I've always been on the lighter side, but a friend of mine went from fat to normal weight after he went on "The Cocaine Diet" in College

in my early 20's i went from about 330 to 165. i was up and down from there but generally kept it off until my early 30's. the past five years have been very painful though, and i tend to eat and drink my feelings. i think i'm just about done with all that.

I've lost about 30 pounds (180-150) since last year, I was taking in 3-4000 calories/day and working out everyday. All it took to lose that weight was going back to a regular 2-3000 calorie diet

When I was in 8th grade I was pushing 330. It left me with major body image issues. By Junior year I was a triathlete (football, lacrosse, wrestling) and threw discus even though I didn't attend practice or physical training.
I got down to 190 in that 3.5-4 year span. My biggest drop was 330 to 275ish over a summer and all I did was drink water, vegetarian diet outside of plain chicken breast, and going to the beach.
275 (?) freshman year down to 245 by beginning of sophomore, 190 was beginning of Junior year.
I'm currently 220 approximately 17 years later. I'm comfortable at my weight because of a barrel chest, big trunk and solid legs. I could stand to lose 30 more but I'm already swimming 5 times a week and exercising 7 days a week. Repping out light weights.
Getting down to 190 from 225ish was incredibly hard. Even running 5 miles a day, football/LaX practice and hitting the gym 2 hours a day six days a week. I went into ketosis and it messed up my liver enzymes. My pecs were striated except leftover man titty at the bottom despite heavy decline bench.
Numbers are off a bit I'm sure, it was 16-17 years ago, but 335 was the day I was going to kill myself that night. My uncle called and took me to Cape Cod for that summer.
Edit: Numbers are off a bit, this was 17 years ago, but 335ish to 190 are solid numbers.

May ask how you were 330 lbs in 8th grade? Poor eating habits and lack of exercise, or something else? BTW that's an amazing weight loss.

Patlal, Johnson, Qman..
My family across the board all grew up dirt poor. From my great great grandfathers getting vouchers to come to America to farm, great grandparents bringing our culture over, grandmother starving through the Depression, mother being abused for not cleaning her plate at dinner. It was akin to slapping the woman across the face if you didn't finish your plate, which was usually stacked like pancakes and "seconds" was served to you before you got halfway done and then thirds. All of the men in my family tree worked on farms, or the military as gunners, or multiple jobs to send money back home. They were all skinny as a rail.
I remember eating multiple cheesecakes, 64 Surge sodas a day, tubs of ice cream, then family members bringing over food and being obligated to eat.
There was a lot of physical and mental abuse. I wish I had been taken away by CPS. Even now, whenever I gain a few pounds, even to this day, I go into rapid bipolar cycling and then starve it off. I'm still in therapy for body image issues and mental health.

I had in my life several weightloss efforts that measured 25-50lbs.
My most recent big weightloss was 33lbs which took me 3 months to get off and about 6 years to gain back. Not too shabby.
Right now I want to lose the big one. I'm about 360lbs and I want to cut down to about 200-250
The odds are INTENSELY stacked against me. I have about a 1:1290 shot to make it says this rather depressing research.
But you know what? Fuck odds. The odds of staying quit for 6 months by unaided quitting smoking are *drumroll* 4%, and I beat the shit bout of that one too. After smoking 20 years I'mj quit about 20 months. Zero effort, I JUST DID.
1 in 1290? Well I am one in a million. I'm going to beat those odds. One day soon, and I'm working on it, I'm going to flip the switch and change polarity of my life, thats how its gonna go.
Its absolutely true that I have a tendency to get obese, not just in my family but also in some medications I take. But guess what: I also make POOR FOOD CHOICES. Frozen pizza, Ben & Jerrys, need I say more? Up until 4 months ago, when I started swimming a lot for exercise, I SAT ON MY ASS MOST OF THE DAY.
Maybe I cannot get it done to diet in the long run, but I sure as heck should be able to eat healthier (and already do) and get more exercise (which I also already do).
See what you can do and do it.

35 lbs in the past 6 months. 235 ->200, now I'm going for the last ten or fifteen if I can.
I cut out my alcoholism, predominately. Booze is a ton of calories, and compliment that with the fact that a hungover DrMambo working in the food industry will start to grub anything salty and fatty for instant endorphin release as well as to satiate his bodies need for the nutrients he's not absorbing or pissing into the gutter. Even more, when drunk I lose willpower and will munch out ferociously.
So, yeah, I cut the booze and the binge eating followed.
My weightloss is like nil compared to some of ya'll. Kudos.

