well said DB!
Yep I've managed every holiday without cheating one bit...on xmas I had a few dried figs but other then that I didn't cheat at all...same for new years. No drinking or nothin!!!crazy_enough said:Did u manage to go thru xmas without indulging??? If so, ur are one hardcore MOFO!!
you aren't normal 
j/k..k, no I"m not
....I wish you were the only one to say that to me but your not....I get that alot LOL. One day I'll be normal I swear...as soon as I win a comp I'll be normal again.Velvet said:
I've done both...went on a light cut last year...as well as cheated plenty in my days. I've got a picture in my local diner as the VIP customer LOL...I amaze even the fat people!Karper said:Yes you're right DeadBolt.
I think it's the hardest for people on there first cut, since they don't know what to expect, and if they'll succeed. And since the "fast"-weightloss doesn't appears as soon as expected, that can be dé-motivating ...
But on the other hand; if you've cheated and you know that was wrong,
you're better of than people who never heard of cal-counting

J/k
but i am back...
Stick to it bud it only gets easier with time!
Holly heavenly crap, I had a look at your gallery, just for the heck of it...WICKED job u did with that body of yours!!!DeadBolt said:
Thank you. Those pictures are from last year...I was at my lowest body fat ever there. By march 6th I will be lower then that. I worked hard for this body over the past few years and am proud of what I've done...and I agree with you. I cheated as a pudgy little kid for the first 16 years of my life now I need to make up for it and kick ass. I am hoping to take some progress pictures this weekend...I think there will be a dramatic change from last years to this years. You should stop by my journal to check em out.crazy_enough said:Holly heavenly crap, I had a look at your gallery, just for the heck of it...WICKED job u did with that body of yours!!!
My way of seeing this is I spent years(most of my adult life) cheating and indulging, Im just making up for it now!!lol
I find it easier to eat clean all the time(well, almost, I aint no saint!) that to "recover" from a cheat day!! Cheat meals for me now are things like Chicken parmigiana or an ice cream cone from Mcd's...

19...5'6"Velvet said:
thats even better..U did it right away, at a young age instead of waiting til ur 45 and realizing all of a sudden "oh, Im fat and unhealthy and will die shortly, so I must get fit!"...What was ur highest weight ever?DeadBolt said:
I didn't have much of a choice...I sustained a mild heart attack and was told I would die very shortly if I didn't lose weight all at the age of 16. So I got to dieting...crazy_enough said:
Oh Damn.....DeadBolt said:
Sorry to hear that...but on the other hand, Im glad!! It seems that was a swift kick in the arse for ya! WOW, heart attack at 16....Do you actually have a heart problem or was this just following years of unhealthy living? I mean, do you have a heart condition that u will be required to deal with all ur life?
My family has a history of heart attacks and heart issues. Every male in my family has died before the age of 52 from a heart attack. So I guess that plus my entire life of eating shit foods with 0 exercise will really do it to me.crazy_enough said:Oh Damn.....
5'2 and 245...Thats a lot of "ba-donk-kadonk" on such a small frame! I maxed out at 332 at 5 foot 6 and 3/4...U know when they says thats its quicker to jump over than go around!! In my case, it didnt apply!! I was a mountain of blob, perfectly simmetrical...fat from one end to the other!! I even had fat toes! Thats one of the first things I noticed when the weight started coming off, my toes got skinny and I found my knees!
Ya but if those same "fat forever" people spent as much time taking care of themselves as they do eating shit neglecting their health, and claiming high and loud that "its not their fault, its their glands" they wouldnt be in such a predicament(sp?).lol those are the same people who call us obsessed!DeadBolt said:
Very true...they always ask me...how come you eat so much and never gain weight. Then a few hours later when I am leaving early to go to sleep or go to the gym they are like you don't need to go to the gym blah blah blah you are a fool. Stupid shit. I tell em by me going to the gym 2-3 time A DAY is how I don't gain weight. I don't sit here and watch TV all damn day...I do something...these people just sit at home or at the firehouse and eat shit all day long!crazy_enough said:Ya but if those same "fat forever" people spent as much time taking care of themselves as they do eating shit neglecting their health, and claiming high and loud that "its not their fault, its their glands" they wouldnt be in such a predicament(sp?).lol those are the same people who call us obsessed!

I enjoy em LOL"Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated."crazy_enough said:lol those are the same people who call us obsessed!
My thoughts exacly!!DeadBolt said:"Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated."
Yea LOL...I get my morning cardio in...then weights a little later...then its either another cardio directly after weights or another cardio at night.crazy_enough said:
I completely agree and relate!j rizz said:
People are weird!
That still never stops me LOL...I rip those waiters apart. They hate me by the end b/c I ask them every question under the sun and pretty much make my own meals.crazy_enough said:I completely agree and relate!
But when I eat out w/ friends or family, they get annoyed if I ask waiters for specific cooking methods, nutrient contents(which they are supposed to have available upon request) or frown upon waiters suggestions over the fat or preservative content!!! It annoys unhealthy people (my spouse is a perfect example!!)...Its like smokers finding non smokers picky and whinny about second hand smoke!
That always made me more hungry...never worked for me one bit....Souped_up said:
Only thing it did was make me sweat like a pig!!
