Fucking driving me nuts. I cut out fast food, soda, most junk food and eating less. Maybe start doing some aerobic stuff in the morning?? I know I need to do some cardio, but I don't think my weight should be climbing right now.
   Gonna make a doctor appointment.
Edit question: My rapid weight gain coincides with me going to a clinic to get my testosterone levels increased. My testosterone levels now look good however my estradiol levels skyrocketed. I am now on arimidex to help bring that down. Think that may have something to do with it. New edit: Bloodwork shows low T4 |

Atkins is currently working for me. I've dropped about 25 lbs over the past 2 months and have another 25lbs to go.
I don't have to starve myself and I cheated over Thanksgiving. Pizza, potatoes, and desert  Its pretty a easy diet to stick to. Breakfast is eggs and bacon/sausage. Lunch/dinner is meat, cheese, vegetables, over a bed of letttuce. |

If you have a smartphone download MyFitnessPal and track everything you eat... It will give you your daily calorie allowance to lose 2lbs per week. If you don't have a smartphone you can do it on your computer, its just much easier to use the phones camera to scan stuff. Also, walking even 10-30 min a day will help a lot.

You post a lot about lack of weight loss
No one but yourself can make you lose weight Stop eating so much. I didn't care for 10 years. And then I did care and lost 45lbs in 3 months. Sure I was hungry. Sure it sucked. But I wanted to lose the weight |

Check into the 17 day diet, I started it Sept 30th and have dropped 31 pounds already and I'm never hungry. More of a lifestyle change on how I eat instead of an actual diet I think.

Track what you eat. How much are you gaining per week?
If you are gaining a pound per week remove 4000 calories from your weekly diet and do some moderate exercise, you will start losing at the same rate. Eat good food too. |

I use Lose It. I'd say use it or one of the tracking programs to see exactly what your caloric intake is. Its very handy for tracking and will tell you how many calories you should be consuming to maintain your current weight or how many you should consume to hit a target weight. Just because you cut out the stuff you think is bad, your calorie intake might still surprise you. Especially if you drink beer.

I lost 70lbs over a summer by eating a bowl of oatmeal & fruit in the morning and a salad & sammich for dinner. Took my vitamins too. I could do over 100 pull ups, and I did sit ups through the entire duration of the original Lord of the Rings DVD. I was 130lbs, which was actually about 20lbs underweight, but I felt great.
...I think I'm @ 10 pull ups and maybe 50 sit ups right now. 210lbs.
Thyroid. Go get your level checked and get back to us. This. Most likely due to Iodine deficiency. Maybe start taking some iodine supplements? Seaweed caps or something. |

http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/8-ways-to-burn-calories-and-fight-fat
When you exercise, you use muscle. This helps build muscle mass, and muscle tissue burns more calories -- even when you're at rest -- than body fat. According to Wharton, 10 pounds of muscle would burn 50 calories in a day spent at rest, while 10 pounds of fat would burn 20 calories. "The most effective way to increase metabolism and burn more calories is by aerobic exercise and strength training. Both are important," Megan A. McCrory, PhD, a researcher with the School of Nutrition and Exercise Science at Bastyr University, says in an email interview. Strength training becomes especially important as we get older, when our metabolisms tend to slow down. One way to stop this is to add some strength training to your workout at least a couple of times a week. The largest muscles (and therefore the largest calorie burners) are in the thighs, abdomen, chest, and arms. At the end of the day...eat less, move more. |

Take a look at the Super foods diet.
It will cut your carbs, sugar, and red meat. I don't have weight issues, but decided to try this out to lower my blood sugar and cholesterol. I have lost about five pounds with this, never missed it. My wife is on this diet for weight loss. You also need to get out and move, run, walk, and weights. I do all of the above. |

I have dropped almost 40lbs since August.
6'1 and went from 284 to 247. All I have done is: quit having alcohol around the house to drink ( rum whiskey beer whatever - yes have drinks when out socially ). The soft drinks / pop obviously were mixers to drinking - all GONE. I drink nothing but water when at home. Eliminated all taters bread rice from diet. All chips and other snacks GONE. I am watching portion control now as well. I do not starve myself. I eat healthy meals with meat fish chicken - lots of veggies. I have a big salad at least once a day. I snack on baby carrots apples and bananas. I keep Yoplait lite yogurt around for a sweet desert snack. I eat peanuts pistacchios to satisfy the snack cravings. I just started an exercise program this week and I expect another 25lbs to be gone by Valentines Day. My goal is 210 Losing weight is a cinch if you really WANT to lose it. You simply eat less - DON'T eat what you know is bad for you and up your exercise / activity level. Buying a bunch of videos and gimmicky bullshit devices will make your wallet lose weight. best of luck |

Sparky, whenever anyone starts an I-wanna-lose-weight thread here (including yours), there's always a huge group of people telling the OP to quit with the dead carbs (breads, cereals, oats, corn, rice, wheat, sugar, pasta, potatoes, etc.) and to increase their intake of meat, eggs and low-carb, high-nutrition vegetables. The OP hardly ever responds to these suggestions. Why is that? Is it because you've tried it and it failed or is it because you don't think it could possibly work? I bet it's not the former.

How much salt are you consuming? Sodium causes you to retain water. If you are exercising, muscle is denser than fat. Watch your waistline, not the scale.

I finally went vegan, my best pal had tripple by pass and started vegan and I decided to try it. I have lost about 38 pounds, I am 58 and my weight had been going up for quite a while.
Also it helps alot to write down everything that you eat, keep a small note book or use your smart phone, there are apps for that. This way you can track your calories. Also it helps to avoid processed foods, our bodies don't seem to like those as much as non processed foods. www.forksoverknives.com |