Kudos to you on sobriety. Weight loss is just watching what you eat and exercise, quitting drinking is admirable. It's certainly a struggle and quite literally impossible for some people to even attempt.
35 pounds is nothing to shake a stick at, either, especially in 6 months.
Give yourself some credit, you're doing great!

I have no personal experience, but when my father was in his mid 50's he stopped drinking exclusively beer and fast food and he went from 360 to 250 in 2 years. He still had to get 3 heart surgeries and died of a heart attack at 79

Congrats to everybody that lost a lot of weight. I heard it isn't the easiest thing to do.
I have a solid 15 to 20 to lose myself. Then again I've never been overweight so it's just a small gut, but still, it makes me feel fat. So I gotta lose it.
Things is, I drink Pepsi, I drink beer, I love pasta, I love restaurants... I love basically verything that could make me lose wight and I am unwilling to sacrifice anyy of these things.
Oh well...

I lost 50 lbs over 3 months.
Everything about my life changed when I moved to a new place. I was 1000% more active
I did not have a car and walked everywhere.
I lifted weights and did cardio about 4 days a week.
I ate completely different as there were not a lot of food options in the new place.
Had a huge group of friends and was hanging out every day doing outdoor activities
The 50 lbs came off without me trying in any way. My exercise routine wasn't me trying to lose weight. It was part of my social group, and I've always been interested in fitness. It was awesome! Because weight loss before and since has been a huge pain.

When I was a junkie I weighed like 125 pounds.
My normal weight is somewhere around 175.
I gained twenty pounds in two weeks when I got clean. No exaggeration.
Junkie is a lifestyle right?

Can you be convinced to just drop the Pepsi? Just drop the pepsi and substitute with as much water or tea as you want.
Unless you are in strong weight gain mode, just dropping daily soft drinks will make you lose weight.
1 can of pepsi = 41 gr sugar = 150 kcal. If you don't drink 1 can of pepsi a day you lose almost a pound and a half per month.
If you drink a liter of pepsi (3 cans) a day, just cutting that out will make you lose about two kilos, more that 4 pounds, per month. That means that if you drink a liter or 3 cans you dont have to change ANYTHING about your food habits, just cut the pepsi and you're on a diet.

Yeah//// the damm pepsi. I dring Pepsi next with only 27g of sugar per can (100 cal). Its still horrible, but less...
I really should try something. Just to proove to myself that I have some sort of willpower within me.

Its best to drop the bad habit of soft drinks, no need for a lecture but really, the negatives outweigh the positives enormously and at those sugar levels it doesnt even quench thirst anyway.

I am guilty of drinking almost nothing but coca-cola ever since I was a young teen
I usually drink at least a 2 liter a day, I might make some lemonade or ice tea for an extra .5 liters of fluids on a hot day but not often.
It has fucked with my teeth (I have 1 missing but tons have gotten root canals and many many fillings over the past 10 or so years) and all the caffeine gave me anxiety issues when I was younger
It never made me fat though. I have been in between 145-165 ever since I was 15 years old and am 26 now
I could never give it up, it tastes so good and it feels really good in the mouth, with the smooth, almost syrupy texture and the carbonation is a really nice sensation in the mouth.
I only drink 2-2.5 liters of straight liquids a day, it doesn't cause me to be more thirsty or anything like that
I also tend to drink it slower than I would anything else, mainly because of the carbonation. That also reduces intake
If you give me a 3 liter camelbak with lemonade in it though, I might drink it all within an hour or two

thats.. half a pound of sugar a day, 800 calories entirely from sugars.
1/3 of all calories you eat are from cola.
That seriously cuts in your life expectancy man, just like smoking would.

Over the last month or so I've really cut back on soft drinks, I might have one or two a week and I still feel guilty about it. Mostly what got me to stop is that I started looking at caffeine as a drug instead of that thing everyone loves in the morning to wake up with their coffee. I am guilty of drinking sweet tea though that's something that I'll always love! But I mostly drink lemonade, sweet tea, whole milk, and lots of water

-------------------- I fucking hate you... God damn, I love you... But we both know if we stick together, we'll just tear ourselves apart You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey You are my heroin, but there's an abscess... God damn, I miss the vein!
