I agree. It’s hard to quit something you work hard at.

Good job Israel! Even though you secretly wanted to lose the same amount of weight that you did the week before, I would say that it is much healthier to lose around 2 or so pounds a week. Believe me, when I was losing weight (240 down to 180), that’s the last thing I ever wanted to hear.

In any case, everyone at Go Healthy Go Fit is cheering you on, good luck bud!

All the Best,

Well said…will you be weighing in at all?

Great job Israel, keep it up dude. We’re at about the same stage, I was 320 on 1 Jan. Not weighing myself but I reckon 310-12 now, I’ve dropped a belt loop:).

I think it’s great you can keep the ice cream in the fridge. I’ve tried in the past clearing out anything “bad” from the house, but here’s the thing. You cannot avoid temptation, it’s everywhere you go. Unless you go and live on a deserted island somewhere (and don’t take any means of communication that would enable you to fed-ex candy bars in), it just can’t be done. So if we’re going to reach a goal and stick there forever like you said, we have to learn to deal with temptation rather than try and avoid it. Eat when we’re hungry, stop when we’re full, and learn to only want food when we really need it – which is what naturally slim people do without trying.

I am doing fine working out in my Shack. If I don’t see any results, which I have been seeing, I will just switch up things like my workout. I don’t plan on stopping.

The steps you taken are really perfect, my suggestion is, you can take grain food, herbal juices and soups at least twice in week which give you energy and stamina without fat.

Hi Israel,
Keep going it will take a little while to see real result and you are on the right track. I started last year and so far, I have lost 55 pounds. At the beginning, I did not see any weight loss, but I was loosing inches. Therefore, if in a week you do not loose any pound you might be losing inches and that count as well. Have you trying changing location? Maybe going to a fitness club? Why? Because when you work out with other people, you tend challenge yourself a bit more. Do not stop.

Thanks Muata. I am feeling pretty damn good physically. Calorie wise, I am keeping track of the amount and types of calories I consume.

Israel,

Congrats bro and keep it going. At your current size 2-3 lbs a week is a great pace my friend! As long as the numbers on the scale are going down, and you aren’t feeling burnt out, then you’re doing the right thing. If you’re not doing so already, please keep track of the number of calories you’re consuming. You don’t have to calculate for every meal if you eat from menus that you’ve already planned out in advance. As I said in my last comment to your other post, at this stage of the game calorie control is crucial because one of the hardest things for me to wrap my head around initislly is that I will no longer be able to eat the same amounts of food I did when I was over 300lbs, no matter how often or hard I train. And, this wasn’t a notion that “sunk in” over night either.

Keep up the good work …
