No Snacks, no sweets, no seconds. Except on Days that start with S. Too simple for you? Simple is why it works. Look here for questions, introductions, support, success stories.
Wow, you look great. You look like a different person. Did you lose all that weight on the NoSDiet? I will post a picture when I lose some weight but I just started this!
I know I look a lot better then in December 07, which is when I started working out regularly. However I don't have good pictures to demonstrate that before and after... And the change is so subtle; people might think I'm nuts!
I have a similar reservation to Nichole's. I'm regular weight so I'm thinking it seems sort of "in your face" to post my picture when others are really struggling with obesity. The truth is that I have battled all my life to keep my weight near normal, though I veer into the overweight BMI now and again. My parents both tend toward the heavier side. I exercise a LOT to stay where I am, and I'm not skinny given how much I workout. The eating part of the equation has always been so hard for me - - at least until No S. I'm actually feeling like No S really could be for life for me.
p.s. Congrats on your pics!!! You've obviously done a great job losing weight, and you and your girlfriend make a lovely couple too .
I'll probably post a before and after picture ... but only in november 2009, when I am done with the bulk of the weight loss ... I'll put a big black bar on my eyes though, cos' I wouldn't want to be IDENTIFIED !!
5'10" ... 280 to 190 pounds within a year's time is my ultimate goal (231.6 now less than 5 months in so I'd be surprised if I didn't at least hit the 190's, lol !) but of course I'd be pleased even if I ended up at 205. I'd finish up the remaining pounds within the next few months anyway.
Ok, I was checking out my pictures last night. I selected 5 different ones I'll post here in november/december 2009 ... most likely. (I put them all together, so it's only 1 picture with 5 different images, you see...)
It was pretty shocking to see the 'before' pictures actually, Definitely a lot of improvement now... I've lost 50 pounds since those were taken ... and I hadn't looked at those since I began (I always hated looking at my pics cos' I was always too fat) ... at least 30-35 more pounds to go though ... but it is really motivating when I look at the old 2008 pictures, that's for sure.
I also have a few songs I like to hear as motivation. No easy way out by Robert Tepper, always a favorite of mine. (From the Rocky 4 soundtrack)
