OS Weight Loss 2011

Re: OS Weight Loss 2011

At the beginning of the year i weighed 220lbs at 6'0. Today im down to 185lbs. I did it by not really exercising all that much, but eating and drinking the right things. Cut soda out of your diet and substitute it with water and you'll be surprised at the results.

Nice! I joined Chris Powell's reshape the nation and it had been amazing to change my eating lifestyle. So far 7 lbs in 2 weeks, and clothes are already looser.

Re: OS Weight Loss 2011

After about a month and a half, I'm down from 270 to 255. Ideally I'd like to hit 230 by the end of the year, and then hopefully keep that pace until 200. Being slightly under 6'7, I feel that's a nice goal, and it's reassuring to know that, at the pace I'm going (which isn't even full pace) I could be around 210 at the turn of the year.

200 at 6'7 seems underweight to me. Do you happen to know what you're appx current body fat % is?

Not trying to dissuade you from your goal, you know yourself better then i, but 200 at your height would just seem somewhat emaciated. Any particular reason you want to get down that low?

200 would put me in a good spot in terms of BMI, and it's a nice round number to aim for.

I know BMI has its limitations, such as being very muscular at your weight, but I'd be lying to myself if I said I was anything less than fat, so it seems like a decent indicator.

Re: OS Weight Loss 2011

I feel like **** because I got stuck at the 20 pound mark and now I have put on around 4 pounds. I really don't think I have been eating that bad, but it is worse than when I was super motivated. I'm still drinking diet pop and a lot of water though. I do think I might be drinking too much Gatorade though. I need to cut that back.

I just can't get past that 20 pound mark. Got there and now going backwards.

Have you tried Powerade Zero? No calories and tastes less sugary to me. My favorite is probly mixed berry (light blue).

Just because its diet doesnt mean its good for you. Its just not as harmful as the regular stuff.

Yeah, Its ok. I need to suck it up and just drink that more. Only problem is the gas station right next to me has orange Gatorade on tap and its .59 for 32oz. Its a huge weakness of mine lol.

I know, but drinking diet wouldn't contribute to gaining any weight would it?

Not sure, you would be better off with flavored water.

Thats probably true but diet soda has no calories or carbs. I think it has sodium though.

But at any rate you are right. I need to do more flavored water, and powerade zero.

If im just drinking something i cant drink water, i have to have some flavor. If im drinking water with a meal i have no problem. I'll usually get some Crystal Light packets. Wanted to try that Milo stuff, but then i saw the price.

I'm the exact opposite. lol

And that Mio stuff is crap imo.

I'm starting to head back to the gym, been in the 270 range for too long now.

Agreed, Mio is total garbage.

I really like drinking water straight up but after I get a good exercise in (I'm a big-time sweater) I try to get some Powerade Zero. I'd rather drink water! But the mixed berry kind is pretty good.
