Neat weight loss site

Okay, so just before Christmas I was 251lbs on or about November 27. After Christmas I was 275lbs and went to get my physical finding cholesterol had went from 175 to 270 or 275. I drank a lot of Nog. Anyhow, my wife and I went on diets with a website called Loseit.com . I started my diet on 1-10-12 and as of yesterday 3-3-10 I had gone from 275 lbs to 244 lbs.

The software is pretty good, it lets you add exercise to your day so you can eat more. It knows what dishes at the outback steakhouse or stuff in your grocery store have for calories. My favorite thing though is that if I know I'm going to be having a party like for the superbowl, I will just exercise my butt off and bank calories for two days so that I can splurge for the party. I am hoping that this program will teach me some restraint for life. At the very least loseit makes it painfully clear the relationship between eating and exercising.

Anyways stats are were as follows

I am 6'2" tall

January 10
44" waist
XXXL shirt
275 pounds
Cholesterol 275

March 3
On the edge between 38" and 40" waist
XL to XXL shirt
244 pounds
Cholesterol unknown, getting another blood work soon.

I'll report back on April 3 + or -. My goal weight is 220 pounds which is 5 pounds less then what I weighed in High School.

Thanks.. I'll look into it. I've been on the gaining side lately and need to stop. I'm 6'2". 18 months ago I was 225#, now I'm up to 242. In the last year I've quit smoking and underwent a major back surgery that kept me inactive for a while.

Sounds like you may have found the answer Tim.

6'2" seems to be a pattern here - I am as well! I was around 240 1/1/11 and I'm below 180 now. I don't drink, I do smoke. I cut carbs down a LOT and just ate less. My room mate is a "Paleo Diet" guy, so I follow it somewhat, it's been VERY effective for me.

Carb are more of an issue than calories. All Diabetics need to work around carbs and not calories but the FDA has always pushed Calories. If you watch this show all the way through you may learn even more to help you as it discusses how your body breaks sugars down and more. I am happy to see you losing weight but bet if you cut all whites or carbs a bit more you will shoot down even faster.

This show by the way gets into the Liberals and how they have pushed agendas on us. Rick B

Rick, I know what you say to be true. I went down to 220lbs about 8 years ago and I had a starting point of 304lbs. I made that trip quickly and easily. Here's the rub with the carb focus, I do not find it easy to maintain the weight loss. I have a very limited list of items I like to eat.

I hate fish
I hate chicken, unless it's KFC
I hate anything that fly's or swims.

I do like shell fish
I do like beef and pork

This leaves a very very narrow diet plan for me.

I can get the weight off on Suzzane Somers or Atkins, really the same thing, but I can't keep it off because I get bored with my menu.

Carb counting allows me to eat bread (even white bread), yogurt, chocolate cake, pasta, anything I want. My hope is that when I really learn the number of calories I'm consuming, and I have a broad number of entree's to choose from, I can keep the weight off.

I am 5'9" also, maybe 5'10" on a good day.

All this talk of food is making me hungry again. I hope there are still some Swiss Rolls left.

Thank you for sharing your success, and offering inspiration.

I'm going to try this site, and like the idea of being accountable to something. (Since I cannot trust myself)

Jeff's sister and I are the same. that would be cool, never saw a girl that tall before. It might even be intimidating.
I'm 283# right now. I used to be 240's before I met my girl. Needless to say we like to gnosh.
Now I've got a little bit of a fast heartbeat, plus getting out of breath faster than I used to. I've found the biggest thing is just not feeding the machine so much. However, it's easier said than done.

You have to turn that switch on that says "I mean business". It's a tough switch to turn on, but when you do, you can do just about anything.

That switch has been on full for so many different things over the last year or so that maybe it's just worn out....

Dangerous to gaining weight! Looks like a great idea though and another reason why regulations need to be unobtrusive. New ideas can never flourish if we're stuck going 55 in a 20th century vehicle.
