BIGGEST LOSER - GUARDIAN *Sticky Please*

This week: Only one lb down to 250, but getting much much stronger.

Eating regularly and healthy. 12 days without smoking, and breathing much better.

Sunday ended up being a splurge day, ate way too much but every now and then ya have too.

Finnaly hit a good weight loss week this past week. Just shy of 245lbs. so thats around 5 lbs this week. 15 so far!

Most was from eating correctly and correct times, never would have thought a small bowl of otameal would fill me up.

My wife has been doing well also,maybe not the eating right part, but she is doing a good job of strengthening and toning at the gym. I'm very proud of her

Awesome guys you can do it !!


255lbs to 176lbs in 15.5 months I have to say rocks!

Now my BMI went from 44 15.5 months ago now to a 30 I am officially at the bottom of the obese chart since 30+ is considered obese... I am happy where I am at though my belly been a pain to get rid of but the rest of me is rock solid muscle ; ) ~ Just glad to be getting the almost 100+lbs off that I gained when I quit smoking! Wish I knew the Vit C trick back then! Hubby did it and only gained about 20-30lbs but hes been a lazy butt too lol

I wanted my goal of 150 or so but at this point Im happy so if I lose I lose as long as I don't go back above 200 Ill be happy no matter what =) Also... While I was gone for 2 weeks there, I was a size 16 or so when I left.... I can officially say... I fit into my size 14s but I have room LOL so..... yay!?

Being 176 I am 26-36lbs away from what I weighed when I graduated high school 10 years ago when I quit smoking but I don't think I wanna go back to 140 or so Ill be happy with 150 heck even 160 or even now but Ill prolly try to get down to 155/150

It's been a while since the last update, working out and trying to eat right has taken up a lot of time.

As of this morning weight is 230lbs. 30 lb loss since June 9th.

Body fat now down to 31%

Waistline is just under 40

Blood pressure is 116/76

Havent smoked since June 18th

Muscle mass growth is huge. Working out hard for 2 hours then an hour to 3 hours on a treadmill. And that workout is done a minimum of 5 days a week.

Put on an XXL shirt right off the rack at a store and it fit! It's been a really long time since something like that has happened to me

But one of the most important parts of this diet has become food/calorie intake. My day consists of 4 meals under 400 calories, and 2 smoothies that are 200 calories each (high protein) never eating more or less than 2000/day. My body is responding well now to the use of fat for energy during hard workouts.

At this pace, which I know will slow down with time, I should be just under 200lbs by Christmas. (Havent been under 200lbs since the age of 14)

This hasnt been easy, tons of willpower and motivation, 2 thing that have been lacking in me for a long time , but now they are here to stay.

Good luck to everyone else here as they try to attain personal goals. Or if anyone needs help to motivate to workout or eat right please let me know, would love to help

That's the key right there. You are doing AWESOME, just keep it up man.
I am down to 166 from 256 over the last 13 months (or so). I ran a 4 mile race, have a 5k coming up in September, and just signed up for a half-marathon in November (http://cityofmanchestermarathon.com/index.htm).

I think I may have an obsession, but at least its a healthy one!
Keep up the great work!

It's been over a month since my last update....

This week is the 3 month point on my personal transformation.

The new stats:
Weight: 228lbs, down 32 lbs.
Body fat %: 29% Down 6% (30% for men is considered obese) that makes me no longer obese!
Quit smoking on june 18, still not smoking.
waistline down 8 inches to 40 inches
can walk/jog a mile in about 12 minutes(first mile on treadmill was almost 19 minutes)
no longer wearing knee brace at work or while working out
Strong as HECK now, almost amazed by how I physically look and feel.

>Goals already reached : 30 lbs by Christmas...done! (3 months early)
Back pain: Eliminated thru exercise and muscle build up
Stop smoking: Done!
High blood pressure:Gone!
Borderline diabetic:not anymore!

Was all this easy? NO! But if you would like to change yourself, it is possible. Make that change today, dont wait. Everyone has that willpower, use it!

4 Month update:

Weight 222, down 38lbs
Bodyfat down to 27.5%

Doing a 5k walk/jog every week and loving it.

Switched to free weights and pumping arms heavily now, not looking to shabby for a 40 year old gamer!

Still not smoking, but still averaging one lb. a week weight loss.

Trying to ramp up more running, wanting to get to 200 by Christmas. (original goal was 230)

And most importantly, I'm having fun for the first time in a long time.

Congratulations my friend, that is great! Keep up the great work!

So proud of you guys!
