Back on the Map


Been doing weight watchers..always thought it was incredibly gay and womantastic but it's actually a pretty good system.

Not going to any of their AA meetings or that nonsense but the online one makes you log what you've eaten so you tend to be more accountable and keep track of things. Kind of like weightloss via Catholic guilt.

Stopped drinking 15 shit beers and started drinking 2 or 3 good ones...hitting the gym on the regular.

Down 15 in about a month.

Jesus man, did you cut off your leg or something? That's what I call results. Is this online thing free? I don't really need to lose weight, but I really need to improve my diet.

Oh, I can't give up beer, it was given to us by the great god Ea, it is to me as weed is to a Rasta. :rolleyes:




Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Nope. Legs still there.

It's not free the first 3 months cost $60 all together then after that its 17 a month. I suppose after you get used to the ins and outs of the program or hit your goal weight you could just figure things out yourself...but that same rationale could make you lazy too I'd imagine. In the end $17 is probably worth keeping me on a healthy diet ...especially if you're like me and don't eat in volume but eat incredibly bad food.

It's kind of just retrained me, because you can eat anything you want on WW, but everything has a point value. So while I can eat an Italian Beef or slice of pizza, its point value is exponentially greater that all kinds of healthier shit I could keep filling up on all day long (some things almost limitlessly). It's a checks and balance way to keep track/monitor what you eat for lazy unorganized people.

and no...no giving up beer...in fact I've actually been drinking more beer since I've been on it....not sure how or why that happened...a 5% abv beer is 3 points and my wt/ht has me at 35 pts a day right now...so with a little planning it's easy to work in a couple beers with meals and stay WELL within my limits.

The diet stuff is the hardest to get. Some real easy things to are the following:

write down everything you consume in a day. You can use www.calorie-count.com to track and analyze your dayliy intake. It is free too.

Eat only non processed food. This includes all meats, fruit and vegetables. This excludes all cheeses and anything "in a bag".

Drink at least one gallon of water a day


Eat your carbs earlier in the day.

Above all, be disciplined and stick with it. There are no quick results. 1 to 2 pounds a week is a great tempo to be at.

damn, that/s impressive.
i tacked on about 10 pounds during the holidays.
already gave back about five, though.
i need a gym.
or a rowing machine.
when i actually exercise, the weight comes right off.
instead, i sit in front of a computer 12 hours a day.
whatever.
great job, jason.

After teetering between 199 and 201 for a while (I'm so lazy I've quit the gym all-together haha) I have now been under 200 for about 3 weeks, sitting pretty at 198.

I don't remember when I weighed that much, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been since sometime after HS. Feels good being down over 60 lbs.

I can't help but think that if I'd kept my regular gym routine I'd be about 180 by now...oh well.

Definitely the WW. The gym just helped speed things up. WW changed the way I eat and I think thats what the biggest part. Right now I'm at a comfortable 'points' amount where I can be bad once in a while and still lose, so if I go out to lunch I can get an Italian beef or slice of pizza once in a while or have a couple beers a day and it's not equaling a weight gain at the end of the week (still losing about .5 to 1.5 a week steady).

I'd like to lose a couple more, maybe get to 180 but if my point value goes down much further I'll really have to concentrate on what I eat big time and I'm really comfortable right now with the amount I'm allowed. I think if I could just hit the gym though and start a weight program instead of just cardio I'd be way more happy with the current weight. For some reason I've just been really unmotivated the past couple months.

Still doing WW online but I mostly just use it for the weight tracking now. Once you have the same amount of points for so long it's pretty routine...I haven't been actually tracking the points on there in a couple months which is probably bad because I'm sure I'm cheating a pinch here and there, but again...I'm still losing.

Well not quite....but approaching the 75lb loss mark. Almost there. From 265 to 192....12 more pounds to go and I think I'll be happy...180 is manageable, after that its just a matter of hitting the gym regularly to turn the flab to fab.

Fuck I hate the gym.
