30 ish pounds so far. Got another 30 to lose before I'm done, and I've started lifting so it's being replaced by muscle. If I don't make my goal weight by December 31 because I'm too stronk, I'm gonna call it a win.

Apparently it's having a significant impact on my appearance already, and I sure feel better about basically everything all the time.

Keep it up, you're doing great. Honestly, I could use better diet habits too, even if I'm not fat yet. Gonna not snack anymore today or tomorrow.

Also gym folks are really friendly and a lot of them like teaching newbies and if I'd known that lifting was just JRPG grinding at a younger age I'd probably be a professional powerlifter now.

Snacking's a weaning thing. Snack smaller and less efficiently until you just sorta let it go. Cut it off cold turkey and your brain will turn it into a reward mechanism that it will abuse like hell.

My trick for quitting constant snacking was gum. If I ever felt like snacking on something, especially late at night, I'd just start chewing on gum instead.

For me, drinking more water has really helped. I realized just recently that I've probably been dehydrated my whole life and I was mistaking thirst for hunger. I've improved some digestive issues, too.

I replaced all my snacks with fresh fruit which helped a lot. At one point I was eating like 7 apples a day though, so I had to cut down on that too.

Heh, the secret to my weight loss so far has actually been to increase snacks! I used to have absolutely massive meals because I was hungry! Now I have a granola or fruit bar about an hour before eating, and my meals became a lot smaller.

I'm still a massive fat-rear end, but less-so, and now need to focus more on exercise. Congrats on your success, 30 pounds isn't a small thing :v:

I've been grumpy about my weight lately and now I'm using my under the desk bike at work to get some cardio while I'm chained to a desk all day. I'll go for a short 5 min walk later too.

I've lost ten pounds in the last three months by using a calorie calculator. At first it wasnt so much to stick to strictly as it was to see how many calories I was actually taking in and attempt portion control. After a bit I started avoiding high calorie foods that I knew didnt really satisfy me and my concept of what makes a portion for various foods is getting much better.

I also run 3 times a week for 30 minutes besides a daily set of 40 pushups/situps. Not exactly hitting the gym up.

My problem with exercise is I've got a hip with a bunch of screws and two plates, as well as an ankle with some screws and a plate. The ligaments in my leg don't work right; the muscle is fine, but the ligaments don't stretch the way they're supposed to, which limits the things I can do pretty heavily.

All the fat people I know share a common "uhg.. I just don't like water" trait. They drink children's sugar drinks all day despite being adults.

Pretty much this. You don't necessarly need to eat less, you need to eat smarter. Once you start to calculate where the calories you eat come from, you can start replacing the high calorie stuff with lower calorie alternatives. Like, we used to eat Alfredo sauce on pasta once per week, 1 portion was 100ml heavy cream (240kcal), 25g parmesan (100kcal) and 20g butter (140kcal), which is like 500kcal on top of the 450kcal in the pasta itself. A marinara sauce on the other hand is just tomatoes and things, and contains less than 100kcal per portion.

Diet pop is the grossest compromise in the world. I'm in pretty awful shape but I have found it really easy and really rewarding to overcome that and develop a taste for plain rear end water. It's so good once you get into it.
