It's hard to start, trust me. Once you get in the hang of the new diet and daily routine, it becomes easy as you become used to doing it. Also, once you see the pounds shed off, it motivates you to keep going.

I believe in you :yo:

what was your diet/training like?
Click to expand...

To be honest, I did very little cardio/weight training. I just kept very strict to my diet. I didn't starve myself, but I didn't cheat, AT ALL.

I did a calorie based diet, rather than carbs, because I had done carbs in the past and it is a recipe for disaster, as you end up putting back on more weight than you lost.

I ate a lot of oatmeal, corn flakes, yogurt, and fruit. As I'm 18 and living at home, I ate whatever was made for dinner, just a smaller, healthier portion. Also ate a lot of whole wheat wraps from the deli. Turkey was my go-to ingredient.

Eat a healthy breakfast and lunch, have a good snack or two in between and after lunch, and then eat a nice dinner, just don't eat too much and stay away from fried foods.

And the BIGGEST thing about any diet, is drinking water. Now that I've lost the weight, I've made a whole lifestyle change as I exercise and lift weights now, but the biggest reason for my success in losing weight and now maintaining it, has been that I only drink water. I can't remember the last time I drank soda. Think about it:

If you have a bottle of coke each day, that's 220 unnecessary calories a day. That adds up to 1540 calories a week that you can eliminate if you drink water instead. It goes a LONG way.

Pretty solid advice.

Weight loss is all about what you don't eat, not what you eat. Don't over eat, don't eat tons of sugars or carbs, and make sure you are burning more calories each day than you are consuming.

The hardest part of a diet is controlling yourself. Have to want it bad enough.

Lol look at my edited post.

And you need to make yourself more busy. Whenever I sit my ass on the couch on my computer, I get bored and feel the temptation to just forage around in the kitchen, looking for food. It's normal. That is why you need to make sure you keep yourself busy and active.

Find stuff to keep busy with outside classes. The more time you are sitting around not focused on anything, the more time you have to snack and cheat.

..also, beer/ alc kills me. has soo many calories. as does drunk eating..oh noo :cry::laugh:

Yup, and it's okay to do a little fun on the weekends, but don't go crazy. A couple of beers won't kill you, a 6 pack or more and then gorging while you are vulnerable and drunk will.

This, I play hockey for 5 hours every other day or so, it helps
Click to expand...

yeah. i played hockey up until last year. then "ended" my career due to concussions.
life story though:
2008, i absolutely DEMOLISHED my hamstring. I partially tore it playing hockey and then really hurt it bad playing soccer. I made this weird movement and immediately heard and felt this POP in the back of my leg. I was on the ground in agony, worst pain ever. I went blind from the pain, had black spots in front of my eyes, drunk from pain :laugh:
well..i couldn't run for 2 years after that. could barely walk for a year. of course, me being a dumb****..i didn't go see a doc until 6 months after my injury. had 4-5 doctors, none knew much. had many xrays, even had a mri, ct scan, and this weird **** where they inject you with a isotope and look at it going through you. and a turns out when i heard a pop, my hamstring tendon tore away from the bone, and tore bone fragments with it.

operation was basically out of the question because a) i waited too long and it regrew (badly though) and b) i was still growing.
So i went onto physical therapy. worst hell ever. everyday, every ****ing day. 7:30am, I had a nurient shot into my hamstring. then had a variety of laser treatment, ultrasound treatment, elecetromagnetic. hydrotherapy and the WILDEST, cryotherapy. literally went into a room, cold as BALLS. and just stood there, waiting for my dead cells to freeze off, or something.
Basically long story short..that's when i started getting "fat" haha. I played on a pretty high league team in the Czech Republic. Well, "played" i was on the IR the whole time i lived there. that's why i got all this rehab **** done. So me being used to eating so much and stuff, and then buring it off during hockey, i just packed on mass, "mass" :laugh: I've been lazy since. :(
