FalseAesop Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I am no where near my goal yet, I am still obese, and I have many many more pounds to go, but I am down 100 pounds from where I started when I set about shedding weight, and that seems like a good time for a woot. I've been taking these photos of myself every month, but this is the first time I've edited them together for easy comparisson. I do believe progress has been made.

FalseAesop Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 How I did it? Combination of things. Mostly it was diet. That's what they say right 80% diet? It was pretty simple really, which is not to be confused with easy. I had just been transferred from first shift to third shift, and with my life completely rearranged it made it a good time to break bad habits. I started using the app LoseIt! to track my calories 3am October 1st. I have tracked everything, every single thing I have eaten between then and now. Not easy, not for everyone, it can be a hassle and I know a lot of people don't like counting calories, and there are plenty of ways to eat healthier and better without the need. I needed it though. I needed to learn control more than anything, I needed to hold myself accountable, I needed the data. I'm not paleo, though I greatly respect the philosophy behind it and try to take a lot of its lessons to heart and tend to eat whole, unprocessed foods with as little ingredients as possible I still eat bread (I have a 20 minute lunch break, sandwich is just handy), and every so often indulge my guilty pleasure that is Noodles & Company's Indonesian Peanut Saute. Still I always stick within my caloric budget. Workouts were a lot of false starts. I tried a couch to 5k program last fall, but fell out about week 3 when the weather snapped cold. Tried and failed to start doing pushups sometime in the winter. Two months ago (give or take), I heard about this place on the Art of Manliness podcast. I started doing the beginner body weight routine, modified with the working your way up to a standard pushup article. I've done that three times a week for the last 2 months, so I guess that's a habit formed. Also I picked up the Zombies, Run! 5k trainer (see the link in my sig) and managed to stick with this one. I'm writing this just before I head out on Week 8 Day 2, the penultimate training mission, day 3 is the long run, the goal of running a straight 5k.
