Nice! Diet only? Diet + exercise?
It is always diet and exercise. That is how weight gain or loss works, always.
Caloric intake vs caloric use.
Rephrasing for asshat compliance...
Did you lose weight by only changing your fucking diet, or are you also going to the fucking gym or something?
Because I am trying to lose weight, and not maintain. I am restricting my caloric intake, simply by eating less. I am eating what I always eat.
Because I am trying to lose weight, and not maintain. I am being more active, typically and hour on the treadmill every day on top of my normal daily routine.

Okay, so to paraphrase you to answer my original question...:
"Hello Obsolesce! Thank you so much for asking! To answer your wonderful question, I lost the weight by both changing my diet and exercise! To be more specific on how I changed my diet, I am simply restricting my caloric intake by eating less of what I always eat. As for exercise, I am being more active in addition to hitting the treadmill every day." --paraphrased JB

Broke 230 lbs this morning. Feeling awesome, but I know I have a lot more work to do. I've had a couple bad days in there as you can see lol
-
@bnrstnr keep it up (er.. down? idk how to word that)
-
@JaredBusch said in Fitness and Weightloss:
First goal achieved, weigh in at less than 100kg.
New checkpoint unlocked, weigh in under 100kg for 2 weeks.
Haven't hit the checkpoint yet. Still too close to it to feel comfortable either..
But still working on it.
-
@JaredBusch Nice going. How much water do you drink a day? Aim for like 2800 ml if you arent already.

Down 29lbs since around March.

Nice - what are you doing to accomplish this?

Calorie counting, and skipping breakfast (and often lunch) and making no effort to "eat with other people."
I've found that eating earlier in the day, and trying to eat when it is convenient for others rather than when it is good for me, are the top factors that derail my weight loss and make it hard for me to eat healthily. If I eat before I'm really hungry, I get hungry all day thinking about food. If I skip the early meals, I never get hungry in the first place (almost never), until late in the day.

Yeah - that has positives and negatives... a single time per day blood sugar spike isn't considered healthy by many - I'm not saying they are right or wrong... only providing 'their' opinion.
Currently I'm 6 meals a day. First week, lost 2 lbs and gained .6 lbs muscle (I am working out 6 days a week too)

Yeah, apparently by doctors who look at "averages" and don't consider individual health. It's one of those things where they don't research it and just repeat something that is pretty obviously untrue. Just because something is true for the median, doesn't mean that it is always true or even true for the mean.
It's called the flaw of averages, and one of the reasons to not trust doctors, is because something so basic, they never understand.

For the median, that's a great way to go. For me, it would completely kill me.
-
The same people who say to eat often, also say things like "only eat when you are hungry." So you can prove that it is BS, because the first statement is to eat when not hungry, and the second is to eat when hungry. Can't be both.

Yeah - we've talked about that many times before.

OH - I'm eating when not hungry most of the time.

Yeah, seems like a bad idea, right? LOL If you want to lose weight, and your body says "I don't need all of this food you keep making me eat", that seems off.

on one hand that makes sense - but on the other - it's about keeping the metabolism in high gear all day long.
I'm proof that it works... I've eating more than I was 5 weeks ago - yet still loosing weight and gaining muscle.
