Fat boy on a diet, don't try it.

I hope you stick to your diet. It's great to see that you choose to do it yourself; People forced into diets don't do nearly as well.

BobTheJoeBob · Apr 20, 2011

Good for you trying to lose weight and go healthy. I hope you reach your target weight.

Ikki · Apr 20, 2011

It's nice that your mentality changed.
You have this panda's best wishes with this, I hope you can keep it up.

hunter291 · Apr 20, 2011

Good luck to you. I hope you accomplish you goal

Right now, I'm trying to do the opposite of your plan. Maybe I will make a blog about it... nah, don't think so xD But good luck to you

Best of luck to you, and a tip from a fellow dieter; NEVER forget your motive.

I dropped 40 pounds in three months from an overwhelming fear of diabetes (which, as far as I know, never came to be, thankfully) thanks to an incredibly strict diet and three hours of light/fierce exercise a day but after dropping them and a Christmas break came I sort of hung around the same area. It is HARD to start up again if you stop, so keep going full-force until you get to your goal weight.

I figure I can start up again full force after easter, there's just going to be so much candy and shit that it's gonna be near impossible for me to not gain a pound or two, or, at best, not lose anything at all, and that's only if I end up giving the dog a three-hour walk like I used to on my last diet. One thing, if you're on a diet and walking, ALWAYS bring water/gatorade/whatever can quench you, it will help you keep going for MUCH longer. Also, what I do that works is to start walking and do 30-second sprints every 5-7 minutes. This way, you get your heart rate up but don' tire yourself out right away.

Don't go on a no carb diet. Carbs are the primary source of energy for the body. If you get too few, you'll find yourself without energy. Honestly, if you really want to lose weight; diet and exercise. Don't go too hard with either, otherwise you'll lose hope. You aren't making your body better if you run off and harm it in the process.

You don't want to much protein either. There tends to be negative things associated with protein related foods such as meat and eggs that you don't want multiple times in a day over an extended period of time unless you once again, want to do more harm than good.

Diets are tricky and tend not to work too well on their own. Skinny doesn't mean healthy. A balanced diet and exercise really is the way to go.

Good luck, Daniel.
Hope it works out. My mom said the first week is hard since you get the cravings.

I hope you get through this a skinner man. It's to use your family as inspiration in this time.

Don't take what I have said badly, since I care about you as a friend.

Good Luck!

You're really no fucking help in this thread. Why bother posting?

I lost 90 lbs last year, if you care to know how I did it, I lost most of it playing Stepmania and the rest hackey sack. I entirely quit fast food. I quit sugar soda, and eventually diet soda. Also don't drink fruit juice, it's just as bad as soda. I counted every calorie and ate 1600 a day. But the absolute most important element that sparked my health kick was getting surgery to fix my lifelong nasal blockage. Nasal breathing is incredibly important for helping you keep your breath, helping retain oxygen in your blood, generates nitric oxide, etc etc etc. I could never stress enough how important nasal breathing is. Getting my nose fixed changed my life forever. Good luck.

Fix'd

Anyway, good luck with that, man. I've been needing to start dieting as well, since I'm pretty overweight. I drink water a lot, but I need to start eating better foods as well. Good thing I love vegetables.

This is quite interesting. I literally have had a lifelong cold; there is not a second of my day when it's not blocked up. I have been considering some type of nose job eventually to fix my sinuses (if my issues aren't gone by the time I'm older, I'm only 15 right now and it might just be a teenager thing) but I didn't think it could really affect anything except for having to blow my nose all the time and sneezing like nuts. Glad it worked for you.

again, good luck, twinretro.

yeah ifish thats sop to you (does he have any friends here? i think everyone hates him. hes just another narutofreak that was a user used to be reference to fail trolls i think. though that was 2-3 years ago)

anyway on topic i wish you luck. when i was in high school i gained a good 50-100 pounds so i understand the fat crap your going through. i started bringing my own lunch and was slowly loosing weight now im graduated and lost most of the excess weight. im still fat but i don't stress over it. stress makes it harder to loose weight so don't stress too much

also if you need any help or advice im here to listen. I've gone through what your going through(even though im younger)

Nathan Drake · Apr 20, 2011

For stress:
It depends on the kind of stress person you are. Some people lose incredible amounts of weight when they get stressed, as they can't keep anything down that they try to eat, or food just doesn't look appealing. Others eat a lot when they stress and end up gaining weight. With other people, their metabolism will just start acting funky, and they end up at a standstill with their weight.

Snailface · Apr 20, 2011

Good blog, catchy title (although you've got that song stuck in my head now :wacko:

) I hope you can keep us updated. I'd like to follow your stats -- it'd kinda be like an RPG, ya know?

Anyway, I wish you great success. I recently lost 80lbs(36kgs) myself --it's not easy! The first week is the worst, though, then its smoother sailing until you get 10-20lbs from your goal. Aim for about 1200 cal. /day and 30 fat grams and you'll do great.

I am r4ymond · Apr 20, 2011

Well, I'm somewhat fat, I guess. I weigh 140 with height at 5'6~5'8 at the age of 13. I usually eat a lot everyday and still remain at 140 lbs. I've been staying 140 lbs for a year now. The reason why I'm still at 140 is because of my school's hardcore P.E. exercise. We don't really play outdoor games. We usually do 100 push-ups + sit ups followed up with a non-stop/no-walking-allowed 1 mile run.

You can still eat a lot if you exercise enough. I mean, you still get the weight, but it's more of a 'positive' kind of weight. Instead of getting flab, you get muscle.

Oh Danny Boy,
The pies the pies are calling, calling!

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

I've never had a lot of luck with diets. Would always wake up on the diet, and go to bed having gone off of it.
Hope you have better willpower than me, buddy.

i guess your right and i was the second tier of the stress. during my last year of high school i mellowed out and stress didnt affect me any more so i lost weight and am the skinnier dude i always wished i was.

oh one more tip do not compare yourself to other skinnier people it'll only bum you out and make it harder.

MelodieOctavia · Apr 20, 2011

Thanks for the support, guys. I was really expecting some trolololol posts, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The point of no carbs at this point is to work off my body's natural "reserve" at a fast clip. Carbs will be introduced once I hit my goal weight. Atleast that's according to the OA handbook.

I hate that song with a passion, but you still got a chuckle out of me hehe.

Willpower IS something that I lack, but I have other motivations driving me other than my own will...my own mortality for instance.
