I'm Going on a Diet Plan!

[Kardashian]

My friend went on a diet and went to the gym everyday, he lost nearly 50 ponds in 2 months. I do not recommend that its might hurt you more a lot more then benifit you migth get from losing the wight. I would recommend something like 8-10 pounds a month but you have to keep it off.

I'm going every 2-3 days (max. and min.) - well done to your friend, though.

I just replied to your thread as well, keep up the good work, Dude(ette)!

Well done Josh!

Maybe you could do a regular post on the forum for extra support, advice and encouragement along the way?

Extra support on the forum? I know the first thing I'm asking the Quack - "After long hard days at the Gym, how many vodkas am I allowed?"

.. Hello, Support!

But seriously, thanks very much.. I'll include some updates, and hopefully in 2 months, some pics

1. I don't understand why your posting, then.
2. Its an open community, with users free to post what they want.
3. Its in the section of the forum where, I quote "random discussions about anything" can be posted.
4. You don't need to understand. You are not helping, or contributing to this thread - and both your posts have been pointless.
5. Just, don't.

Good luck with your diet plan It's a hard slog but once you start seeing results you feel inspired to keep going. I lost 40 pounds (Dont know what that is in stones) and I feel great.

You go, GIRL!. Urm 40lbs is about, urm, 14lbs to a stone sooo.. 3 stone-ish.. which is what I hope to lose!

Apparently, the first stone is the easiest (first 14lbs) - lets hope so!

I think I'll be happy with 28lbs, I'm giving myself until December. Lets hope I do it, 3 times in the gym every week, and a diet plan, and cycling/walking outside the gym.

diets tend to annoy me whenever anyone suggests one, i have the most perfect diet ever, and it's not an effort it's just what i like to eat. i hate my metabolism

(discalimer, i'm not fat, just a slightly unfit ex rugby player)

I've never considered myself 'fat' - to the point where its like ''gosh, Josh has put on weight'' or ''I really shouldn't wear this or that, I'm fat" - as I think the confidence I have, and that I take care of myself in other aspects kinda deflects the attention away from that - plus I have a big frame, people assume its my 'shape'.

I'm doing it for health risks, plus, I don't mind being overweight, which I would consider a stone extra - but I'm like 3, and I'm only 18 (well, 4 months).

It can't hurt, can it? And its not just dieting, its exercise, after I get fitter, and lose my initial amount, I will probably be allowed some of the foods we consider 'bad' or luxuries - just aslong as I do upkeep to keep the weight off.

I cycle about 10 miles a day up and down hills, i literally have to spend a hell of allot of time exercising for me to be fit, though i could weight train, i have like no upper body strength, I can just about do 10x push ups, 15 but it'll knacker me.

This is whats worrying me, I think my metabolism is very slow - which I bloody hope not, 'cos doesn't that mean I'll have to work out harder still? The fitter you get, the faster your metabolism gets, yes?

God I can't wait to go back and see this Doctor! No one depress me with bad news, just encouragement, and the offer of a voucher for **** or Envy or River Island - kindly donated by the members of MR at the end of it, thank you.

Edit: MR wouldn't let me type out one of my favourite stores, **** - French Connection UK.. incase you were wondering..

Stick to it!

I'm determined to lose the 2 - and if I'm still not happy with what I see.. I'll be light enough for the Lipo option

I don't have visions of being like a rake, just a bit less 'bulky'.

If you don't mind me asking, how much are you hoping to lose?

I weigh about 215 lb. But my target is around 175-180... Yes I hope I do stick with it. Maybe the technology will keep me motivated

Today I decided that I'll also go on a exercise plan.. I have a gym at uni that I pay for with tuition, so I'd better use it, right?

I'm worried that the freshman 15 is catching up to me.. I've been eating horribly for the last week or so, and while it may be purely mental, I think I look a little chubbier than since school began.


I'm with ya, Josh!
Moral support for all!

I can't believe you're considering lipo at age 18. Exercise, work harder, and get over the fact that some people are born slightly heavier. Toughen up. You're not even THAT fat to be considering lipo.

Surely losing 2 stones would put you in the normal weight range, and after losing 2 stones yourself, why would you pay to have them remove the extra stone?

Well done, KATIE! In a few months, we'll both look F-A-B!

WhooHooo!

I'm not. I'm considering it at 17.

get over the fact that some people are born slightly heavier. Toughen up

I don't need to 'toughen up' - I'm losing weight because I want to, so that when I'm older I'll have less health risks, and for the bonuses it brings in the short, as well as, the long run. I don't need to 'get over' anything - everything I have said in this thread has been positive, never have I said there's any issues or problems I need to 'get over'.

Surely losing 2 stones would put you in the normal weight range, and after losing 2 stones yourself, why would you pay to have them remove the extra stone?

Because after losing that much weight, after being this way for 5 years it could mean that my skin will be stretched in certain areas, which could make a tummy 'tuck' beneficial (they cut away a section of skin, fat and muscle - and then stitch it together - for 3 weeks after the operation you wear a compression suit - that pushes everything together.

