      Using “healthy” and “fun” on the same sentence is questionable . . .

                    Exactly. That's why I'm shaking my head at rochard biking 30 miles. Great way to burn off a bunch of lean body mass.

                    He should be timing his carbs and lifting weights for fat loss.

                        You can only lose so much water weight though right?

                          Happy to see Rochard's mid-week progress. Keep it up brother!!!

                          Interesting to note we're going about this in two very different ways. I'm not eating "healthier", I'm drastically reducing my caloric intake. Not easy to do since I'm a chef and constantly tasting. But that's the key - to "taste" not to "eat". I haven't had a "meal" this week, except on my off day Monday when I went out with my wife. I know that I'll be tasting plenty throughout the day, and that's enough for me. So far.

                          I'. 243.6, down 1.2lbs from Monday:



                          The other big difference between Rochard's method and mine is I'm not doing any "exercise". No hoops, no bike rides and no gym. But - I'm on my feet a minimum of 10 hours a day. I'm not constantly in motion, a lot of time is spent expediting at the pass-through, but I still run around between the dining rooms and go up and down the stairs to the prep area at least 50 times a day. That's my exercise regime.

                          For the guys saying it's not about weight it's about inches: I use both. It's great motivation to see the weight come off on the scale. But it's even better when pants fit that had been relegated to the back of the closet.

                          I use the "belt" method. I use the same belt and have added notches as I reduce. I'm in the second to last notch right now. The last notch I made was used when I was at 235, so I'm right on target waist-wise.



                          I'll do my official weigh-in Monday morning. Good luck over the weekend Rochard!!!

                            I am doing a little bit of everything really.... I believe loosing weight requires three things....

                            1) Eating less. For me, I work from home so I eat constantly. I "graze". I go down into the pantry and grab a bag of chips at 10am. That's nasty.

                            2) Eating healthier... Instead of fast food, I have something healthy. I surprised myself tonight when she offered to take me out to Kush Burger and I passed so I can stay home and eat healthy.

                            3) Exercise. I already exercise, mostly cycling, but I've slacked off a lot this summer because it was just too hot. However, this post happened to sync up with a nice shift in weather here in Northern California so I've been back on my bike twice a day, once every morning, and once every night, going further and pushing harder.

                            I goal is to be below 200 by Christmas. At the rate I am going I should be fine if I keep it up.

                              Have you lost any volume in your cock thickness and/or girth with the weight loss? Before & after pics? ( asking for a friend )

                                Monday morning weigh-in: 242.0, down 2.8 from last Monday (244.8)



                                Interesting that I lost the same exact amount as the previous week: 2.8lbs.

                                It was a good week, I ate only at the restaurant (except for Monday, my day off), never sitting down for a full meal, just tasting and the occasional taco at the end of the shift. Bought the guys a couple flats of avocados so there was plenty of guacamole around and that was my big "splurge".

                                No alcohol, and I allowed myself 2 bottles of Coca-cola, my one big vice. I buy the 1 litre size for the staff, but when I have one I get it from the bar and it's a 100 calorie 8oz bottle.

                                For me, not "drinking" any calories makes all the difference. I alternate between water and unsweetened iced tea, with a couple of shots of fresh lemon juice and some liquid stevia.

                                Now that I've weighed in, today is my cheat day as I have the day off. My wife has to work today so figuring out what I'm gonna have.

                                        Monday morning weigh-in: 242.5, up 0.5 from last Monday (242.0)



                                        Not a great week, went off the rails a couple of times and yesterday said fuck it and had a dish of our Sunday sauce. At least I left out the rigatoni.



                                        Frankly, only going up 0.5 is better than I expected, so that motivates me even more to break into 239 territory for next week.

                                              Monday morning weigh-in:239.0, down 3.5 from last week (242.5).

                                              It was a good week. Stayed on course, v we try little soda and very little late night food. That's what made the difference this week.

                                              I have a photo and will post it, but can't get advanced GFY mode on my phone, even when in Normal GFY mode. And no, I'm not logging into GFY on the computer in the office.

                                                    I forgot to weigh myself this morning. I haven't been eating too good or working out. It is going to cool down this week in California so I'll be back to the biking more often.

                                                          1) Eating less. For me, I work from home so I eat constantly. I "graze". I go down into the pantry and grab a bag of chips at 10am. That's nasty.

                                                          2) Eating healthier... Instead of fast food, I have something healthy. I surprised myself tonight when she offered to take me out to Kush Burger and I passed so I can stay home and eat healthy.

                                                          3) Exercise. I already exercise, mostly cycling, but I've slacked off a lot this summer because it was just too hot. However, this post happened to sync up with a nice shift in weather here in Northern California so I've been back on my bike twice a day, once every morning, and once every night, going further and pushing harder.

                                                          I goal is to be below 200 by Christmas. At the rate I am going I should be fine if I keep it up.
                                                          time to change things up...

                                                          1) eating less. Yes, this is obvious, but if you are eating all day, even if its less, your pancreas is working ALL day and no matter what you are eating you are not becoming insulin resistant and FAT LOSS will suffer because of it, no matter how you are training. Instead eat in a shorter window. An 8-10 hour window with 2 or 3 meals is fine, 6 hours is ideal. Kill the snacking. Also be careful not to drink your calories either. Juice/Gatorade=Pop with regards to fat loss.

                                                          2) I don't care what you are eating.. if you are eating 2000 calories of green beans, broccoli and carrots all day long you will still be overworking your pancreas by spreading it out all day. Less so because you are getting more fibre. But your version of 'healthy eating' is limited to not eating fast food, which is worthless because you can get just as fat and unhealthy eating sweet potatoes, bread and pasta all the same, none of which are unhealthy on their own in moderation.

