MOTHERFUCKING ORG!!!! Shit. I typed up a whole mess of shit and it all dissapeared.




Anyways, I gained 30 pounds last year, which places me above my upper weight limit for my height. Originally I was trying to gain weight, but in the form of muscle. It didn't go that way.


So now I'm having to work my ass off to lose the weight (it's always hardest to lose weight when you're above a certain zone ).


Anyways, the most difficult things that I find in doing this is:

1) My mind always tricks itself into thinking that I'm being punished for not being able to eat the nast sweet foods I love so much. In reality, what is the prize of eating this nasty food? It's a trap of the mind.

2) I always plateua--this is due to a mental block. You reach a point where you don't see results, and you think you're done. You get frustrated. In reality, if you're working out 5 times a week, you *are* improving continually, even if the scale doesn't reflect it.

3) I always feel like I'm not gaining results as fast as I should. THis again, I feel is a mental trap. Truth of the matter is, if you really apply yourself, you are improving.

One of the perks of going back to the gym this time is that I'm getting a personal trainer. He has the god damned nicest ass I've ever seen on a man. It's pert, firm, and god damned divine.

His ass is my new clarion call to a more disciplined life. I intend to have an ass at least half as nice by the end of 2007.



But I already know the diet they will set me up on : 5 small meals a day. There's a formula they use for the calories your allowed. Folling it brings dramatic results. Also, I'll be supplementing CLA , HMV, and creatine into my routine. I hope this helps me a bit.


Anyways, great thread. Good luck everyone.

We should collectively come up with a "collective number" all of us need to lose, say a combined "150 pounds", and each work towards contributing to that goal. It's always nice to pull for a team.

I am so in.

I am fat because I just keep eating sweets. I am not an overeater, in fact I under eat...I just eat all the worse foods when I do eat. I also have not worked out once since moving into my new place. I am going back to work next week and none of my old work clothes fit.

I am not sure how much I really need to lose and I am not going to focus on numbers at all. I'll just know I am there when all my "skinny" clothes fit.

I really need help getting motivated, guys. I am at an all time low and truly hate not just the way I look but my lack of energy and just not feeling mentally fit.

Reading this thread is totally making my day. Let's do this!

That said, I have a hard time finding diets and recipes for losing weight that are also vegatarian. It makes me sad.

Good stuff Dan.

I know I alone want to lose 75 pounds. Depending on who's up for it, that'll be a huge chunk right there, pun intended.

Ivy I'm in just started walking and monitoring what I am eating. I would love to do this with you and maybe we can encourage eachother BTW I am coming back to chicago in August, so I can't wait to see you again

I would still want to jump your bones no matter what weight you are.

Seriously, thank you Nathan.

I finaly brought the elliptical in the house and opened the box to put it together.It's in a thousand pieces.

So it's thank you and goodnight.

I really meant to come home and put it together after work but after standing on the bus stop for a half an hour in below zero windchills and then again waiting for a ride after I got off the bus, I don't have it in me tonight. I should have driven to work today.
