Oh my.
A familiar face (and bulk) we haven't seen for a while.

THE GIGANTIC PRIMITIVE, #08 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009
Original message
So, how are y'all? Me, I'm now approx. 35% of the way to my tentative weight loss goal!
It's been quite a while since I've posted either here or in Weight Loss/Maintenance with a progress update. I figured it was about time.
After a fall and winter of dealing with multiple head and chest colds, and other pain issues and such, I've finally started dropping from a weight plateau which was becoming frustrating to the point of depression. I broke the cycle by investing in a BodyBugg and learning that I really wasn't consuming enough calories for my metabolism to do anything more than keep me in conservation mode. By increasing my calorie intake with the help of more whole wheat pasta, Grape Nuts with low-fat soy milk, brown rice and other low fat but calorie dense options, I've begun dropping again at a very respectable pace given that I still have a lot of issues with my left leg and foot which don't lend themselves to much mobility.
My ticker chart speaks for itself:
after which the chart, but the gigantic primitive forgot to show his bowel movement index (BMI)
I've said a not-so-fond farewell to 111 lbs. as of this past Sunday, and 80 of those pounds have been thanks to following the McDougall Plan, which you can read about for yourselves at www.drmcdougall.com .
Today's meal plan has consisted of a nice big batch of pineapple/mushroom "fried" (no oil, just a non-stick pan) rice which my wife cooked up for us this morning. Delicious and completely guilt free!
Peace out for now....
Only one response at this campfire.
Suppose the gigantic primitive's pounding the pavements looking for a job, now that he's about 400 pounds and eminently employable?

I cannot believe his wife is still hanging around, cooking for the lazy bastard no less. She must be one psychiatric mess.

He lost 111 pounds....I think I've found about 20 of it.

Complete and utter bullshit. These fad diet are created for idjits just like the Enormous One (my brother is very overweight and believes this tripe because it allows him to shovel away). He is doomed to failure.
Just eat less.

Little known fact: During the 19th century potato famine, most of the Irish died from the effects of morbid obesity. Glad to hear the Las Vegas Leviathan has temporarily dodged that lethal bullet. The road to longevity is paved with Big Macs.

I have a notion that he refuses to admit that it was advice from here that got things going in the right direction for him.
So be it.

Carl, you know full well what would happen to him if he did. Granite.

Plus that we are right about other areas of his mental make up.
Glad he is on the right track though because that means he is easily fit to get moving about and soon can find gainful employment to give Janette a break finally.

No matter how he posts at the DUmp, he'll shortly be awarded granite as a side effect of his exhausted, overworked, and finally exploding, ticker. And regardless his weight, he can't get up and around for lack of size 17EEEEEEE footwear. It's difficult to make a good impression in a job interview when you show up with toilet seat lids duct-taped to your leg flippers. At any rate, there's no way the Lardass Kirk would give up the gravy train he'e got going now.

It is actually quite simple:
Using your Body Mass Index value per your current weight and age, you can derive your daily protein, carbohydrate, and fat requirements.
Cut the fat by 25%, cut the carbs by 25%, INCREASE the LEAN protein by 25%-50%, spread these amounts across six feedings per day. Be sure LEAN protein consists of the MAJORITY of the calories for each feeding.
This alone does two important things:
1 - keeps the furnace (metabolism) running as high as possible within your body's current limitations. This keeps the fire burning which makes sure the food consumed does not turn to lard on your ass.
2 - If the protein/carb/fat ratios are correct, you can actually consume LESS total calories per day than which is required to maintain your current weight and NEVER feel hungry!
Imagine, eating correctly, never feeling hungry or deprived, and having satisfying energy levels all while slowly dropping tonnage.
Next add in just some simple exercise 4-5 times a week. Say a 1/2 hour of simple walking three days a week then simple weight lifting two times a week and that extra will guarantee an extra pound or two drop per week.
Slow and steady is the only way to go!
With the gigantic one's serious curb weight, just walking two simple blocks at a slow pace four times a week would easily satisfy his exercise requirements until he dropped below 350 or so.
Three simple aspects to losing weight then maintaining it forever:
1 - The quality of the food your eat
2 - The quantity of the food you eat including ratios
3 - CONSISTENCY!!! Meaning, DO THIS ALWAYS and do not quit for a week or so then start again.

We are Gods in our own right.
While we may be hard-nosed at times, our path, methods, and intentions are righteous.

Well, LVL has an update post at his fatty site that pretty much repeats his DUmp post. The interesting thing, aside from an updated photo, is a stupid comment from 2009 Top DUmmy Pam. So she hasn't run afoul of the Glock in that violent drunk's hand after all. Yet. Also, she tries to keep it quiet, and has completely stopped posting at the DUmp, but just between you and me, she's on chemo. Please keep that under your hat.
