Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Not sure the last time I have visited the forum!

Stopped drinking coffee and soda and have gone from 255 lbs to 170.

March 2010-to present

So there is proof anyone can get themselves in shape even a 46 year old who thought being 255 was normal.

I now run 5-10 miles per day and have not missed a day since I started in mid April. I have run nearly 2000 Miles!

It takes a physical walk on a spiritual journey.

We have been taught that the spiritual man should rule over the physical man.

Then we walk around at 255 lbs and want others to see us as Over-Comers.

You simply will not find harmony between the spiritual man and the physical man until you start the physical journey to a spiritual man.

Bringing the physical man into submission is not all about not yielding to sin, it is about discipline of the physical body.

Even my hair has started to grow back, I am convinced it was the soda and the acid...

Awesome -

have a question.... you gave up sodas and coffee ? Didn't you change your eating habits at all?

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Sodas are a great source of belly fat!! And he is "running 5-10 miles a day", that alone changes the balance of intake and calories etc, burned.
That is major "change your eating habits". LOL

Neck gets a standing "O"!!!!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

I understand that the running made a difference - but I was just curious.

Do diet sodas contribute to "belly fat" ? What is in them that would do that?


Yes - Neck definitely gets the standing "O" from this part of the bleacher seats!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

I would have to do a search, but I've seen a lot of research that shows that diet sodas are worse than regular soda. Plus, they taste like _________.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Is that really the only part of him you're going to compliment?

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

I stopped eating Bread, candy and massive amounts of cheese. Working out was the biggest boost to my losing weight...

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

One neagative factor in soda is the syrup that when the intestines and the colon pull out the sugars, acid, the syrup sits in your colon and bounds up the rest of your digestive system. The Acid messes up the PH balance in your stomach.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

To all thanks for the applause, all I can tell you is my mind, body and spirit are for once in order!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Great job, Neck!

I've been doing some jogging and aerobics. I was doing aerobics sporadically but for about a month I have been doing it daily. I am starting to look and feel better. Haven't really lost any weight to speak of yet though.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Congrats Neck!
I've been on a similar journey the last 12-14 months myself. I've went from 248 to 161. Cutting out sugar, hfcs, and and lastly grains. And Lifting weights for exercise.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

The high fruitose in the sodas have been determined as a major cause of belly fat.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Wow! What an accomplishment. You look great!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Amazing change!! So proud of you.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Neck, Standing Ovation!!!!! :highfive

I'm 50 and just got in from a 17 mile bike ride at a pace most teenagers can't keep. People say you can't be in great shape in Mid Life, but that ain't the case...I try to get 5-6000 miles a year in, and just love riding.

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

THAT IS AWESOME!!! As a person who works out regularly, I say a BIG high five!!! It is amazing what consistency does....that is the key!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Awesome NFS!

I ran 7 miles today, 45 degree weather and the road at my feet! All it takes is picking yourself up and doing it!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

I have found that you actual have more energy and feel much better the harder you work out. So many preach disciple and look at things like money etc as a bench mark for consistency. I say the human body, except in a case of medical concerns, is a better measure....

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Amen and Amen. Nuff said! LOL

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Neck's my hero!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

Did 6 miles running. Was contacted and told that my background was cleared for new position that I accepted. The neat thing was when I went for the drug screen, three different folks had to look at my signature against my license, because I look so different. My license picture was from July 2009. It was very interesting to watch them look at me and say this is not you!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Neck Checking in at 170 Lbs have lost 85!!!
 

I have lost 70 and kept it off for three years. I would love to run and I am trying but I have some breathing issues. But I am still trying to get it done not to mention actual weight lifting too.
