How much do you weigh?

[fungchen3]

Opt for non-caffeinated diet soda, or, even better, seltzer or soda water since it usually has fewer chemicals

Riz, my go-to drink is seltzer with lime. Very refreshing. If I want a little added flavor, I add a tiny splash of cranberry juice - literally a few drops.

Nice job Stunt! Sounds like you are well on your way.

I am doing my own health journey. Was unkind to my body in my twenties and now at 32 am making necessary shifts to diet and exercise. I had jumped to somewhere around 235 lbs or so (5'11") before having a wake-up moment and have since trimmed about 20 lbs and added some muscle as well. Goal weight is somewhere around 190-195. Not usually an online poster but figured it can't hurt to put it out there. Appreciate reading others journeys.

I haven't been at this weight for almost 3 years now. I can feel a huge difference from when I was 303 I'll tell you that much!

These are my last 10 weigh ins. So far on the year I only lost 3+ lbs once. I'd rather it be 1-2.

278.1	-2.3
277.1	-1
276.4	-0.7
273.8	-2.6
271.7	-2.1
270.2	-1.5
270.1	-0.1
267.4	-2.7
266.1	-1.3
264.2	-1.9

So impressed Stuntman! Clearly, you are going about it the right way. Everyone wants to drop the weight quickly, but you are much more likely to keep the weight off by doing it exactly the way you are. Keep up the great work!

We're not far off in ages. I wasn't kind to my body in my 20s either. 29 years old right now. Haven't been 200 lbs since I was 20 but I could get there by the end of this year. Good luck on your journey!

I wish I could lose it quicker but am no longer in my teens ... lol. This gets harder the older you get I find. All is well so that is the main thing.

I have another weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm already back in the 250's for the first time in about 3 years and at times I get anxiety about going down in pounds. I'm trying my hardest to lose the weight, but I have to get over the anxiety. It's like I'm afraid I'm losing it too fast since I'll be down almost 50 lbs in weight in 6 months. I know I've been averaging roughly 1.8 lbs per week which is within the recommended rate but I can't help but have that feeling lol.

I actually had to give away two of my jackets because they were getting too big on me. They were XXL and ended up giving them to one of my cousins and an older brother.

Congratulations on your progress, that's really an amazing accomplishment!

Regarding your anxiety, I won't even pretend I'm qualified to give you advice - but what I will say is...if you are struggling with anxiety, don't be shy about talking to your family doctor. S/he will be able to tell you if you are approaching things in a good way and should be able to put your mind at ease. Knowledge is power.


We are rooting for you here and hope that you reach your ultimate goal.

Thanks als_revenge! This journey has been one crazy ride and I totally understand when they say this is a marathon and not a sprint. My short term goal is to get under 250, I haven't seen the 240's in about 6 or 7 years now. In reality I think I'm approaching this very well with limiting how much I'm eating and walking an hour a day 5 x a week but I always associated losing weight with being unhealthy or theres something wrong. Also the last time I seen the doctor all my blood tests came back very good so that should put me at ease.

Truly a milestone worth bragging about.

I haven't lost that much since you started this thread a year ago. I'm inconsistent at best, and fall off the wagon because of my far too many "treat myself" days. I am proud to say that my wife has done fabulous since this past March, and has lost 25 pounds using Weight Watchers as her guide. I've tried it too, but again am inconsistent. Too many unaccounted for points. Summer is coming, so maybe I can find something I can stick to.

But again, I'm so happy for you Stuntman. Keep it up.

Now you know how to do it.

[StuntMan12]

Now you know how to do it.

Yeah I remember last year when I was trying this I was spinning my wheels for the most part but I seem to got this down pact now! I notice a big difference looking in the mirror

[2014olympicgold]

That is quite the amount loss, AND you've done it in a healthy matter. Way to go

[RizzeeDizzee]

Every week that you diet successfully is a week further removed from your past unhealthy ways, and, with that, less risk of relapse. This is becoming your new normal, which is great.
