possible to lose 100lbs at this starting weight, but will require extreme life style changes to keep it off.

1. everyone in the household needs to be on the program and share in the lifestyle change or you will not be successful.
2. eat for nutrition only and as close to raw foods as possible, no fast food, no "food" found in a box, start weaning yourself off salty foods, read all labels, and document everything you put in your mouth. you must count calories, keep a weight log, and take your pix nude every 3 weeks to see progress.
3. get rid of tv, or put treadmill or bowflex in front on tv and time your workout to your favorite program (bowflex is good because it is not noisy).
4. get mp3 player and headphones to make the monotony of daily workouts doable.
5. suggest going on atkins style diet first to lose weight fast and see results---it is very important to have positive reinforcement for yourself.
6. weigh yourself daily and keep a weight journal
7. occasionally you will binge especially if someone else in the house brings home a forbidden food---do not beat yourself up, just get back on the program in the morning.
8. try to eat small meals or healthy snacks, train yourself to eat at about 80% of satiation and then stop. achieve satiation with fiber, oatmeal, fruits and vegetables. do not become a rabbit, you will need some protein to keep hunger pangs away---go to costco and get whey protein (chocolate or vanilla is good and you can mix in blueberries, strawberries, etc) avoid refined sugars as much as possible. remember eat for nutrition not pleasure. find your pleasure in other aspects of your life, NOT food.
9. get on an exercise program that you can consistently do for at least 30 minutes a day---if you have to drive somewhere to exercise this is not the best plan.
10. limit breads, fill up on steamed veggies, some fish and chicken, limit all other meats.

many other thoughts on this, but it will not be easy.

it is a lifestyle thing and you must treat food like it is a drug and you are an addict, and understand that most eating in the western world is for comfort, not nutrition.

good luck, you will probably fail statistically, but IF you do exactly as i suggest you will probably succeed.

Don't try to lose 100 lbs. in just three months, or your skin is going to hanging off you, man! At your size you are probably going to have some pretty severe stretch marks and maybe excess skin even if you do it slowly. Lose weight slowly and steady, over a year or so with three or four days per week of weightlifting and two or three sessions of cardio and a very healthy diet.

Learn how to cook if you don't already. I'll give you some recipes if you like for my favorite healthy dishes

whoa whoa whoa... 100lbs in 3 months is weak. I suggest gastric-bypass and you'll lose 200 in a month. ;)

I'm 6'5 and 218 - what's the correct height to weight ratio?

Good luck with the weight loss.

I'm at 300 and want to go down to 230 in 6 months.

second the Tom Venuto book...

100lbs in 3 months? thats a bit hardcore.. over a pound a day?

I wish you the best, just don't kill yourself.

:thumbsup

Besides that, I have no other advice to give as I'm not qualified, nor have I met you.

What I can say is do it for yourself, and keep on going. Once your LIFESTYLE has changed, it'll be easy as cherry cream pie!

any update?

yea how is the diet going ?? Hope your doing well

I just sent you an add request on icq. Can't speak for tony, but I'd love to see those recipies. I'm in the midst of transitioning us (myself, the munchkin and manchild) over to a more healthy meal plan. I've found some things online, but am looking for a lot more.

It is not a good idea to drop that much weight in that short amount of time, that is just my honest opinion. do what is best for you though obviously.

i have lost 45 pounds in a year now, went for 255-60 to around 210-215 now.

it is amazing how much being back in shape changes your life.

looks confidence energy, everything goes up, anyone feeling depressed i suggest working out it changes more than you could ever think possible.

lost 16 so far nothing to write home about:(

Good Luck with your try :thumbsup

16 gone is much better than 16 gained. :)

May I ask what you did to loose 16 lbs and what kind of scale do you use...?

I have never seen a human scale that was more then 120 Kilos or 250 lbs.

Also you really should do something about your weight. I'm sorry to talk to you like this, but come on dude. Every Doctor must tell you your going to die if you don't do something no ?

A quick google search shows that over 10% of Americans are over 300lbs :warning

I am going out on a limb, and will guess that most 250lb+ ppl get their weight from the doctor's scale?

I've got a flat stomach with some definition right now, probably in a few months I will have a 4 pack. 227 and 6'3...


C'mon webmasters, what kind of life is it if you have money but you're fat?

In America is Obesity is out of CONTROL Fact !!

Right on and good for you. I'm willing to bet you watch what you eat and get some kind of weekly Exercise ?

You can buy scales for home that go up to 400 pounds. Mine goes to 300 and it just a standard scale. I don't need the 300 mark....yet.....:helpme

16 pounds in a month is really good, just keep doing what you're doing and you will be healthy in no time.

Yes forsure but he is Weighting 440 +

His Blood pressure has to be off the chart no ?

unless there is a real heath problem i don't even know what you would have to eat and keep eating to weight that much.

Talking 440 + do that make a scale for the home that can do that ?

I lost 40+ pounds since may of this year, 247 down to 207 ;) and I'm 6.1

Yes, in fact Googling found the a Healthometer 402 which goes to 450 pounds.

Having a Doctor quality scale in a home isn't out of the ordinary. My mother has had one since I can remember and she's never weighed an ounce over 105.

that reminds me of the show rob and big, they couldnt find a scale that could weigh big black so he took him to a place and weighed him on a truck scale.

In the last 12 months I've lost 120 pounds myself. 16 lbs in 6 weeks is a really good start at your size. As you keep losing weight you'll find it so much easier on your joints to be active and then you will probably lose at an even faster pace.

A life filled with good food! :thumbsup

Yeah, I eat healthy on the weekdays and whatever I want on the weekends. I also goto the gym, and getting back into martial arts. You need to look good if you don't want to pay for sex. :winkwink:

lol


I eat healthy 4-5 days of the week and eat ANYTHING I want 2-3 days a week.


I had a fucking FEAST of a meal for lunch and dinner last night, and then thai food with the lovely young lady that patched up my dog bite last month when I had to goto the hospital...

It is amazing just how many dicks your mouth juggles.

The first 16lbs was most likely water weight. If you were training harder and eating right at your size that 16lbs could have been 30-50lbs or more....in one week. Boxers will often drop 10lbs over night by dropping the water weight.

You're most likely retaining alot of water.

Don't listen to the haters.

100lbs in 3 months...whats that ? Less then 8lbs a week?

best of luck man

30-50 pounds in a week? are you insane?

Considering the amount of water weight someone can lose their first week on a cardio routine.....no I am not insane. People always see dramatic weight losses their first week. It's a gift and a curse....because it gets you motivated...but when weeks 2 and 3 roll around and the losses are minimal it can discourage you.

And just to add someone on NBC The Biggest Loser lost 30lbs in 1 week in the season premiere.

So am I insane? No. But am I in shape (6'1 215lbs low bf) and know what the fuck I'm talking about?

I like to think so.

For Ram my scale goes up to 500 lbs, my blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol is 126.The only advantage of being a guy with big hips and thighs is Im not a heart waiting to happen like my apple shaped brothers. My main motivation is Im healthy now don't want to wait til one day the tide turns.

so how much weight have you dropped?

Time's up! Happy Anniversary!
Did you make your goal? Before and after pics, please

good for you :)))

tony don't go to hard dude .. take a comfortable pace. Much rather have you heathy then thin and frail
