How to lose weight?

**Sly** · 05-02-10, 03:02 PM

I started dieting on March 2. Today 2 month's later I am 33 pounds lighter. I feel great. I'm able to exercises much easier. When I started I thought I would reach my target weight sometime in August, now I think I will hit it in late June. I want to lose about 26 more pounds. I have weighed as much as 258. When I started dieting I weighed 244.4 today I weigh 211.4.

Counting Calories. No secret, if you burn more calories than you ingest you lose weight. The more you burn than ingest the quicker you lose weight. I stick around 1600 calories a day and usually under 30 grams a fat. Eat my main meal as early in the day as possible then much on fruits and veggies the remainder of the day. Try to drink lots of water.(important).

Congrats Sly. I look forward to hearing another update after you've lost the next 26 pounds.

A few years ago I dropped about thirty pounds after a period of eating like crap with my then girlfriend, now wife. Cutting out sugar drinks, snack food, and fast food is what really did it for me. I still have those from time to time, but they're definitely the exception to my regular eating.

Exactly. I went from 230 to 175 this way. Granted I wasn't necessarily eating healthy, I was just watching my calories.

It's simple really...PUT DOWN THE FORK!!!

Great job. Losing weight is a pain.

My secret is packing a lunch(no fast food) and not buying junk food. Plus, I can become an exercise nut.

I really have very little weight to lose but I've gained a couple inches at the waste over the past few years and really want to lose them so I can fit into some old clothes,....problem is it requires cardio ...
