I'm down 18 pounds since Jan 3rd. Now I'm at 250. I hope to be close to the 30's in one week.

What??? You've lost 18 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks and plan to lose another 10+ in a week? How is this possible? This is even more than "The Biggest Loser" proportions.

If you don't mind me asking, how many calories are you taking in and what is your exercise routine?

I've been taking in around 1200-1400 calories. Plus it hasn't been 2 1/2 weeks its been 3 weeks. I have been running 3 miles a day, and I plan on doing more miles when my endurance goes up.

Also I should of said I hope to be at least close to the 30's. Maybe 243 or 244

My stomach would have already eaten my pancreas and my spleen and would now be working on my liver if I was only taking in 1200-1400 calories daily.

You guys have much more willpower than I do.

Nice work, btw.

Where I work is pretty much the gates of Hell if you're trying to eat well.

one day as I walked to the restroom I passed by doughnuts, bagels, candy, chips and cookies.... all for the taking.

I have to decline something new each day.

When I've dieted here and there, it's the exercise that makes a world of difference. Simply eating well keeps my weight the same; but it's the combination of eating well and exercising that makes the pounds come off. I've seen a number of overweight people who stop eating junk food but don't get any exercise, and wonder why their weight stays the same.

It's been 3 weeks since I stopped drinking caffeine and severely limited my pop intake. In that time alone I've dropped nearly 10 pounds. That's come without any real exercise at this point either.

It's amazing what happens when you drop ridiculous amounts of empty calories from your diet and replace them with water, vitamin water, and a couple of healthy snacks like a banana or orange throughout the day.

My target is 175. I was 195 when I started and as of Monday I was at 186. I'm 6'2, but considering my thin frame, I think 175 is my perfect weight. After I get back to that point, then I'll concentrate on toning back up.

Gotta get rid of my Buddah.

Dropped 9 lbs. total now since hitting the gym again. I haven't been super picky about what I eat, but have been watching portions. I am probably around 2000 calories a day.
