Life **** OFFICIAL 2015 Flopnut's Fatties Weight-loss Thread**** - Page 5

**The Franchise** · 01:14 PM

We didn't do it last year but we did it two years ago and I'm bringing it back. Post in here if you want to drop some poundage and I'll add you to the main post. Set yourself a goal and then post in here to be held accountable. If you want....we can track your weight-loss all year long and then crown a winner at the end of the year. I know in the past that posters have put up prizes (not necessary).

Let's do this shit....

FYI: This is not a thread to start arguments over which way is the best way to lose weight. There are different ways for different people. Keep the stupid shit out of this thread.

That's the way you do it. Reasonable changes in what (and how much...) you eat and how much you exercise. It's slow but it's steady and it can bring life long change.

We forget that diet (and even exercise) is an industry. Fads end in failure and lead to yet more fads. All of us, especially this time of year, set these crazy, unrealistic goals, and ultimately doom ourselves to failure before we even start.

Why? Because we want to be fixed right now and we want it to be easy.

End result is a rollercoaster ride of diets and exercise plans and yoyoing weights and at the end of the day a lot of us really being disappointed with ourselves.

It's easy, but it's not fast. Move more. Eat less.

I think the best thing people here in this thread can do is keep it a place where the words 'fat' or 'fatty' or anything even remotely derogatory is thrown out the window. What I think everybody needs is a supportive place, not to brag or boast or make people feel worse about something we all probably hate about ourselves under the surface. No shaming, just advice or a place to vent or plan or whatever, but realize it's got to be a lifestyle change, and it may take longer than you want, be harder than you want, but never give up. Keep pushing ourselves. And to celebrate people's success along the way.

Just my 2 cents. Good on you for your progress, by the way!

Shit, I don't need chips to eat salsa. I'll eat from the jar with a spoon. Tomatoes are candy to me.

I started by counting my calories and giving myself 2,100 a day...500 or slightly more for breakfast, 200 for mid-morning snack, 500 for lunch, 200 for mid-afternoon snack, and 500 or slightly less for dinner, and 200 for snack (or less).

I don't monitor carbs, but I do try to keep my fat intake low (but I've found that for the foods I eat, calories and fat kind of go hand-in-hand.)

Also, I work my butt off. I will exercise vigorously at least an hour a day, usually on the stationary bike in my man cave but I'm also riding a road bike. Then, the better I've felt, the more active I've been with my kids, leading to street hockey games, ice skating, more walks with my wife, and longer bike rides when I have time.

On a Saturday, I'll usually go out and do about 30-40 miles with 1,500-2,000 feet of elevation.

I'll attach a before and after if I can figure out how to do it.

CaliforniaChief · 01-06-2015, 12:05 PM

Here's a before/after pic, although it's more of a before/during pic, because I'm not done yet.

**The Franchise** · 01-06-2015, 12:05 PM

That's ****ing unbelievable man. Awesome job!

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-06-2015, 12:07 PM

Holy shit. Thanks for the added motivation homeboy. Congratulations. We'd talked about that years ago. I didn't want to call you out flat out in the thread though. I know how personal it was for you. I'm so happy right now. You did it bro! Now finish strong!

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-06-2015, 12:08 PM

Treasure that woman for life. I out kicked my coverage as well, and you can't buy that kind of loyalty.

Hootie · 01-06-2015, 12:19 PM

I'm in.

I'm at around 210 lbs. I want to get to 190.

My goal is to run 2-3 miles every day on my treadmill. Yesterday I hit 2 miles. So, ideally, 15 miles a week.

That's really all I want to change, and that, alone, should get me to my goal. Eat A BIT healthier.

Oh, and while we're at it, less gambling. No machines in 2014, at all.

WOW!

Hootie · 01-06-2015, 12:22 PM

I need to figure out my eating habits, too. I basically have a diet that consists of a lot of Panda Express, Chiptole, various types of pizza (authentic, Pizza Hut, bowling alley, etc...), Jersey Mike's and BW3.

I am so picky and I always crave these things and these things only.

I need to learn how to eat healthier and eat cheaper. Every time I go to the store I end up wasting bread, lunch meat, everything ... because none of it ever sounds appealing.

I need help on this in the worst way.

thumper118 · 01-06-2015, 12:23 PM

I have been a long time lurker of this site. I have always followed along from the outside on these different challenges and topics. I am going to jump on this band wagon to see if I can use this as motivation to get my fat ass out and working out and eating right.

Current Weight: 300.7

Goal Weight:230

Good luck to all!

NO machines?

Hootie · 01-06-2015, 12:37 PM

they are terrible

I win every time I go to the boat and play poker. If I need to gamble, I'll drive my ass to Peoria on Saturday and rape.

I went wasted with some buddies a month ago and won like $380 in 3 hours.

I went this Saturday, drank a little, and lost $170 in 3 card poker, went and sat at the poker table when my name was up, and won $611 in 4 hours.

Online poker shutting down has made all of the 18-25 year old "pros" (lol) absolute fish. It's hilarious. Knits are knits. There was 30 people playing and there wasn't a single real poker player in the room. I crushed everyone.

I literally think I could rattle off 90% winning sessions in that card room on Saturdays (the only real good day to go from what I've heard).

Hootie · 01-06-2015, 12:38 PM

(but I won't derail this thread any further)

2015 for me is : running, cooking at home more often, no god damn slot machines. Want to get under 200 and eventually start lifting again.