Like I said, I don't want to be an Adonis, just have less 'bulk' (not that I'm even like WOW now)

Genetics has helped me avoid becoming overweight. This is both a good thing and a bad thing; while it's difficult for me to grow a tummy, it is also difficult for me to look built. So in a way, I envy everyone who attempts to lose weight, because just think of us poor guys who have to work so hard to gain it!

Anyways, I don't think that you are going to be able to healthily lose that much weight in 5 months. I'm not a doctor, so then again, I'm probably wrong. I take in about 3,000 calories a day, and 3,500 calories = 1 pound of fat. Losing 42 pounds in 5 months = 29,400 calories lost per month, which is about 1,000 calories a day.

If you can do that, then all the power to you. But that's a terrifyingly huge amount of calories, especially considering that I'm actually understating the figure - you will have to lose more than 42 pounds of fat in 5 months, as you will definitely gain weight by all the muscle mass you'll build.

Anyways, good luck with your endeavors. Drink plenty of water.

Sorry, I don't know what your going on about? 42lbs in 5 months? I only intend to lose 2 and a half stone, tops (35lbs). The Dr has told me, 1 hour sessions at the gym, 3-4 times a week, and on a strict diet, will get 14lbs (1 stone) off in around 6-8 weeks. Apparently thats the easiest to lose. The additional 21lbs will take 3-4 months. But after losing 14lbs - it will show a huge difference.

For starters, from what my Dr has told me - you over eat. I'm supposed to consume no more than 2,000 calories a day (1962, to be exact) - which you almost doulbe in your daily routine. I have a slow metabolism, and yours seems to be pretty fast acting if you find it work putting weight on - therefore you can eat more, so a diet for you, would be totally different to me.

I could probably lose the weight in 5 months, the 28lbs I intend to lose.

I noticed from this and other threads that when you post, you seem to exhibit some sort of an attitude when you reply. Just pointing that out.

The point he was trying to make was that losing that much weight quickly may not be healthy, and whether it's 42 lbs or 35 lbs, I think his point is still easily understood.

Sorry, I have no idea what you're going on about. He eats almost double the recommended daily calorie intake? Where did you get this? He only consumes 50% more than he's supposed to.

 

[ZoomZoomZoom]

Sorry, I don't know what your going on about? 42lbs in 5 months?

Sorry, I'm from America The whole stones thing throws me.

I actually do have to over eat because of my metabolism. Yes, it's a very sad truth that I have troubles when I don't over eat enough. Otherwise, I would imagine that I would turn into a stick. It's not as good as it sounds, really. I mean, it's nice when I'm back at home, but when I'm on campus and paying for my own food, it's not happy on the wallet.

14 pounds in 6-8 weeks sounds very tough, especially with exercise. Pending on how fast you put on muscle, you might be surprised at first with the weight you'll probably gain before that muscle starts working burning calories for you. Regardless of how your weight changes though, it's a good decision to eat more healthily and work out; people you know will probably begin noticing in a couple weeks, as you start getting more toned and fat gets burned.

Too be quite honest, Abstract, I've had enough of you in other threads. Get down off your high horse. I don't like you, and quite frankly, wish you wouldn't post on any future threads of mine.

You too have an attitude, and I believe that reply wasn't meant for you, or directed at you - so keep your nose and opinions out.

The point he was trying to make was that losing that much weight quickly may not be healthy, and whether it's 42 lbs or 35 lbs, I think his point is still easily understood.

I also said I would hope to lose only 28lbs in the 6-8 weeks, not the whole lot. Thats still within the 2lbs a week 'healthy' amount.

He eats almost double the recommended daily calorie intake? Where did you get this? He only consumes 50% more than he's supposed to.

With what my Dr has told me, yes, that is eating double the recommended daily calorie intake, for me. I also said, with his high metabolism, our diets would totally differ.

And 50% more is double, Abstract.

I'm not sure, y'know - think I would rather be at your end of the scale than mine.. at least you can wear anything, right?

Lets hope! I didn't mean to sound sarcastic earlier by the way, so sorry if I did. But I've been told I could healthily lose 2lbs a week, and over 2 months, thats 14lbs - which is a stone, and just under half (or 50% for some people here) of what I want to/intend to lose. Just hope for the best and see how it goes, I'm not giving up, anyhoo! I want to be changed in a year - not to a fitness God, but just 'normal'.

My little brother wears clothes a size larger than me now. I used to pass my old clothes to him, and I'm afraid it might eventually go the other way.

I didn't mean to sound sarcastic earlier by the way...I want to be changed in a year - not to a fitness God, but just 'normal'.

I used to be overweight when I was a lot younger, before the metabolism kicked in, so I can sympathize with some sensitivity when it comes to weight. No worries on becoming 'normal' though - whether or not you hit your weight targets don't matter, because the way that you're losing weight - restraining food a bit, and exercising - is going to make you look better, whether or not you end up losing those stones.

Just don't give up with it. That's probably the most important thing to keep in mind, because letting loose for one day - you know, satisfying a one day craving for a bit of cake - can mean losing a fair amount of progress.

If I could get down, and lose maybe a stone and a half by Christmas, I would be REALLY happy!

Then, if I stuck at it, I'm not gonna get fatter, am I? Anyway, lets see what the big weigh-in, and Dr's report brings in this week.
