i have just hit 50lbs lost out of 64 all thanks to calorie count and the addition of exercise if you stick to your calorie counting you will reach your goal.

yeh it takes much more than that for people to start saying "hey you've lost weight",

i have gone from 260 down to 218 so far (6'2 man),

it was only recently that people started saying wow you've lost a lot of weight especially since my first beach outing last weekend, for once i was actually one of the slimmer guys there :)

so just keep at it, although remember you are doing this for your own happiness and health not the opinions of others, but i do know that the occassional compliment feels good.

good luck

i miss binging however i do not miss the body it produced, like sitting in front of the tv on a friday night after work and eating an entire peperoni pizza to myself.

but those days are hopefully long gone, so i can go to the beach (like this coming sunday) and not feel so uncomfortable that i don't actually go on the beach and just sit at a bar close by :(. learning to keep my diet under control is one of the best things i have done for myself in the last few years and i'm very grateful for the nasty now ex gf that constantly ridiculed me over my weight and reminded me how unattractive it was so taht one day i stood up up and said you know what im gonna lose this, so i dont have to lower myself to a person like her again.

now im 40lbs happier 20lbs to go :)

my pizza binging started when i moved to a foreign country for my career and i knew absolutely nobody on the island, once the excitement of living in the caribbean and  the nice salary wore off, i was basically very lonely and depressed with a lot of time off with nothing to do, so i just used to sit at home ordering pizzas and playing video games to pass the time, even once i started to make friends its as if the seed was sown so i started eating heavily whenever i felt down, which made my situation worse and created a viscious cycle because i have now been here 6 years and have reached an age that i would like to meet a potential wife and have some kids but the weight problem i created has made it very difficult to meet nice women and so i would feelk lonely again and guess what eat.
