you should weigh about 215 for 6'3. im 6'4 at 205 with a 36 in waiste no gut though ! my goal is 230 but no matter what i do cant gain...

 

That was a good sandwich huh

 

I was going to say I'm in too. But seeing John's post that you should be 215 at 6'3", my 210 at 6'2" doesn't seem too bad.

But I still want to drop down to 185...

 

You can always "Bolt on" 25 pounds! Know a good plastic surgeon?

 

You can always just hang around fatter people....did someone mention a meatball sandwich? If only someone could apex the eating-curve for us....

But seriously.....dial-in some form of solid cardio 2-3x per week and you'll be very happy with the results. Knock-off the big calories towards the evenings: think of an airplane making a crash landing.....you wanna land with empty tanks. Eat your big meals and endulge yourself with breakfast & lunch, go lean into the night....

Irregardless of your weight, the circulatory system is where it's at: it's more unhealthy to avoid exercise then being heavy: get your cardio! For me it's the mountain bike...

ribs anyone?

 

Hey now! At least I can beat you guys in one measure.. 315's baby! Good luck finding someone who will give those away for free.

I'm up for another trip to meatball heaven, but this time it needs to be a'rrabiata.. no weak sauce for the skinny dude!

John, fat blokes (like me) loath people that can say "no matter what I do cant gain.." Nothing personal you understand?

I'm about 245 and 6' 4", so go on... I'm in..... (I need to be!)

All the best
Fatty

 

The quickest way to lose a few pounds ....
.... is to play the British lottery.

 

I like that idea!

 

LOL!

 

Remember to burp to make more room.

 

Im in 30 pounds it is, actually I am trying to get down to my original weight 6 pounds 4 ounces but will see. 192 to 162 in the next 12 weeks.

good luck peter.

 

Aw hell. I guess I am in Peter.

I am around 6'2 and weighed in this morning at 231 pounds. True that much of it is muscle, but the last time I had a body fat analysis done I was at 18% which is a personal worst by at least 7%. I suspect I would be quite solid at 200.

Forget the journal, I'll post what I eat everyday here. Nothing like fellow FChatters to keep one accountable.

SO- I'll up the bet to 31 pounds and commit to having it gone in 72 days by August 3rd 2005. I'll also man up and post a pic of my fat self like Peter did.

I wear a lot of black these days...

I dropped close to 20 pounds over the past month by cutting out soda's, salt and non-homemade soup. I also added about 100oz of water a day.

It's made a huge difference.

 

Having a fever is getting me off to a good start I think I sweat off 15 lbs already this morning!

 

MY REMEDY TO THIS,

HAVE YOUR WIFE OR G/F GO ON THE DIET FIRST

THIS WAY YOUR HOME FOODS AND DINING FOODS WILL BE CURTAILED TO HER NECESSITIES........

OTHERWISE CUT OUT THE BREADS, NO EATING AFTER 6 OCLOCK, AND PLENTY OF H2O...........

IM 5,10 AND 214 LBS....WAS AN EX-PRO HOCKEY PLAYER IN MY DAYS....

SINCE THEN AND MARRIAGE, WENT FROM 180 TO THE WEIGHT IM NOW, GOT A GUT, SO FOLLOW STEPS ABOVE..........

IM WITH YA PETER,

BRUCE

 

Okay okay fine. I don't have many pics of me looking fat in the daytime, it's too easy to hit the delete button on the digicam.

My 5yo took this pic at the Denver Auto Show last month. Since he took it, I kept it.

You can see the offending stomach paunch and the extra chin. ugh.

Goals for today:

Run 3 miles
Jump rope 10 minutes
50 push ups
50 sit ups
No more than 2000 calories, no breads.

Will check in tonight to let you know the outcome.

I lost a few pounds just by giving up breads and also sugar (soda, cookies, doughnuts...damn, i miss some of that). Drinking water is a good idea also. I tried the Atkins diet but I think that was too extreme for me. Good luck to you

 

I lost 42 pounds and went from a size 40 to a size 34 in 12 months on an excercise and diet program. Some keys I learned are: 1)be sure to eat within 30 minutes of first waking up in the morning. If you wait longer your metabolisim will start slowing down causing you to retain fat. 2) eat or drink five meals a day. I will drink a Myoplex-Lite shake for breakfast, drink another one for mid-morning snack, eat a healthy lunch, drink another Myoplex-Lite for mid-afternoon snack and then eat a healthy dinner. Other than that I will eat nothing else.4) I drink a gallon of water a day as well. I drink nothing else at meals but water...period. I will drink a toddy about once a week or so. 5)I also eat no bread, white potatoes or high sugar carb foods. If it is white or comes in a box or bag...don't eat it. 6) I work-out three days a week which has allowed me to drop my body fat from 24% to under 10%. I have never felt better in my life. After about three months you get used to the lifestyle change and will no longer want to live any other way. GOOD LUCK.

 

I'll join too. I need to lose about 40lb as I need to keep my weight as low as possible due to a knee injury, while still being healthy.

I'll post figures tomorrow, but the shots below show me now and half a life ago....

I would like to chime in with my experience, some of you might have seen the pictures with the stripper. That was not how I used to look like. I was fairly overweight when I came to this board. I joined a gym, told my parents not to buy any sweets, ran 2 miles everyday (Not that long, but it works) I did pushups and situps every morning and night like someone else mentioned, and it really made a difference.. Maybe to much, Im a little thin now. I dropped around 10kilos, and now weigh 67kilos with an height of 180cms.

I wish all the best of luck, it can be a struggle, but hang in there, it can be done.

I dont have any before pictures, sadly, but I do have one now (Dont laugh , and I am the one to the right.)
