown rice
Chili, using 93%fat free ground meat
Home made Pea Soup... more like a Pea stew when im done with it
Home made Beef Barley Soup... again, more like a stew
Turkey kielbasa, sour kraut, and rice
and many more meals

At work for lunch i found some restaraunts that can accomodate my diet too
Quiznos has a line of light/lowfat sandwiches
Chicken out has several lowfat/nofat sides, and pulled BBQ chicken, or just plain pulled chicken
Subway... but i don't go there much
Baja Fresh has a few lowfat options too, like the Bare bowl

Basically watch the labels, and look up your nutritional information. Understand what is on the labels, and why your body needs different nutrients.

WTF?!?! Since when does a reasonable diet and regular exercise result in weight loss?

Yeah, cutting out the beers really helped as well. That was definitely my source of junk calories.

I bet if I really cut down on beer I could lose that weight. I'm trying to watch what I eat though, but cutting down beer is gonna bother me....

Nah, just have fewer beers or only have beer one day of the week or something. You might as well not bother if you're going to drink that low-carb pisswater.

Pretty soon thats all that will be available anyways.

You need to come to GA and peruse our newly-legalized high grav beers. I bought a bottle of Chimay just the other day.

The thing that really kept me honest was knowing that I had races coming up. I've been much more careful about my diet and hydration this year and it really paid off with race results.

 

[Murphyrulez]

251 down to 229 in 3 months so far. Headed for 190. Using weightwatchers.com point system.

 

[CptObvious]

I started dieting in July of last year, when I was 178. I'm now down to 150, plus I put on some muscle. I took a long time to lose the weight but I think it helped me keep it off.

 

[kevman]

210 ----> 152

Started running 5 times a week, three miles, mostly on the treadmill, but have started outdoor recently as well. cut out dairy and meat in favor of Soy products and protein shakes

Running is awesome....

 

[Gurck]

265 -> 200 in about 3 months around five years ago, 6'1". Ironically now I'm back up to almost 250... a lot more muscle mass though. Ephedrine & jogging.
