If you went for two hours without food, you'd look like a walking skeleton. Fucker.

I vote that all of us that want to lose weight should somehow manage to give it to pgg.

If I went 2 hours without food I would starve to death

As for the other. I would burn it off pretty quickly. Of course to do that I would have to charge a fee for the service

......and we still look at PGG and wonder where it all goes. I guess some of us are blessed with high metabolisms. I am 5'10" and 165 lbs. I can pretty much eat whatever I want, whenever I want and never gain a pound. I am fairly active at work, with lots of walking and lifting things, so I tend to burn it off as well.

Now my wife, on the other hand, all she has to do is look at food and she gains weight. She is two inches shorter than me but yet she is pushing 200 lbs, and NOT happy about that.

All I can say is to eat healthy and properly, and to keep the exercise or activity rate up. Over time the weight will come off. Do not expect results overnight, and stay with it.

I am doing a local "medical weight loss" program with Medical Weight Loss Solutions. I took the B6/B12/Lipo shots for a month along with a very doable eating program, and I've dropped 20+ pounds in a month. I'm also ramping up my exercise regimen and plan to get into CrossFit soon. I hope to lose another 30 pounds before I'm real happy, and would really like to drop 40 or 50 more.

CrossFit huh. Your body will thank you for losing some more weight first, specifically your knees. Check out thrusters on the CF site to see what I mean. That and being able to do any number of some of the movements. Seeing as how we are roughly the same build I am not making the mistake I have made in the past. I am going to get to my goal weight of 200lbs using cardio, calisthenics, and diet. I will worry about getting iron moving strong again when I am actually fit (not that I can't move some now as is). That smart phone app I listed above is working. I had a "bad" day today and finished at 99% of my daily calorie allowance.

The meal replacement shakes, may help the weight loss get started, but improving your diet and increasing regular exercise is what it really takes. I have given up drinking all soda pop, however I didn't give up caffiene. I drink ice tea and coffee. I refuse to drink Starbucks. I have adopted a Mediterranean diet...Google it. Because I work nights and find that if I don't eat something before I go to sleep in the morning I'll wake up at noon with a pounding head ache. I tried the meal replacement shakes and found they tasted like crap. SOOOO, I bought I really big container of EAS vanilla protein shake. I rotate using water, skim milk, and coconut milk for the shake. I always add fresh fruit of some kind and sometimes nuts or flax seed.

Here are a two of my favorite shake recipes.

one scoop EAS powder, 1 1/4 cup of skim milk, one banana, handful of frozen mango chunks. Blend

one scoop EAS powder, one cup coconut milk, one whole naval orange peeled, handful ice cubes. Blend

I can't say that I have lost a bunch of weight, because I haven't been able to stick to a regular schedule to get the number of workouts I need per week. However, I haven't gained a bunch of weight. I did lose about 4 pounds just from giving up the soda pop and increasing my H2O intake.

+ a million on the EAS. EAS Myoplex Lite Cookies and Cream being sipped on right now. 2 packets =

360 calories
4g fat
38g carbs
50g protien

12% of my daily calories. I mixed both of the packets with water in one container and I just drink on it during the first part of my shift. It is delicious.

I second (or third?) Weight Watchers. Worked great for me before I got preggo with the second kid. I haven't gone back yet, but I've got the basics, so I figure that's good enough, right?

I was going to start P90X last Monday...I did one day and said "eff that". I'm just not ready. So, I'm doing the Slim in 6 series first. So far, so good. Just keep moving and that'll help a lot.
