Good for you fredcdobbs, seems like you are motivated, and results will come. I don't know if you drink tea or not, but I've been drinking green tea with cayenne pepper, seems to rev and keep the metabolism up, and might be an extra kick you can give yourself to burn the weight off. Actually tastes really good, but I like peppers.
Good luck man, keep it up!
Good luck man, keep it up!
Your metabolism is based in large part on the amount of lean mass you carry(muscle)
If you really want to accelerate the fat lose, incorporate a little weight training into your program.
It will also help your skin pull tight again, and not leave you looking like a deflated balloon when all the fat is gone.
Good luck, and keep it up for the long haul, you didn't gain all that weight in a matter of weeks, and you won't lose it all in weeks either, so hang in there, it takes time.

I don't sweeten mine. But a friend of mine does with a little bit of honey.
dont over-do it,make sure you allow your body to rest too,it's easy to allow enthusiasm to get you into a quick injury...
it was sorta easy for me to do the same thing you are,i sold my car and quit my job at the same time so i had to walk and couldnt afford to buy fattening foods! LOL nothing beats the poverty diet! but serious,the first 6 weeks are the hardest,after your body adapts you will find yourself going for walks just because you want to,and it stops hurting after a bit as well! and as your metabolism starts to change you will find you want to eat the healthier foods because they make you feel better!

Here are some easy tips for you friend.
Don't eat ANYTHING after 8 pm. Going to bed a little hungry is the money, you'll drift a pound or two for sure.
At least 3 times a day you have to get your heart rate up. This is just to kick in your metabolism and let your body work through some of the stored reserves. Heart rate up doesn't mean crazy running around or some insane cardio, just get it up beyond resting point for a little bit. The longer you are working out (excer.) the faster and longer you can keep Heart rate up.
Don't go cold turkey on the ice cream. Move to a low fat/half fat ice cream for a week or two. IMPORTANT, it took years to get that gut, It may take a year to get rid of it. Don't be discouraged.
You'll probably loose 10/12 pounds pretty fast if you are dedicated. It's the next 10 that will drive you crazy. This process will be a lot of plateau's after success. Stick with it!
Write it down, (goals, current weight, target weight) Look at it daily.
You got this for sure. We're with you!
Peace

Cut soda an french fries out your diet if you eat either . Get a WII FIT with balance board, I swear you will shed the pounds quickly . I loose 20 to 25 pounds every grow ...so i eat wat i want..... now that i know an easy fix. You have so much fun you forget your excersizing .
actually just lost 20-25 lbs myself down to 195 , 10 lbs to go
260 is outta control ?, how tall r u ?, get a eliptical and start by eating organic foods, eliminate all the preservatives and weird government steroids, probably adding weight training too wouldnt hurt ther champ , u can do it, dont look @ the scale everyday , but maybe rather every week , to see if you have improved . Good luck
