    I started a diet recently as well, I've never been overweight, but 2 weeks ago I reached 202lbs (heaviest that I've ever been) and my height = 6'1"... I got a bit scared, I don't look fat, but I'm turning 25 this year, my metabolism has changed a lot, and a lot of friends my age are gaining weight, so I started a diet based solely on eating less. During my first 10 days I lost 10lbs... Now it slowed down a bit, I'm currently at 190lbs and losing a bit of weight every day. My goal is to be around 180lbs, which is what I used to weigh 3 years ago.

    Good job on those 22lbs, it feels great to lose unwanted weight doesn't it?

    i've heard that before
    good progress over such a short period though.

    It is all very simply, don't take in more calories than you burn during the day. No exersising, no hamburgers.
    Buy a bicycle, walk, leave your car in the driveway.
    That's right henk, Ive started to try and eat better, not as many carbs, less junk food, healthier snacks and regular meal times and not missing meals and have lost 10kg. I actually feel a heap better and the lose of weight is a bonus

    I think I'm the worlds biggest hater of diets. Sorry to sound boring, but i cant, and never will, see how a diet can last any longer then the time your on it. I'm a big fan of smart eating, eating normal for the rest of your life, whilst still enjoying good food and never starving. A routine that is long term, not short term like a diet. When you make a smart plan and stick to it, 2 things happen. 1st is you loose weight. But most importantly you wake up your metabolism. But any weight loss needs exercise, and you need to work out what best suits your body. But never starve and miss a meal. Find some light snacks fruit bars rice crackers eat in between meals, instead of snacking on bad foods. But always make sure you have them 3 solid meals per day. Breakfast, Lunch, Tea.

    But well done on your weight loss, any weight loss can never be undermined, terrific effort.

    I have been half-heartedly trying to lose weight, but will make more of an effort when I go back to school (regular excersize and not as much good food around makes it easier there ).

    I am hardly overweight (135lb) but I have a stocky build, so extra weight shows up a little too easily for my liking. And besides being lighter being useful for martial arts, I already have to worry about diabetes potentially in my future. Many a good reason to stay in shape

    QFTMFT! I love my bikes.

    I'm down to 216, and probably have 10 more to go, but it's not really as bad as it sounds. I'm just over 6'4". Honestly, I don't really care that much for my weight anymore. It's usually 3 months of light bulking, then 3 months of cut. Repeat over as necessary.
