  • losing weight, my success

    Since last March I've lost 55 lbs of fat. I was 235, I'm now 180. I went from a 40 waist to a 34. I was taking 5 bloodpressure medicines a day, I'm down to 2 a day. My knees hurt so bad I was considering knee replacements at 62, now my knees don't bother me. Doctors won't tell you this stuff.

    I'm going to share with you all how I did it and I did zero exercise other than my daily duties at work that I've been doing for the last 31 years at the steel mill here in Midlothian. No perscriptions, no plan off the internet or readers digest or anything like that. I dreamed up this plan and it works for me and it could for you too.

    The biggest obstacle to losing weight is your head. When our stomaches tell us we're hungary, we eat. Hungar pains are not pain. Go hit your finger with a hammer, that's pain. What we call hungar pains is just your stomach converting over to burning your own body fat. If you're never hungary, you can never burn your own body fat. If every time you feel hungar, you eat, you can never lost weight. That's just a simple fact, the body is too efficent in converting food and it stores a lots of extra calories as fat.

    Starving yourself is also bad. When you starve yourself your body converts more of the food you eat than it would if you eat regularly.

    For me to lose weight, I have to tell myself that when I'm hungary, I'm successful because that's the feeling I'm wanting to burn fat. It's a powerful concept if you have the determination to do it. I've been dam successful some of these days.

    I figured out what I can eat that dosen't add fat weight to my body.
    some of these are , Grilled chicken breasts, Rice, beans, vegtables, zero fat cottage cheeze, natural youguart with fruit in it's own juice in it, nuts, fresh fruit and honey. I use sea salt.

    I avoid, White bread, anything fried, anything with flour in it, ground beef,
    corn, potatos, sugar, cheese, artifical sweeteners (aspartame gives me a 3 day headache)

    I've lost 55 lbs eating and not eating this stuff, I'll talk about each and what to look for when buying.

    Chicken, when shopping for chicken I was reading the labels and found
    out they inject salt in chicken, I guess as a preservative but different brands have a wide range of salt content. The regular raw chicken at Walmart has 180mg of salt per serving, the organic in the green package only has
    80mg of salt. I always try to pick the low salt and calory products but you have to read the labels closely to figure out which is best. I grill a couple of packs of the less salt organic chicken on weekends and put it in baggies on the fridge for supper or a after work snack on wheat bread with light miracle whip lettice and tomatos.

    Rice, I buy the Lumberg family wild rice in a 1 lb bag at walmart. it taste great. I cook it in a cheap rice cooker that I also use to cook a lot of things because you can put food in it and forget it, it turns itself to warm mode after it's done cooking. I also eat brown rice, I avoid white rice. I add fresh vegtables to the rice, carrots, bell peppers, onions, cherry tomatos, jalapinos, garlic, cummin, chilipowder or whatever seasonings you like but check the salt content in what ever you pick. Just throw veggies in there that you like, it takes about 30 min to cook. You can eat a lot of this because most of what you eat is excreated.

    Beans, I buy the walmart 15 bean soup package of dried beans. It will fill up a large crockpot when cooked so that means it's mostly water. I add about a 1/2 cup of rice to it, wild or brown. I've cooked about 15 batches of it and each was different because of different seasonings and vegtables in it. I looked for ham hocks and chooze smoked neck bones, when they cooked, all the bones fell apart and had to be picked out, what a pia. but, the pieces of meat tasted great. I usually cook the beans without meat. I cook them in a crock pot for 24 hours, turn it off for 8 hours, then reheat it. I think the flavors sucks up into the beans when they cool because it always tastes better when reheated for some reason. I put the beans up in containers for lunch at work during the week.

    Vegtables, You can use a rice cooker to cook vegtables, there are several different rice cookers. Some have a steamer in the top, some don't. They all just boil water and turn to warm when the water is boiled away and the temperature of the food rises. this means you can vary the cook time with the water level but beware, too much water in it will look a little like mount St Helens out the vent hole. till I got used to the correct water to add I put the rice cooker in a shallow pan to catch the water overflow.
    broccoley tomatos carrots a few small potatos, onions cut up or soup onions, fresh green beans, about any vegtable you want to try to cook will be great since, it's mostly water anyway.

    Nuts, My personal choice is the roasted peanuts in the shell without salt. I eat them with a apple for a snack. ( I think it's the green bag at wallmart)

    I also indulge in the 5$ mixed nuts with sea salt at walmart, Beware of too many nuts at one sitting, too many nuts are one of the main causes of hemroids.

    Bread, There is a huge difference in calories in different brands of wheat bread. I've seen some have 180 calories a slice. one of Mrs beards wheats has 35 a slice. It has 35 on the package front.

    Butter, I eat is Brummels and Brown yogurt butter, tastes great, less fat and calories and melts, it's in a blue looking tub.

    try this and be successful it worked for me and I'm thinking it will work for everyone.

    Don't worry about what you can't change.

      I guess I'm the only one that's actually lost weight by eating less but still drinking at least 18 beers per week. All I did was run more. I didn't change my diet or habits at all. I just ran more.

            Since when is eating less not a change in diet?

              Good job Charlie. It certainly isn't easy to do this stuff but it is worth it.

                              Good luck on reaching your goal. I had some success on the older Weight Watchers points plan. I lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks. However, I fell off the wagon and gained 2/3 of it back. To me losing is not hard, especially on Atkins. The true test of Will is maintaining your goal weight. That's a bitch, at least for me.
