I am doing the ol' low-no fat diet. Have lost 25 lbs so far. 15 to go. Have to eat the most bland shit in the world, but if you can put up with it, it works well.

Congrats to all of you that not only know you need to lose weight but that are willing to try or have already started it. Taking that first step is the most difficult.
Oiler - Aim for at LEAST 6 meals a day. I can put together a suggestive menu for you. Technically I can not give you a "diet plan", because in the state of Ohio all I can do is encourage you to follow the newly-updated food guide pyramid. Only a licensed dietian/nutritionist can do that. (whatever!)
For the rest of you, I am a certified personal trainer. If you have any questions you would like answered, I would be glad to answer them to the best of my ability. I would also be more than happy to work with you to set up a realistic fitness plan for your lifestyle and goals. I will even bust your balls and make you beg me to let you stop the torture for a price. (My husband started taking kickboxing a few months ago and thought b/c of it he could handle one of my workouts. Lets just say the muay thai instructor ain't got shit on me.)
You can post here so everyone benefits, IM me here or get me through my business [email protected] if you need anything.

I've haven't been on any sort of regimen, per se. I've just tried to stick to two rules:
1.) "Get off your fucking ass!"
2.) Compromise on at least one significant item every meal (whether it's portion size, choosing something with lower fat versus what I REALLY want to eat, drinking water instead of soda or juice, etc.)
As part of the "Get off your fucking ass" campaign, I bought a bicycle today. Wal-Mart had a Schwinn with an aluminum frame (a halfway decent bike, in my estimation) for about 40% off. I rode about six or seven miles before it got too dark out. I used to ride all the time as a kid, and I'm excited to be able to ride again. Some of my favorite memories from childhood include riding the path from Yellow Springs to Xenia and back, and riding from Cowan Lake into Wilmington when I would go camping there.
Unfortunately though, I also bought a laptop this weekend, which is definitely not gonna help in the "Get off your fucking ass" department. Oh well, it's probably still a net gain, so I'm not doing too bad.

I'm a diet coker. Started when I went back to school after work and kept falling asleep in class. Got off it several times but feel sluggish in the AM. Hate coffee, not a real tea lover, any other alternatives?
Everytime I try to do my cardio in the AM, I feel drained for the next couple of hours. Have much more success in the afternoon but the scheduling conflicts pop up more often.
Being a professional dieter, I've found it's definitely what you eat that's the biggest factor with weight control. Exercise just gives you some latitude. However, being in shape was alway a higher priority for me than being skinny. Now with blood pressure issues, weight is a higher priority.
Is there anyway we can set up a board showing our beginning weight, goals, present weight and the methods we're using? Be cool if the experts could weigh in with advice.

beenthere - my plan was to set up a table with much of what you suggest. Unfortunately I have been busier than planned. My wife went to Sam's club and they had these enormous bags of Doritos that have been consuming most of my free time.
Just finished watching Super Size Me (finished a huge bowl of popcorn smothered in real butter while I was watching it too - no kidding).
I will get a table up shortly. Make it the first post in this thread and stick it to the top.

Yup ... I'm a popcorn addict. Buy a hot air popper and keep telling yourself you enjoy eating it plain or with only a little pinch of salt.Oh8ch said:
For my weight loss update I'm now down to 168 from 181, and trimmed my waist from 36" to 34-1/2". I never bothered to measure my chest when I started three weeks ago, but I can see results. The biggest change is that I can now maintain a 6 - 7 mph pace on the NordicTrack over several miles, whereas when I started three weeks ago I would get dizzy if I ran it up past 4.7 mph.

I haven't checked my weight lately, but when I gave blood yesterday, my BP was 100/60 and my pulse rate was 50. Those are the best numbers I've ever had in my life. My cholesterol probably still sucks, though, I haven't had that tested in years.

exercise tip of the day
BuckeyeBill - Get that cholesterol checked again!!
Been There77 - Soda now comes in 1/2 cans, buy those and only drink one in the am for a set time. Then try to go to one of those every 2 days, and so on until you are able to kick it. After watching Supersize Me are you avioding fast food? I saw that movie and everytime I see a chicken nugget I about gag.
If any of you are looking for a quick exercise that will cover a lot of muscle groups with minimum effort & you can do without going to the gym, do push-ups. (properly) You can mix it up a bit by making them diamonds,wide outs, crossing one foot over the other and switching. You can also do a plank, which is the "UP" of a push-up but instead of being on your hands you have your forearms on the floor. Hold this at long as you can, work up to 60 seconds. To keep the strain out of your neck and shoulders make sure to your face is toward the floor, not the wall in front of you.
Keep it up y'all!

Sitting around in my underwear....
Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie look like they wanna be part of the weight loss drive.
Put them, Mary-Kate, and Ashley together and you have the Olsen quadruplets.