                                                          3) Exercise, you put far too much emphasis on this. You can't fix fat with exercise alone. You can when you are 20 maybe, but not when you get older. People who are physically unable to exercise can lose weight much faster than you just with eating correctly alone. Randy seems to be losing pretty quick himself and I don't think he has mentioned exercise at all, he did mention skipping out on the rigatoni though! His 'cheat meal' wasn't even much of a cheat. Maybe the size was a bit much but its not as bad as a carb overload would be is my point.

                                                          Forget about fast food, that wasn't the problem, the problem has always been carbohydrate overload. The problem isn't fats either, you need those to live. Organ health, brain health even fat loss! Those all need fat distribution from your food intake. by avoiding those you stall your fat burning engine.

                                                          Eating healthy is subjective. There are endless arguments and data out there, but for fat loss it is clear. No effective diet works without some form of carbohydrate restriction. Also, measure your waist instead! Your weight can stay the same for a week sometimes but if you lose a half an inch in that time it will tell you more regarding your progress. If you aren't losing inches and still losing weight you could be burning through proteins or muscle instead, which is never good.

                                                            You'll get back on track. You let it go a week or two, you can bounce back. Any longer (at least for me) and it spirals quickly.

                                                              Hey Glen,

                                                              I agree with pretty much everything you're saying. For me, I lose weight when I limit my calorie intake and I gain weight when I eat more. It's pretty simple (but not easy to do).

                                                              I'm not exercising because I'm on my feet 10-12 hours a day and that's enough for me.

                                                              I try to limit my carbs and cut out sugary drinks and alcohol. I also try not to eat late - those calories pack on the pounds very quickly.

                                                              It really is simple: burn off more calories than you take in and you'll lose weight. Take in more calories than you burn and you'll gain weight.

                                                                  I agree with pretty much everything you're saying. For me, I lose weight when I limit my calorie intake and I gain weight when I eat more. It's pretty simple (but not easy to do).

                                                                  I'm not exercising because I'm on my feet 10-12 hours a day and that's enough for me.

                                                                  I try to limit my carbs and cut out sugary drinks and alcohol. I also try not to eat late - those calories pack on the pounds very quickly.

                                                                  It really is simple: burn off more calories than you take in and you'll lose weight. Take in more calories than you burn and you'll gain weight.
                                                                  What I do is... eat less, work out more, no soda, no booze, no fast food, no restaurants (huge fucking proportions!), and never eat after 5pm. Oh, and no more grazing. I work from home so any time I am hungry I just go downstairs and grab some food. I need to stop that too.
                                                                  Herschel Savage

Truth is, I could have been a foot model, but my feet and legs got mangled in a motorbike accident two years ago and now they are what they are.

                                                                                  I weigh myself first thing in the morning, straight out of bed and before hitting the shower, so no socks for me. I apologize in advance for disturbing you in the future.

                                                                                        I hit a high of 305 when I first went to Malaysia in 2014, but was at 235 when I came back to New York in 2017. I hit a high of 273 in January of this year, then started going to the gym and eating better. But it was still a struggle getting back down.

                                                                                        Last month, I took an Executive Chef's job at a wildly popular place in NYC's Nolita neighborhood. 600-700 covers a day. Everyday. Nonstop. I'm putting in 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, almost all running around and on my feet. No gym and eating the food there.

                                                                                        I'm surrounded by awesome Italian food and pizza all day and at night there are literally 3 Mexican food setups for the workers. Plus the bar where I can drink for free. But I'm not pigging out and don't eat late. Mostly.

                                                                                        I'm down to 246 this morning. I want to end the year at 200, but 220 is more realistic.

                                                                                        So here's the deal. Want to have a friendly competition as to who will weigh less on December 31?

                                                                                        For the record, I'm 6'0, 54 years old and weigh precisely 246.6 this morning.

                                                                                        Friendly wager or no stakes at all, other than our health. Up to you. Updates once a week until the end of the year. Verify the weight with photos of the scale - I trust your honor.

                                                                                        The ball is in your court!
                                                                                        280 down to 185...… I dropped starch and do about 2 hours of cardio a day at last 5 days a week. and I eat small amounts though out the day.

Going off weight alone is not accurate since density per lb of muscle is greater than fat. But I digress as I'm sure you know this as well.

                                                                                                      I hit a high of 305 when I first went to Malaysia in 2014, but was at 235 when I came back to New York in 2017. I hit a high of 273 in January of this year, then started going to the gym and eating better. But it was still a struggle getting back down.

                                                                                                      Last month, I took an Executive Chef's job at a wildly popular place in NYC's Nolita neighborhood. 600-700 covers a day. Everyday. Nonstop. I'm putting in 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, almost all running around and on my feet. No gym and eating the food there.

                                                                                                      I'm surrounded by awesome Italian food and pizza all day and at night there are literally 3 Mexican food setups for the workers. Plus the bar where I can drink for free. But I'm not pigging out and don't eat late. Mostly.

                                                                                                      I'm down to 246 this morning. I want to end the year at 200, but 220 is more realistic.

                                                                                                      So here's the deal. Want to have a friendly competition as to who will weigh less on December 31?

                                                                                                      For the record, I'm 6'0, 54 years old and weigh precisely 246.6 this morning.

                                                                                                      Friendly wager or no stakes at all, other than our health. Up to you. Updates once a week until the end of the year. Verify the weight with photos of the scale - I trust your honor.

                                                                                                      The ball is in your court!
