Has anyone lost a large amount of weight? If so, how?

Answer 1

I've lost 45 pounds but within the span of over a year. I took the scenic route.

Answer 2

My husband has lost about 80 lbs in the past year and a half. He did it by joining up with a few guys he works with. The guys asked their company nurse (he works at a large papermill) to have a dietician come out and show them correct portions sizes, healthy menus and how much sodium and fat they should limit themselves too. The dietician would come out and weigh the guys every two weeks.
My beloved quit drinking pop, substituting water or diet pop. He ceased eating fast food and sugary fat laden snacks. He watched portion sizes and watched how much fat was in what he was eating. At work, he started walking stairs instead of sitting on his lazy butt waiting for a call to go fix something (he is an electrician at this papermill). His goal was to drop no more than 2lbs a week and over time, he succeeded. He started to feel really good after the first 20lb drop which only motivated him to keep going. Right now, he is at 220 and his goal is 200. I think he will make it because he feels and looks so good, he never wants to go back to where he was. This weight loss also had other health benefits. His cholestrol was too high and he was on a statin drug and his blood pressure was high as well. Now the cholestrol is at healthy level and so is his blood pressure. No more statin drug and he takes the lowest dose of blood pressure med. His advice to people wanting to lose large amounts of weight is to do it slowly and be patient. You didn't become overweight in a day and you won't safely and successfully lose the weight in a day.
