Forums - General Discussion - So A Year Ago I weighed 320lbs and Had to Change My Life

so whats your exercise routine ?
how many days in a week do you diet / Workout ? , do you take any nutritions?

You probably lost all of that weight because you couldn't hold down your food while watching the Raptors.

Seriously though, that is quite a transformation that you made and you should be proud of yourself. Good job!

Nice :D. Congrats. It's just shows that it you make up your mind anything is possible. I also went from 227 to 154lbs in 1,5 years some years ago, even though I gained quite a bit of weight again by now (doesn't really show though xD). I just cut dinner and started exercising every day for 40-60 minutes or so by myself. But for the first 2 months or so I started by using Wii Fit, which, if you have lots of weight -is- effective in the beggining xD.

Wow, well done! I can't imagine the effort you put in to lose that much. I basically have been kicking my own ass for a little over a year, working out 4-5 days per week and I've still only lost about 25lbs, going from around 202 to 175ish. I've definitely slimmed up but I still have a bit of a bothersome gut. My goal is 170, then I start to work more on toning up with more strength training. I've got a ways to go to catch up to you in that area it seems..



Congrats !

Congrats man, not only have you lost all that extra luggage, but now you're packing some heat. You've bought yourself some extra life, enjoy it. :)



Now that is an awesome fucking story. Well done man.



I went through something similar. I weighed, in 2011, 265 pounds and today I weigh 180, trying to get down to 165.
Basically, I stopped eating nearly as much and exercised a whole lot more.
I use a droid app called calorie counter that seems to work, drink meal replacements and veggie supplements. An average day consists of:
1 egg
1 plain bagel
1 banana
2 meal replacements
2 amino acid supplements
multivitamin
vitamin D pill
Fish oil pill
Beef and lamb shawarma (with veggies and a pita)
Some chocolate
some protein infused yogurt (oiko brand)
and a salad.

My workout routine is a 6 day period which takes me about a week and a half.

I use a program on droid called jefit
Everyday program
Run for 30 minutes (about 3-4 miles)
Ab exercise consisting of 2 sets of the following routine
50 crunches
50 bicycle crunches
1 minute plank
30 reverse crunches
1 minute side bridge on each side
30 leg lifts

day 1 (all are 4 sets)
incline dumbell bench

20 pullups
10 chinups
dumbell side bend
50 ab crunch machine

day 2
just my daily ab workout and running

day 3

leg extensions

day 4
wide grip lat pulldown

dumbell side bend
ab crunch machine

day 5

shrugs

day 6

day 7

week 1 I do 15 reps with 4 sets
week 2 I do 12 reps with 4 sets at a higher weight
week 3 I do 8 reps with 3 sets at a higher weight
then I go back to week 1's 15 reps and increase the weight.



Most important to my diet change was avoiding sugar.
Milk has a ton of sugar in it unfortunately, so I only have skim milk in my coffee now.
No more sugar in coffee.
Only eat greens after 8
Big breakfast
medium lunch
small dinner

When I work out, I add more carbs.
My current intake is
20%fat 50% carbs 30%protein
though I'm trying to get it to
20% fat 30% carbs 50% protein
