I was looking through my old notes. I can't believe that I weighed 305lbs in January of this year, went down to 286 by March. Now, here I am again back at 301, what a waste of time it seems.
 
It's how you pick yourself up from here and succeed that makes you a true champion. Good luck to you man.

:)
 
Back in effect.

Monday. Great day. Started cardio again the past week. I jogged 30 minutes yesterday and another 30 minutes this am. I can already feel the stamina boost. Let's just hope it keeps up and does not burn out. I am contemplating jogging again tonight after work.

I have been replacing a good amount of missed meals and sugar cravings with protein shakes. Breakfast, 8oz OJ, 1 heaping scoop of Bananna Muscle Milk, 3 ice cubes, blend.

Oh. I'm still about 300/299 lbs. I keep around that area, so no significate loss as of yet. First time I see 298, I know it's working.

I dont know how old you are but I put you around 2600 kcals just for BMR! I think your 2260 goal is too low and will not yield the results you desire. I checked out that site for myself and didnt find anywhere that it said recommended cals per day, where did you get that figure?
 
Well. those calories are not really something I follow currently.

Another user on here Scott_Free must have provided me with a URL or program that helped me calculate that number.

Currently I am just doing the following:

Eating low fat foods and staying away from empty calories.
Drinking 1/2 servings of Muscle Milk and Whey protien throughout the day to curve eating cravings (i get strong sugar cravings)
Doing cardio for at least 30 minutes more than half of the week. Cardio only counts if I get to sweating for an extended period of time.

I was down to 295 the other day until I drank a grip of beer on Saturday at this large party I visited. I was 300 this am but it may be water weight from the beer.

I need to kick this into overdrive, I may hire a personal trainer.
 
294 this am. I have been back and forth betweeen 292 and 294. Not looking too bad so far. Using protien shakes to satisfy cravings and and as "filler" has really helped me stay away from the sweets. It's amazing how good the shakes turn out. Here is one of my favorite mixes for breakfast!

3/4 cup of 2% milk
handful of ice cubes
1 scoop vanilla whey protien powder
1 tbsp lite chocolate syrup
1 tbsp instant coffee
blend for 4 minutes or so in the blender.

It tastes amazing, it's my own Mocha Bean Latte!
