Thanks guys!

So far it's been pretty simple.

One, I had a damn good reason - a serious health scare. There is a funny story behind that too. :)

Two, I found a way to do it.

The way I did it was with diet changes and simple exercize - mostly walking. I eat 5 times a day, about 300 calories per meal. I always eat breakfast, then eat every three hours until my 5 meals or 1500 calories are spent. I drink 1/2 gallon of water a day.

Some of the most imporant changes to my diet came from eliminating full sugar sodas - or any source of calories from drinks, using PAM cooking spray, and watching calories to set schedule, especially the meals thing.

If you are smart you can make pretty big and tasty meals for only about 300 calories and yoiu can eat them 5 times a day.  

I even go to Mcdonalds and In-N-out several times a week - just order the right things the right way.

One last thing, I reccomend that youi guys stay away from Atkins type diets - most of the weight loss there comes from dehydration and that type of diet does not help with cholesterol or many other problems related to high weight.

I actually am doing the same thing.  Sorta.


Not really dieting, but getting some good exercise.

When I started (almost 3 weeks ago), I could barely survive a half mile weak jog.

Now I can go about a mile and a half uphill most of the time on a strong jog before my body starts to give out.  The pain from a cramp on my right side of my stomach is just too much.  But I've recently started to work through it.

I do have a couple of questions.  I'd love to listen to music as I run, but I only have a CD player.  It does have one of those "Anti-shock" features, but will this hold up to jogging?

Also, is it easier to jog late at night?  Or early early in the morning?

I go to MickeyDs when I wish to have violent diarrhea. So I'm not so certain you want to be happy you eat that vile mess.

Same with Wendy's and BK - stay away if you are concerned about health. I worked at Wendy's, stay the **** away!!!

I doubt it. Just breakdown and buy an mp3 player.

I dont eat Mcdonalds bugers. Their salads are pretty good though and have ben consistently fresh so far.

In-n-out burgers are always great though.

The point is therre are many ways to do this, even when you have no time but to use fast food places. :)

Hi Grunherz,

Congratulations on your success!

During seminary I began really packing on the pounds (we call it "Body by Berkhoff" [a theologian] and it comes from sitting around for hours reading and reading and reading while noshing on junk food.) A year after graduation I was pushing 220, so I went on the Atkins diet and cut it back to 180. Now I yo-yo between 180 and 190. Whenever I pass 190, I just cut out the carbs till I'm back to 180. Not healthy I know, but I just don't have the time or inclination for exercise anymore.

Reading and writing really will be the death of me. ;)

WTFG Grun!!!
I myself have had to fight the cholesterol gremlin so I've been on a diet myself.
Sometimes not "fun" but have discovered some actually good things that I would have never tried.

Here is the process the Atkins diet promotes in your body.

http://www.answers.com/topic/ketosis

But look, I'm not gonna waste too much effort in arguing against the Atkins diet. It's a marketing miracle because it tells American men exactly what they want to hear. It's hard to argfue against that.   :)

You see, Dr Atkins had a good point in his arguments against the overconsumption of higly processed carbohydrates such as sodas, sweets, and highly refined flours and I have integrated much of that in my diet changes.

But how that basic warning against eating too much junk sugar got turned into eat all the bacon you want and 3/4lbs cheeseburgers wrapped in lettuce being advertised as "diet" foods is a pretty sad story of the power of american marketing.
