It's really frustrating. I recently started to ct a lot of sugar and bad carb's out of my diet and I lost 20 pounds and I have stopped losing. In High School I was in great shape. As most of us were haha. I was at 215 I am 6'-2" and have a natural big build. Big feet, hands, head etc. so being really skinny (Under 200 as the say I should be) I would look funny. Anyway my maximum weight was up to 365. I am currently down to 345. (well add 5 pounds for all the crazy holiday food I ate, but it will be gone in a week). Anyway my goal is to get to under 250. I have a buddy who works out a lot and he has a friend who is in really good shape and is 6'2" as well he weighs 230, That's where I'd like to be, a great in shape and under 250. My resolution this year is to get back into shape, other than round. haha. Most people are shocked to know how much I weigh they say I "wear it well". Whatever that means. Anyway my goal this year is to make the lifestyle change for good. I have cut soda and alcohol out of my diet. I rarely eat bread and when I do I eat high fiber whole grain breads. Pastas are very rare. I take fiber to help reduce the absorption of any sugars I may eat to help maintain my blood sugar levels. I am not diabetic, but I am trying not to become diabetic, it does run in my family. I recently purchased a stationary bike as walking for exercise is difficult on my ankles this weight.
Thanks for starting this thread BB!

Heck yes! Everyone is allowed!
Sadly yo-yo dieting is very easy to do. You lose weight and see a good number and then start slacking and next thing you know you are worse off then when you started. It stinks right? If youre tall and big boned you will be able to "hide" more weight but that doesn't mean its not taking the same toll on your body! I hope we are able to help you make the change for good. Once you really get into the swing of things you wont crave bad food anymore. Good job cutting out some things from your diet. I admit I have ONE soda in the morning to wake up but its water the rest of the day. Just remember lots of lean protiens and veggies! And as for the stationary bike good choice! I have a tv in my workout room so I have no excuse not to work out, can hop on their and kick my butt and watch my shows too!
