Thats during the weekdays. I wake up take a shower and am out the door in 20 minutes.

During the weekend, its eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. Preferably the orange flavor.

What do you eat, playa?

Never said it was bad.

However, listening to Buckaroo's games when your parents think you're asleep is of the devil.

That's true. I was a little devil.
 
Daily walking and lots of water are more effective than people think, but the quicker you get that 2 year old into sports the quicker you'll see real results.

Obesity runs in my family, and I am by no means close to that, but losing and keeping 30 lbs off has been a challenge my whole adult life. I have tried many things -- WW, Atkins, Jenny Craig, etc.

BY FAR the best diet I have found, the easiest, quickest, and most effective, is called hcg. It is a medical weight loss plan, recently endorsed by Dr Oz, and has worked wonders for me.

Anyone else use it?
 
The comments in this thread have been very helpful and have given me a lot of ideas. This is my first week of trying to get into shape so I spent monday writing everything down and coming up with schedule that I have faith I can keep.I first came up with a schedule for what i'll be eating and drinking(mostly water but i'v got MiO energy for my daily caffeine intake). Set the calorie intake at 1800 to start out with an have set up 5 meals a day, 3 actual meals and 2 snacks, and prepared the work week meals in advance. Breakfast is Yogurt and i'v seen a lot of people mention oatmeal so i'm going to give that go with some fresh Berries in it. The snacks are either a bag of fresh veggies or fresh fruit and for this week at least its lot of chicken with steamed broccoli for lunch. I'v figured that if i'm going to start eating better then I should make it so everything I eat I wouldn't mind giving my Daughter. That means i'll be cutting out Soda/most carbs/anything processed which will be the first big hurdle to take because I do not eat that healthy at all.

My daughter loved doing the Fitness test on Insanity with me today so i'm hoping she will enjoy working out with me in the morning before I drop her off at her grandparents, that will give something for just me and her to do as well as make it easier to get a workout in before work. I'm a little to heavy to start out doing a lot of cardio so after reading up about jogging for obese people and how horrible it can be for the knees i'v decided to start out slow with walking and work my way up from there.

Every morning I eat 2 hard boiled eggs, a Carnation Instant breakfast, a packet of oatmeal and a yogurt. Then plug my nose and down extra caffeinated coffee.

^Thats where its at right there.

Hard Boiled Eggs are pretty perfect. I'm the same as you, up and out the door fast, so I usually eat my breakfast at work. Something quick and protein packed like that realy helps.

Went from 295 in January 2011 to 210 now (and still losing)

It takes a conscious decision to say enough is enough. I "tried" losing weight in the past, but never really stuck to it. This time, i did. It took me to look at a picture of myself at 295 to be totally disgusted and want to really do something about it. At a high-level, here is what i did.

1) Cardio 5-6 times a week, between 40-60 min. Started slow, but progressively did more and more. At first i had shin splints from running 4 mins, now i can run a half-marathon in under 2 hours.
2) Calorie intake, at the beginning i was limiting myself to 1000-1500 calories a day. I now prob eat 2000 calories a day, but when you burn 1000 from a 60 min exercise daily, it really helps
3) I did have a "little" help. Took ephedra extract pills.
4) Gave up soda, started drikning coke zero, and recently been trying to give that up to, drinking juices and what not.

Let me know if you want anymore info/tips

Awesome man! Keep it up!
 
It's simple math, really. Caloric intake minus activity level will give you what you need to lose it. How do you do this? Download the free Myfitnesspal app (or loseit, nearly the same thing) and TRACK EVERYTHING. you enter your weight, your height, age, activities, and goal weight, along with goal weight date, and it tells you how many calories you can eat per day along the way.

You track everything you eat. It's really easy, and I've seen amazing results with it. It becomes like a game. Just do it. The key to weight loss is tracking what you're eating, and this app makes it easy and fun.
