after 90+ lbs lost i went shopping today for clothes and man i feel and look so much better, all id purchased before today was a few belts lol

my family allways complain cos i have lots to eat and loose weight while they eat there crap and get fatter lol

i used to do it religeously every day but ive not logged in months, maybe one or twice n i still loose 1-2lbs a week

i guess all that logging has just made me remember all the callories in the food i like to eat :)

i dunno :)  i dont really know much about water weight but i know you body retains water when you work out and it feels like ive worked out but over did it.

ive been here a few months :)

H: 5'11

SW: 280+

joined the site at the beginning of august and weighed 266

CW: 222

GW: 160-180 not really sure what to aim for

ive been doing alot of running over the past few months except for last 3 weeks where i got ill because of the cold but i lowered my calories to compensate which has seemed to do the trick :)

i weighed over 270lbs! i just ate what i wanted, fast food every day ( normaly a buy 1 get 1 free pizza and ate both!), lots of salt and lots of chocolate. 

I never drank water, i had fizzy pop to quench my thirst and i never excersised at all.

dunno how much calories that would be but must be alot.

now i keep to 2000 calories and weight train 1 day and go running the next day and have sundays off

well i went from eating nothing but fatty foods and chocolate and alot of it and no excercise at all, to nothing but healthy foods and lots of water and lots of excercise.

im really confused i dunno how much calories i should be sticking to

Mossi, I think the best thing for you to do is start using a tape measure to measure your progress. When I started lifting I didn't lose any weight, but I was using a tape measure and I lost one inch off my waist. Everyone should lift weights because it prevents bone loss which starts in the early 20s. Just keep your calories low somewhere between 1400-1700, lift weights, do cardio and you'll look awesome in a few weeks.

maybe i should give a little info about myself :)

im Male currently at 256lb    5ft11"  and ive been trying to keep at 2600 calories just cos the cc thing tells me to, even tho ive been struggling to eat that much, so should i cut my calories down to 1400-1700 which i can easiely do?

hmm so i worked out how much calories i eat a day and its around 1500 and i always feel full, so what do you suggest i should eat to get upto 2700 calories a day because that seems like alot.
