I'm 6'1" and was 220 lbs, now I'm 180 lbs.
I started last March and achieved my goal back in November, now (January) after the holidays, I maintained my weight. :D
How did I do it?
I reduced my portions.
Drank lots of water.
Ate every few hours, healthy snack bars, etc.
Drank coffee, when tired of water.
Didn't eat after 7:00 pm.
I basically made note of my calorie intake, and not restrict myself by avoiding certain foods.
Now to maintain it, I'll eat whatever I want, but will be careful the next day to limit my intake.
So far so good, I'ts working for me....I thought I'd share incase you were planning on dieting.
BTW: Dieting doesn't work, watching your intake does.
I'm actually going to join a gym this month to tone up.
feel free to add your secrets to sucess. :2: |

I lost about 50 lbs after high school, which is when I stopped seriously exercising. About 20 lbs of that was during first year of university, of which I would say about half was lost muscle mass. The other 30 lbs, surprisingly enough, happened during a period of four months where I ate nothing but McDonalds. One McDeal burger (no fries or drink) for lunch, and two for dinner. I weighed 210 in high school, 190 in university, and dropped all the way down to 160 after my "McDonalds Diet". I'm 5'8".
I should talk to McDonalds corporate about being their Jared :4: |

I always had in my mind that I wanted to get down to 200 lbs, 180 lbs was a dream.
What motivated me was seeing a neighbour who was over 300 lbs and was told to lose weight by his doctor, when I saw him and barely recognized him, I knew I could do it.
If your New Year's resolution was to lose weight, it can be done, don't call it a diet, call it a life style change, mentally keep track of what you eat and hold back the next day.
drink lots of water too. :cool: |

You may have lost some weight, but I'd hate to see how "healthy" you are. You should watch Supersize me. |

| I've seen it. I grew up with meat and grease so maybe my metabolism and the rest of my body adjusted to it. I had required checkups done as part of a previous job requirement, and doctors told me I was in perfect health and physical shape. |

MPG improvement?
"BTW: Dieting doesn't work, watching your intake does."
Watching your intake is not a diet? |

Well, good point, I associate "diet" with following someones menu.
I ate whatever, just in smaller portions. :D |
