Doughnut jokes never bothered me unless it was some A-hole trying to illicit a response. We never called them doughnuts. We called them
“Crime fighting power biscuits” 😂

Bag of raw spinach and a chicken breast for lunch, same for dinner. Water only. No breakfast , no snacks.

I'm such a bad stereotype. While I grew up eating hot dogs, corned beef and pastrami, I don't eat that stuff anymore. I like the taste, I just hate things that are packed with salt. Last year I was at a family gathering and all of the processed meats were there, I tried to eat a kosher hot dog (not attached to a person) and got through one bite before the salt overwhelmed me.

Everyone has an opinion. Some of them are good.
It's simple math. Put your body in a calorie deficit and work out daily to keep your metabolism running full speed. You are going to need a decent deficit to get to where you want to be.

In mid-June I decided to start eating healthier and ran across Dr Jason Fung's info on intermittent fasting. It made a ton of sense so I decided to give that technique a try (along with eating better food). My goal wasn't to loose weight quickly but I definitlely did. I weighed myself after 4 weeks and had lost 32 lbs. Initially I cut carbs but after listening to the "Whole 30" I have since started eating some fruit with my daily meal (berries, apple, bannana, etc.) as well. The crazy thing is I don't get hungry like I used to and feel I could go a lot longer between meals if I wanted or needed to do so. My memory and focus have improved a great deal as well which is a bonus!

I haven't weighed myself since but did lose another notch on the belt so I'm confident I've lost more weight since then. I was after a lifestyle change and not a number so I decided the only time I will step on a scale going forward will be when I visit my doctor for my yearly physical (which I have next week). Either way, I feel 100x better and am looking forward to seeing my progress for the 1st time in a long time!

This is definitely worth a watch if you're interested in getting healthy!

Check out Bright line Eating. Also weight watchers has a a pretty good regimen. Clean out your fridge and pantry of stuff you shouldn’t;t eat and you will get off to a good start. Anyone that lives with you should follow suit as well for their own health and most importantly support to you.

Fat fast , 1200 calorie per day .... in Atkins book from the late 90's

Blu C's: Drink lots of water and stay motivated.
Stand out in the cold at night with no clothes on - once you start shivering you are burning more calories than jogging - do this for as long as you can stand it!
Oh dang.... I see you live in Georgia.
Oh well forget that.
Good luck with the new job.

Check with your jurisdiction on pre-filling out info on your toe tag.

1.5#/day.

Not likely. Likely not healthy if you manage.

I had to learn the difference between bored-hungry, and actually hungry. They are different. As are satisfied (no longer hungry) and stuffed.

Atkins works but partially because it is calculated malnutrition. After a point, I could not stand the constant lack of energy.

It will help you shed weight, for sure, but was not a long-term lifestyle for me.

Who said anything about 1.5 lbs per day?

Why no alcohol? Serious question... Trying to lose a few more pounds myself.

😂…..solid work my friend ….well thought out advice from the far north…..seriously, thanks and we’re definitely not joking. 😂

Lay off the booze.

If you can’t lose 40 lbs you don’t deserve the job. Life’s a competition.

First week. Work your ass off .

Week two. Work your ass off even more.

And on and on.

You got this!

40# in 60 isn’t horrible if you are really big. The more you weigh the more impressive weight loss you can claim

I would go strict Keto and cardio. Dehydrate yourself before weigh in.

.67 pounds per day.

Probably doable, but will take full effort and discipline.
