Comments on: Week 30: Weigh-in Results http://www.344pounds.com/2009/08/week-30-weigh-in-results/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

You shouldn't be drinking anything other than water, possibly a few purely fruit juices (like pomegranite, as it is healthy and pretty much unavailable in fruit form, but not apple as it isn't) How many different living foods are you eating each week? You should eat at least 30, trying for 40. Pasta, bread, eggs, dairy do not count, but fruits,veggies, nuts, legumes, some spices do (such as garlic, cinnamon, herbs in quantity) This is the best diet, by far. Much easier than calorie counting, just make a list on the fridge. One more thing, finding exercise. Using the stairs instead of an elevator, walking to the store, instead of driving. No tv, take a walk instead. Such things really add up and help you to have a great nights rest which is also very important. How much water are you consuming each day?

It looks like you've changed how much you eat, but not what you eat. I think that with the extreme weight loss you've done, fairly intense exercise, and the lack of fruits and vegetables in your diet, you are putting a great deal of stress on your body. I strongly suggest that you focus on improving the nutritional quality of what you eat rather than rapid weight loss. A doctor and maybe a nutritionist.

Seriously, with the changes you've put your body through, it's way past time for a checkup. And the Dr. might have some advice for getting through the plateau. But adding fruits and veggies and cutting the crap should help. Get thee to the doctor, Tyler! Seriously, with the changes you’ve put your body through, it’s way past time for a checkup.

You've got a ton of advice to sift through here, but I'll throw in my two cents: Oh, yea, so you stopped tracking your food, lol. I think that's part of it. Coupled with the stress of moving. I warned you, didn't I, how stress can shut it down? I'll bet you stabilize once you get past the move. So my advice? Get back on the food log and behave, and don't expect much til you're settled in the new place. It's a fact that resistance training will burn more fat that cardio, so bring some more into your routine. Once you pick a new a gym, get a trainer to put together a basic routine for you; Some leg press, bench, chest, dumbbells. Combined WITH your cardio, you'll maximize your results. Want to feel a little better? After hitting 216 last week, I gained EIGHT POUNDS on the Disney cruise. I'm pretty sure most of that came from the sugar, alcohol, and sugar with alcohol that I've denied myself for months, but it was worth every pound, lol. I'll be back on my 2000 a day Sunday. Wow!
