My own little diet thread!

Rather than lose weight I feel one needs to have a range of kilt sizes to accommodate the current weight class one dines in.
I a curently dining at 40.5inches by 24inches.
just in case, there is a Kilt Adoption Agency- "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled kilts"

BEst of luck man....make sure you get the cardio in with the diet.....will help keep the metabolism going....just remember when you stop losing the weight it means you need to up your caloric intake to keep your metabolism fueled

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for when I plateau again; that was when I quit last time.

And when I get the extra bedroom/gym cleaned up and back in use, I'll post a picture, just to prove I'm doing it.

...& a picture of what i looked like at my heaviest posted on the refridgerator...

I would, but I have the rest of the family to think about.

Good Luck Iolaus!

I went from 182 to 168 since the 1st of the year. It takes a lot of will power to stick to a regime of eating and exercising right.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Best of luck to you!

My wife and I are both doing the South Beach Diet. My wife lost 60 pounds on it last year.. We have been at it for almost a month now.. In the first three weeks I lost 18 pounds.... I weigh in on tuesdays... so we'll see if I'm still on the right track...

Been picking up weights since I was in college...now light weights, high reps...when I take the kilt hose off the bar....

Don't forget the same support that X Marks is for kilts is also available for weight loss on line.

Are you doing any excercising as well as just dieting? The biggest (no pun intended) reason for gaining weight is not exercising, not just eating wrong.

I'm actually up more weight than I've ever been before (since I was eighteen I've been about 135 lbs.; now I'm up to about 150), but I know I'm going for a five-month hike in six weeks, so I'm actually really happy about the extra weight since I know that will stave off the massive hunger a little longer, and keep my body from eating the muscle mass for a little longer.

On the other hand, I've had to let the kilt buckles out an extra notch, something I've never had to do before. Oh well, in October I'll be a little loose, so it's all good. I can diet when I've finished long-distance hiking.

I hear you. I started a game plan this past weekend. A neighbor and I started the weekly ritual of a brutal up hill hike near our place. Add that to the fact that I am giving up smoking in a week or two (not trying, I am doing it). It looks like my wife has gotten a position with her company that wil allow her to work from home, which means I can now walk to and from work everyday (4 km each way, uphill there, down on the way home). I am hoping to ditch a few pounds and get into a better lifestyle.

I thought about going back to the gym, but I live in a place where there is sooooo much to do outdoors, that I want to take advantage of that than a stale gym where my workout is disrupted by having to wait for equipment.
