5. Throw away your scale and quite obsessing on weight. Just losing some weight ain't gonna help ya, you'll just gain it back.
----------
What worked for me...no scale...
1) 30 minute walk in the morning, up and down a hill twice. Brisk but not a power walk.
2) 45-60 minute walk in the afternoon. Brisk but not a power walk.
3) Cut my meal portions back to 3/5ths of before.
4) Eat way before bed time.
----------
I hate walking so I needed incentive. I don't make coffee at home anymore, if I want some (and I do), I walk to the coffee shop or gas station. That's for the morning walk, in the afternoon, I take my camera and turn it into a photowalk to keep my mind off the fact that I'm walking and hating it.
----------
Been doing it for over a year now...don't have a clue what I weigh but I went from a 35.5" waste to 32.75", right where I want to be. No scale needed, pants get tight, I need to watch the intake. Clean, simple, no thinking required ;-)

8. 187 today
Fatblog post: http://www.reals.net/2007/02/15/187/

I?m approx 10 lbs, peak weight was 196, into my overall goal and hitting 170 by summer. I?m still on the 1700 kcals a day, spread over 3 meals and two snacks with tons of water. I work out 3 days a week and walk my dogs the other two days each morning. This way I?m doing something active every morning before work which is the only time of day I can control.

The hunger issue is slowly going away but it?s been really tough to give up just eating whatever I wanted.

10. I should get in on this.

11. I used to be 225 pounds... now I'm 170. Sure, I'm only 21... but I still managed to lose a bunch of weight.

How did I do it? Atkins diet for 3 months and about an hour of cardio every day. I lost weight fast, and managed to keep it off. The Atkins diet is pretty gross though. I got pretty sick of eating eggs everyday. But then I had to weigh that against, well, my weight.

If you don't believe me - I have pictures.

12. I think the correlation between being fat and being a blogger is pretty darn close to 1.

13. I've been videoblogging my diet since August and am so glad I saw this post. In six months I've only lost thirty pounds and seeing other people doing the same thing that I am will totally help with motivation. Thanks! :)

15. I've been on the "eat less, exercise more" diet for the last 8 months. It's slow going, but I've lost 45 lbs since April. I'm down from 240 to 195 and I've got about another 15 to go.

To confess, I've been using Weight Watchers and for me having accountability on a weekly weigh-in is very effective. They've really simplified eating into a points system that nerds such as myself can really work with. I've found that writing down what you eat and holding yourself accountable to that "budget" of food to work really well.

I'm really amazed at what a difference it has made in my life both professionally and even at home.

16. 210 now - goal 185 by June, getting married in Sept.

I'm food-logging for 1500 calories a day and hitting the cardio work outs 5 times a week. www.calorie-count.com/calories/calories-goal.php is a great weight loss tool.

17. Peak: 240 | Current: 215 | Goal: 196

My biggest challenge is business travel = hard to diet and I do a heck of a lot of business travel (currently sitting in a hotel room in Houston) As most of my business travel is on my own sitting down to eat something is the closest thing I get to social interaction.

Any tips of staying fit while doing the dreaded business travel?

19. I love this idea, and have started adding these posts at my blog, http://www.thelifeledger.com

I don't necessarily advocate weighing daily as a standard practice, but doing something daily that constantly keeps your goals present in your mind is, I think, key to successfully making lifestyle changes as opposed to simply dieting.

As for "eat less, move around more" - yes, that technically is as simple as it needs to be. However, the "why" is just as important as the "what" - discovering why it is you crave or emotionally eat is just as important as practicing the healthier behaviors themselves.

20. I'm a nice healthy 80kg -not sure what that is in your money..You'll have to Google it :-)
Was interested to see www.traineo.com . Funny, I semi-built an online training portal before -as far as I could find, and i looked HARD!- anyone else, back in 2000; despite the timing I think being in Cambridge, England scuppered any funding, eventually I made a choice between it and MOSOSO and I chose the latter! In truth I didnt chase it that hard and the techie I was working with let me down. It was based on the personal training techniques of Dave Morgan, a friend and Commonwealth/Olympic weight lifter (his training for others - young old small that is, not for himself!) and we modelled all the rules and decisions he made to produce an automatic training schedule each session, based upon if you want to gain weight, lose weight, what equipment you have, time, no. of sessions etc, and even gave you a diet :-) I think its still here: but not sure if it works! anyway, the reason for all this babble? I cant remember what his website is, but his first book is here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-Your-Best-Improve-Fitness/dp/0753511991/sr=8-1/qid=1171932508/ref=pd_ka_1/203-1623436-7343965?ie=UTF8&s=books. And beleive me, I'm not getting paid for the plug (I havnt spoken to him in months infact!) he's just good at what he does. You want results? Ask him - or easier, buy the book and I guess, do what it says!
