LyricalLesson Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah baby, I'm already down almost 60 lbs. from my peak weight. I've slacked off for a couple months now but I've still maintained that weight-loss, which is GREAT because it tells me that my body is aight with the healthy change. But, I'm trying to do some thangs -- and though I'm very happy with the previous weight-loss, I've got an ultimate goal that I will reach, because I love a challenge, AND I think it's going to aid in making my aspirations become reality -- but most importantly, it's going to keep me heart healthy I'm thinking about documenting my progress, and maybe filming it for a documentary like movie. I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately, and I've been itching to create one, I think this is the perfect opportunity. Anyway, who else is trying to slim down during the weight-gain quarter of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnd Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's awesome! Keep up the great work. I'm not trying to lose weight but I have become more health-conscious this year. It's almost an addiction now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does become a way of life. Mainly working out. My eating habits have always been pretty good so I don't have to focus a lot on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyricalLesson Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 It does become a way of life. Mainly working out. My eating habits have always been pretty good so I don't have to focus a lot on that. Excellent! I've always been really athletic, even with all of the extra weight. But my eating habits were not good. It's not that I ate very unhealthy, I just ate at the worst times, and coupled with a slower metabolism -- that meant that the weight packed on quickly. So that's my main focus, because I already genuinely like working out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyricalLesson Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I had a "fat" weekend Right now my diet consists of coffee, cigarettes and diet 7-up That's a terrible diet. although on the plus side, if you keep it up, I'm sure you'll hit that 3 lb. goal by the end of the week ...

And working out becomes addictive. I actually feel like shit if I stop for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyricalLesson Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 25lbs in 2 months?? You will gain that shit back by Jan 15.. Back in August I lost 16.8 lbs in 15 days to win a bet...and yes, I did gain most of it back because I ate like a pig afterward but I'm actually not worried about gaining any of those 25 lbs. back after the 2 month period, I'm in the zone Blatin!

And working out becomes addictive. I actually feel like shit if I stop for a few days. You're so right, I think it actually IS worse. I always skipped breakfast and ate a wack sized lunch, and then i'd eat a larger dinner late at nite as the day was winding down -- not allowing time for physical activity afterward. That's health-suicide right thurr lol. I feel like crap too once I'm in the groove of hitting the gym, and if I eat something crazy greasy or fatty, my body gets REAL pissed at me it's really a good thing though in the long run. It keeps me disciplined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimpy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Good for you! I'm inclined to say you'd be better off taking your time with it though. Drastic weight loss isn't always great either, cause like blatin said, it's easy to put back on. Making healthy the lifestyle and not just a goal will get you there and help you stay consistent, but who am I to talk.... I need to get back in the gym, bad. I was going real consistently for months, then one interference happens where I can't make it for awhile...messes up my whole groove. It's true though, once you get into it, it's very much a habit...I just need to get back to that place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow and steady really is the best way to approach weight loss. But honestly, the bulk of my almost 60lbs. really came off rapidly. Basically in 3 separate double digit spurts. And I've done really well to maintain the weight loss. I think with me, it's mostly mental because once I'm in the groove -- they weight really just melts off, it's not even forced. But you're absolutely correct, it needs to be looked at as a lifestyle change, not just a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it though, once you get past the mental block and really get into the lifestyle change, that's most of the work right there, especially once the gym becomes a habit too. Now I need to take my own advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need to take my own advice Thanks! Yeah, I'm a firm believer in having to be mentally prepared before you physically prepare, it's definitely more than half of the battle. Yes, take your advice -- it's really good! We can both motivate and get each other in the groove here on the board.
