Me: 22 6'3 starting weight 455lbs


Also me: 25 215lbs


Biking 15-40 miles a day, maintaining a 12-1700 calorie day diet for 3 years.


But this current version of me decided that he missed having muscle and being able to lift things:

27 240bls


2200 calorie a day high protein diet.

Great job everybody, if I can do it you can do it too. It's all about finding the small things that trip us up and finding the little things the move us forward,

It's also important to take a long-term view of things. This isn't just doing some changes for a week or two. This is about changing a lifestyle and looking for changes that can be permanent.

Yes.

Reflect long term what we've done in the past that's caused us to be unhealthy, then make a long term plan that will correct those errors. Then constantly adjust to what's working, what's not and what techniques are beneficial to what the end goals are.

If it helps, early on compare the new lifestyle to something that is already an interest to you. For me, I was "building up character stats." i.e stamina and then strength. Nerdy? Yes. Effective? Hell yes.

I did my weigh in today and saw I was down 26.2lbs since 1/14/2015 (287lbs at my peak).  I stopped drinking all Mountain Dew and caffeine on the advice of my doctor that day.  I am currently using the Lose It app to project a 1lb/week weight loss (~2400 calories/day).  I was averaging at least 6 to 12 Mountain Dew's per day.  I am usually drinking just plain water since I can't stand sugar free diet drinks.  I have been using an elliptical trainer at work and at home (sometimes at both locations) or treadmill.

I can honestly say this is probably the best I have felt in years.  I am anxious for some regular warmer weather so my family and I can start going to our walking trails and walking outside at work during lunch.

Sodas, including diet ones, are death in a can.  You're far better off drinking water.

At numerous times in history, like in the 1850s during the Cholera outbreaks, folks turned to fermented beverages because they figured out drinking dirty water got them stick, but beer was GTG.

I usually get all of my medical advice from networking forums. Guess I'll have to rethink this.

Well, I'm a former medical professional and can confirm that drinking alcohol long term weakens the immune system.
