BP.Net Weightloss CHALLENGE

i'm in!!! always happy to release a little more weight. i figure 30 more pounds should do it. ;)

:I too would disagree with the bmi charts they say that at 5'9" I should weigh about 160-1701 O.k. whatever. Even when i was in the marines running 10 miles a day, the lowest i ever got was 182 with 2.9 percent bodyfat! Even today many moons later, i can still bench more than my weight and I think that's pretty good for 35 yrs old. i go to the gym 3 days a week and try to walk on occasion. I will say if you feel healthy and live healthy, you WILL be fine.(insert cat call whistle):gj:

holy cow, 5'9'' and 182 at 2.9% body fat?????? I'm certainly impressed.

BMI charts don't work for people who are putting on muscle weight.

well i'm 5'4" and 151 pounds and my bmi is 26.2. a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered a "normal" weight. and honestly... i don't look bad at all. i think it's rediculous to be honest.

but, i am happy to release more so it's not an issue... but ya... BMI is rediculous.

You need to remember though. I WAS in the Marine Corps back in the early nineties. At Base we ran about 10 miles a day, and on some heavy days, we ran more. I stayed hungry all the time. When I got out, I did'nt run nearly as much and it did'nt take long for the weight to catch me :rolleye2: I would need to lose around 50 pounds to reach 182 again. But, i still feel healthy and still workout. However, according to the bmi charts, I'm considered morbidly obese!! they are crap!! I don't go by any charts, b/c I see " healthy "
people all the time at the gym who i think are very weak by what they are moving.

I am in! I need to lose about 15 pounds and I NEED motivation and somebody to hold me accountable. I am 5' 6" amd right now I'm 145. :( I am a runner, but I have been injured so I 'm just getting back to it. 1st workout is tonight. Good luck to all of us!

I'm at 228 lbs now. I can't rem what my last posted weight was. I started eating a lot of steamed veggies and rice, and drinking sweet iced tea instead of sodas. I want to start walking more, but it's hard to have time.
I've cut most of the candy out, although I don't NOT eat candy, I just don't buy much at a time. I try to not eat out, especially not fast foods. And in the morning, I drink two glasses of something(tea, juice, coolaid) instead of eating anything right away.

I have found this to work pretty good. Trick your body !! try to be hungry for at least an hour before you eat. and the ONLY eat until you are not hungry anymore. If you eat slow enough this will take about twenty mins. Take a drink between bites and drink WATER with your meals. sodas and juices tend to be more gas producing during a meal when mixed with food. drink them between meals as a treat. lighten up on fried foods, but do not go off them. you body needs some fat intake or it will stop burning calories as fast. Once a week or so, eat the burger, but NEVER the fries!! You should eat 5-6 small meals a day. If you must snack before bed, make it a fiber related snack. That way your body will have a present waiting for you in the morning, and you will get off to a great start.If you starve you body of one particular thing, protien, fat,carbs, it will revolt on you when you start to take it back in. don't count calories or grams. it's in my opinion, that it's how much and how you eat and not as much as what you eat to a degree. The staying hungry for an hour thing is b/c when you first feel hunger, if you drink a glass of water, it will almost always go away for close to an hour whils the water settles whatever food is left in your stomach. Try it if you want and let me know what works for you . It worked for me real good .29 pounds in 60 days
It goes slow for the first week or so, but then the pounds seem to melt off quik. But REMEMBER it's a lifestyle change not a diet! Good Luck:gj:

Your body absolutely 100% does NOT need unhealthy fat to burn fat. Try adding some hemp oil, flax oil or even extra virgin olive once a day - 1tsp. It's all your body needs. You can also add avocados are these are very healthy fats.

Add way more raw fruits and veggies to you daily regime. Try to stay away from nuts although raw nuts are much better so if you need to have some... add raw nuts.

Give up white sugar and white flour and you'll be amazed at how much better you feel and how much weight you'll release :)

I was'nt implieing that you needed fat to burn fat, but your body has it's own fat stores, and if you try to depleat it, then, your body will start to rebuld it anyway it can, and slowing down the bodie's metabolic rate is one way it will do it. Thus burning less calories. all of this is in my opinion only. based soley on what has worked for me. everybody is different. I myself have had good luck with the fast food thing. My wife is a corperate supervisor for Mcdonalds so it has been a very hard lifestyle change, but it's been worth it. find what works and go with it.
