I feel proud of myself, and I'm sure Angelus Lapsus is too. I know that the pills aren't the most healthiest option, but it's either that or face constant hunger 24/7 until I get my body down to a more manageable weight. Until this summer, I weighed 240 lbs due a host of factors (asthma, rehabilitated right shoulder, right ankle, and left knee, and slow metabolism is also making it hard for me to lose weight fast... being the reasons I was fat in the first place.), but I decided enough was enough, I've had it with this motherfucking fat on my motherfucking weight. Signed up at the local gym (WoW gym - good deals there!) and worked out 3 times a week for around 2 hours, more on Saturday. Right now I'm on a hiatus since last week I came down with the sinus, my cousins came over, and finals and tests are around the corner, I haven't gone to the gym, so I just excercise at home to keep shape... so my current weight is 213.8 lbs when it was 212 lbs before the sinusitis struck. I find that there is a big difference between not eating a pill and eating a pill - I find myself hard to stop eating without the pill. Of course, when I get down to a slimmer weight such as 180 lbs, I'll step off the pills because it's a only a stretch to get down to 160 lbs, my ideal weight according to my height and frame. (the range was actually 154-170, but 160 is a goal to shoot for.
For those who are losing weight, be proud of yourselves and persevere! It's all worth it. Share any tales of weight loss here if anyone cares.
@Angelus Lapsus: As a suggestion (so don't take this the wrong way), I would cut the light snack from the morning - kinda seems unecessary. As for lunch, my gripe with a subway sandwich is a) even for a 6", that's a lot of calories because of the bread and depending on the bread type, so whole wheat/herbs would be a wiser choice, b) cheese and the meats can be cut down, and remember that not only eating too much of them is bad for the heart, they're packaged food, so they have other stuff in there that really isn't healthy for the body, c) try to elimate the sauces from the sub as well, including mayo - fattening stuff, d) if you get a drink, get water. The other drink I recommend is tea, and not that shit you find packaged or bottled but real tea. It's real healthy for the body, and try to stay away from coffee as much as possible unless you're in dire need of caffeine. I also spot a night snack - as long it's before 10PM you're fine. Preferably, fruit should be an ideal snack, and you get your vitamin C that way.
you know its really hard to cut down what u eat...especially for me who is very..very picky about what i eat(like i cant eat veggies..Sept for like pees)and cutting down how much i eat is even harder cuz i used 2 be able 2 eat like 3 servings no problem but i cut that down to 1 maybe 1 and a half and im still starving 2 hours later(but of course i tend 2 eat like an apple at that time)but yea for some ppl its ridiculously hard 2 stop...
