/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I started out at 230 pounds (105 kg) at the start of last month, but today I weighed 220 pounds (100 kg). Height is 70 inches (1.78 m), FYI, and long-term goal is to reach ideal BMI weight of 150 pounds (68 kg).

Stuff I did to lose 10 pounds in one month:
I've been ordering pic related from Chick-fil-A a lot for lunch. The Superfood side. I get that a medium diet soda, and nothing else.
It is possible to lose weight while still eating fast food; you just have to stick to salads and pretty much avoid any fast food chain that doesn't have more than one entree salad on their menu.
I also limited bread intake, including liquid bread (beer). Limiting carbs as much as possible is an express ticket for weight loss.
Exercise is important, too, of course. I go to a local gym where I walk/run a 5K (3.1 miles) on a treadmill twice a week.
I also do some simple bench pressing and curls, plus sit-ups.

Controlling what and how much you eat and exercise are key components, but the main component for success, just like with anything else, is persistence. You are not going to reach your ideal weight overnight; it will take months, and you have to stay committed. Just be a man, tell yourself you're going to do it, and then go do it.
