I'm a big guy too, I have 370 pounds and I just started my diet, so right now is easy but I've been trying for years to lose weight and I always fail. My advice is to never go away from the scale, because is the scale that's going to be your reality check, the scale never lies right? My strategy is to weight myself everyday, some people might think is too obsessive but I do that not to find how much pounds I lost but to analyze the day before, what I did right and wrong and is a good reality check everyday. Before I started my blog I was doing a diet and I was losing weight during the week (not much) and gaining back during the weekends and that happens for 2 weeks. I was getting desperate so I sat down and thought about what I could do to change this situation, so I stop eaten cereal bars and moderate my food intake during weekends and I start to see the results coming. It's normal to have periods where you don't lose weight or even gain a little bit, but check out your weight so you don't lose your track.

Also keep your post about Cut the BS post in mind when you are going to eat. Make sure to make good meals and snack choices. Like you always say keep a positive attitude and things will work out.

The idea is to lose weight without starving yourself. The fact that you are having some difficulty just goes to show that this is the wrong plan for you. You need to develop a eating habit that is sustainable. No you probably will not lose a gazillion pounds in next to zero seconds but in the long run you will achieve sustained weight loss.

I know exactly how you're feeling. I've been skimping on my diet for the past couple months too. I know what you feel, the bloating, the guy, the disgust, etc. Since I graduated from highschool, everyone has been having graduation parties and that means free food and tons of it. I ate everything I could, even the things that I have avoided for the past year.... sweets. I had M&M's, chocolate, Sour Patch kids, twizzlers, and more M&M's. Just keep strong, moping over it now will not help, it's in the past. Just keep focused on what you have to do now! I'm getting back on the blogging train and I hope I can be consistent with it :D Kenny Hey man. I know exactly how you’re feeling. I’ve been skimping on my diet for the past couple months too.

Taking healthy food and do exercise every morning help me a lot. Now I am able to loose few pounds and feeling better than before. In my opinion don’t take fatty or spicy food and do exercise on daily basis. Don’t worry keep trying. I Faced similar type of problem few months ago.

I have to say, I have just come through a similar phase and I have renewed my efforts and I'm starting to get back on track. I have to apologize to you as I could have been more supportive to you by commenting more and encouraging you, will I make a commitment not to be a ghost visitor at FMU but I'll comment more.

Some would argue it's the most difficult step. In any case, recognizing and admittig it publicly is a great movement forward. My suggestion for motivation is nothing fancy, no colorful words of wisdom, or any quip-like anectodes. I would simply suggest: Get off your ass and start practicing what you love to preach. We all have our weaknesses, we all have our moments. Like you said, cut out the B.S. and get to it. What motivated you in the first place? Work it out before it works you out! My 'Pinch Prompt' post touches on this: http://www.2bestrong.net/2008/07/pinch-prompt.html Good luck buddy, I'm rootin' for ya! I'm here if ya need some good ole' fashion harassing!! Israel,

I was also diagnosed with high cholesterol and liver inflammation, so my wife decided to help me with my eating habits. It's great to have someone next to you because a person with weight problems usually can not do it himself/herself. I only exercised about 5 days a week for 30min-1hour each time. I started eating less rice. I don't exercise now, but probably just walk around the block 2 times a week. My metabolism is fast and I'm eating a lot more, but my weight is dropping. I have been watching your numbers here and have been waiting forever to see the new stats lol. You did go off-topic for a little bit, but great to see you back. -Mike I’ve lost a total of 45-50 pounds since my peak weight of 208.
