This thread is great. Nice work getting fit ya'll! Feb 2013 I weighed in at 214(5'8"). That was the turning point for me. 174 currently, training for Salt Lake Spartan Race in June. Considering a half marathon with a friend in August. Still haven't gotten the nutrition fully down, I still consume too much sugar, but making progress.

You should all feel damn good about yourselves for the progress you've made!

Thanks so much bro it means a lot!! Wow sounds like you've done really well too.


It really is strange how I used to just gobble down white bread, chips, white rice, coke, juice, etc. Now I would feel kinda bad if I have to eat those things, but instead started enjoying the natural taste of raw stuff a lot more like just eat a whole apple instead of apple juice or snacking on pistachios/almond instead of chips. Sometimes for dinner I would just have raw carrots/broccoli dipped in hummus with some whole grain breads and may be 1 boiled egg and some fresh tomatoes.


Much better for your body, much better for the waistline, and much more energy during the day too!!!
 
I'm still on track. Not making crazy gains (losses) but figure getting where I want will be a multi-year process. I don't want to burn out trying too hard to lose weight on an unrealistic timetable. I was at 260, now at 236, aiming for either 180 or a 36" waist. Whichever comes first I'll decide if I want to lose more or stay where I'm at. So, sometime around 2017.

Are you doing much exercise at all or just focussing on eating right?

I'm exercising for 30min M-F, alternating between straight cardio (tue-thurs) and boot camp style calisthenics (M-W-F). Also making a concerted effort to walk as much as I can while I'm at work. I've been doing between 7-11 miles a day walking at work. I'm also eating a lot less. But I haven't really cut back on beer much and I imagine that's been slowing me down. But like I said, I'm not looking for fast gains, I'm looking at a lifestyle change that in a few years will get me where I want to be. I've only missed two exercise days since the beginning of the year, one was my birthday. I feel great and have noticeably better flexibility (kind of weird but a big one for me) more endurance and moderately more strength. My big worry is high blood pressure. I am happy to look better and feel better, that's all great, I just don't want to die before I hit 50.
 
Played basketball today for teh 1st time in a week or 2. Damn, back to being out of shape. School got me stressed so I havent been eating right and I weigh 195 now. I was at 180 (pretty much my ideal weight) to start the school year. Went to the grocery store and I'm going back on my weekday vegetarian diet. No meat on the weekdays and only once per weekend.

do you find it hard to eat smart after consuming large amounts of frothy bev?
