Operation Weight Reduction

How much weight have you lost so far?

I am on a diet too. I was 265 lbs, and I am now 236lbs!!! My goal is also 180-200 range. I am 6'3" btw...how bout yourself? Keep up the good work!

Well, as a freshmen in high school I was 5'11''-6' and weighed in around 250 at my highest. I realized before a work picnic that it was pretty embarassing to bo so.... well.... fat. I had been picked on all my life about it so I decided to change it. I was finally down to 190 and came back up to 195 where it stayed.

Then I met this girl. She was amazing, everything I looked for in a girl. She had just broken up with her old boyfriend and we started to talk a lot and hang out. This was all happening in the end of November/early December. I even made her a fleece tie blanket and pillow for Christmas. I dont know if any of you have done that, but my buddies Mike and Tyler and I worked on it for about 3-3.5 hours before it was done. Then I went to the New Years Eve party (that she invited me to BTW) and she left early because she "wasnt feeling well." That was the last I ever talked to her. She quit meeting me between classes, talking to me on the internet or phone, and even stopped hanging out with our mutual friends when I was around. That curveball fuckin hit hard and deep. I fell into a slump; quit eating right, stopped working out and running, and got pretty depressed for a while. Even more salt on that wound was when our choir took our trip to Chicago this spring. She (Rachel) wasnt on the trip. I turned around to talk to my friend Andy and his girl friend Dani. Dani was wrapped up in the tie blanket I made for Rachel. Fuckin bitch.

Then graduation came and I got even more depressed because I was going to miss all my classmates you know? I started running again, but then I stopped running to get my Talon running. After a couple weeks of either working at McDonalds or the shop all damn day, I got it running and 3 days later fuckin spin a bearing. Another slump.

A week before I got to college I noticed I had gained some weight back (back up to 220) and decided college was going to be a change, I was going to eat right and excercise like I used to. So, 17 days after I moved in I am now 204. I am 6'3" too BTW. I am up to running between 6-10 miles a day (training for Grandma's Marathon in June) and I have sorta gone vegetarian. The only meat I eat is meat in the occasional sandwich. Its hard as hell to pass up the eggs, bacon, sausage, and hashbrowns at brunch on the weekends, but I remember being 250 and I was on the fast track to get back to it. So anyway, thats my story, still down 46lbs but up 9lbs from my lowest cruising weight in a while. As my sig says I am aiming for 180 by the end of the year, I have a feeling I will be back down to 195 in a week and a half or so, but those last 15 will be hard as hell to get off.

Figured a new thread would be a good spot for this rather than whoring up that other guy's thread.

Anyone else have any weight loss stories?

Wow... I am the poor bastard who has been trying to put weight on for years. I eat like a damn horse and I seem to stay about the same... As of a few months ago I was around 120ish... Well, a ton of shit happened this summer with my life (I think I told you guys) I was a little depressed and I started drinking some and eating a lot more. I am now up to 147ish and am loving it cause I'm not scrawny anymore. I worked out some at just toning the fat I had accumulated (kinda) and I actually have a little bit of muscles on me now. It feels good to be a healthy weight and be stronger than you were just a mere 1/4 of a year ago. lol

Anyways, I think the drinking helped keep a little weight on my body. Then I always get the damn munchies while I'm drinking... I'm sure that played a wonderful roll in with it all. Yay for depression. lol

[Black99GST]

wow... Wish i could convince myself to run 6-10 miles a day... good lord!

As you quoted me in your first post I have also lost weight:

I have always been “fighting my weight” since about 5th grade. I have always been the tall guy and naturally have a muscular build, so I have always been able to hide my weight. When I was 16 and a senior in high school, I weighed in at about 230 and I was probably six feet tall then. So I decided to go on an exercise regime:

(This is my first massive attempt at weight loss). Like I said I was 230 and I used to run 3 miles a day, so within a month I had lost about 30 pounds and was right around the 200 mark. This is when I had seriously met the girl of my dreams. Not to get to emotional on you guys, but she wasn’t just any old girlfriend…we really clicked and were soon wrapped into each others lives. We did absolutely EVERYTHING together…might sound real corny, but we knew what we were going to name our children…

Anyways, this was the time of my life when I was fit and I was looking pretty damn good. So we went out for a year and a half and I slowly but surely gained weight. By the end of our relationship I was topping the scales at 270…talk about unhealthy. It might sound shallow in a sense but my girl broke up with me mainly because I was starting to look and dress like shit, I had really hit an all time low. Plus this girl was just plain out beautiful, I had really hit gold with her…I probably will never get anyone ever pretty as her. So we broke up and didn’t talk for 6 months, and I have recently started to hang out with her again. This is the main reason why I am losing weight once more…just for her.

So I officially started my diet on August 22, when I was 265lbs. As of today, I am 235lbs. a total weight loss of 30 lbs. My goal is to 180, but after consulting the web and other health conscious friends, they say I should be at 200lbs…but hell I just what to look good.

PS: Check out the sig, Dustin!

Ha ha, yes! That is fuckin sweet! Anyone else cutting weight?

[david-b]

I'm trying to gain weight. I'm 5' 11" weighing at 140lbs. I'm ripped. I work out quite a bit and have tried weight gainer... with no luck. I want to put on weight so I can get muscle big, but it's hard as hell. I eat like a horse also, and I'll drop a few pounds.

When I had mono... I didn't eat ANYTHING for a week and a half bc my throat was closed shut. (God awful times). I lost 20 pounds, and gained it back after I got better in a week. It just packed on, and where did it stop? At 140. I can't seem to get passed that. IDK what to do.

I do want to say Congrats to everyone here that is losing or trying to lose weight. I know its hard. My girl is trying to drop some weight too. She's only alittle more than me, but shes struggling with that too. Good luck to everyone.

[Killa]

fuck weight loss or weight gainer, I eats - drinks what I want. Enjoy your life bro.

I know the feeling man, I was stuck at 120 for the last 2 years. Now I'm about 147 and I'm also about 5'11" and I would like to get to at least 155-160 and I'll be happy. Plenty of weight to turn into muscle then. lol

I am enjoying every minute of it. I actually had a girl check me out today. Not one of those ugly creepy chicks either. A normal girl. Good self esteem boost. I dont know how many of you are runners, but there isnt much that compares to runners high I dont think.

I get that high... when I'm running from the cops. lol




No, I'm serious. lol

[Thor06]

Yeah, I suppose fleeing the scene, evading, and such deliver comparable highs. Ha ha, there were a few good times in there. Suprised I made it out of a couple of those with the 67hp Cavalier. Atleast with running you dont have the possiblity of jail time and fines

[EDMUND65]
