Ht. 6'3, Wt. Was 305, Now 265 - Hey, I want you guys to know how I lost 40 pounds in two months. Just about everyday I atleast run once, id say about a 2 mile stretch. I also go to the gym once a day, One day i will do weightlifting, the other i will do 50 minutes of Cardiovascular (IE: running, biking, eliptical). aFTER aBOUT 3 YEARS OF WEIGHT FLUCUATION I found there are about 2 diets that keep the weight off. The first is weight watchers, but seriously who wants to lose only 5 pounds a month. The second is a low calorie diet, which what I chose to do. Daily I have 500-800 calories, I know your thinking " you must starve yourself", WRONG. I dont eat alot but i could, If i was really hungry a could eat 1 MILLION pieces of celery and still be under 500 cals, its all about food choices. One essencial thing you will need on any diet is motivation, i feel like my motivation can bend steel. I want to encourage those whom are struggling with weightloss to go on a low calorie diet, and also exercise atleast 3 times a week, And as I have proven you can lose 20 pounds in one month. The most important thing is that i feel great and im healthy as an OX

In reality you are starving it and because of that it is eating away at your muscles for protein and it turns them into glucose for energy so eat more!

Reply from Dan, Age 17 - 08/14/05 - IP#: 63.162.23.xxx Julie I have lost 15% body fat and gained 13 pounds of muscle, I want you to argue with that please, enlighten me. THX SARAH , shekina and who else congratulated me!
Reply from Julie, Age 16 - 08/14/05 - IP#: 4.242.174.xxx So you're telling me you're going to live off eating a million pieces of celery? Besides, if you you eat under 1200 (I think that's the number) calories on a regular basis, your body goes into starvation mode, and holds on to all the fat, and food that it does get. You need a variety of foods to stay healthy. Just eat SENSIBLY.
