So how much weight have you lost so far as well as your mental health? I would assume you feel like your on a starvation. Also are you doing any cardio on top of this? I hope you did some before measurements to keep track of your progress besides from the number on the scale.

The first 10 to 12 pounds is always the easiest and the hardest part of it is just getting started on your "journey". After a while you will hit that brick wall and it will be harder to loose weight than before, since your body will of shed most of the nasty pounds of fat. Of course you will still be able to loose the weight but you will need to kick it into higher gear and take it to the next level. By the way are you exercising at all? If not its going to take longer to loose the weight especially when you hit that brick wall.
 
Ok your 11 days in so its not too late to take measurements now. Also you dont have to take detail measurements if you dont want too.  I did but I did not list them all such as my biceps, forearms, wrist, and hips. They are not as important as body fat %, waist size, and neck size and number on the scale. I also paid attention to my blood pressure and beats per minute at rest through my weight loss. Unfortunately I did not get any before and afters of my cholesterol readings and to see if I had any vitamin deficiencies. Did not want to go pay for it. VERY sure that I do not have any kind of vitamin deficiency. Well just keep us updated bud and keep at it for the long run.

All it takes is 7 minutes of "Intense" exercise a day to kick it into high gear. No weights or gym membership required.

I love doing Insanity!!  More like 30-40 min intense workout!

Tomorrow is day 30. Pics and progress coming your way in about 34 hours! =)

   

I did the math last night - and yesterday was actually my 30 days!
 
Here are the befores and afters 
 


 
 
 
I lost 12 pounds
I lost 3 belt sizes.  Clothes fit COMPLETELY different.  I feel great.  I do wish I would have done exact measurements, but I feel like I lost AT LEAST 5 inches in my abdominal region.  Also, I want to add that in all my pictures, my stomach was totally relaxed.  I didn't try to push out my stomach in the before pics - lol
 
hahahah its amazing what sugar does to your body
 
 
 

I love sugar.. I cant hide that fact, and consume it all the time. I need to do something like this and get away from it though.

Now that you have finished, you can definitely see the difference. Keep going, dont let this be the end of it.

Ive never done those fad diets, just lots of walking, outdoors, a balanced screen time, and just count you cals, and sugars.
When i hurt my back, back in 2011, doc said loose some weight, less soda,  get active and you wont hurt so bad, its taken me a few years but went from 290lbs to current 190, 40inch waste to 34inch waste.
 
 

So how is your progress going so far? I hope you haven't quit on yourself. Are there improvements with your physical transformation? Besides that have you noticed any other improvements like better sleep, reduced blood pressure/heart beats per min, reduced pain of some sort that you might be dealing with, better skin/hair/teeth, did the way you smell change when you sweat(I personally noticed that with transofrmation), digestion patterns change, and your mental health? Yeah I know thats a lot of questions but people will be amazed how very so so much will change with yourself when you improve on health by changing your diet and life style. 

That's good to read! Just remember patience and consistency is key. Fitness is a marathon not a sprint. Just keep at it, because when you look back at what you did with all that hard work, dedication and sweat that was put into it. Your going to say and feel how awesome you are.

Now that I'm around 2 months with eating this way - I can report that I have lost 25 lbs. and I feel BEYOND great.  I'm wearing clothes that I haven't been able to wear in forever.
 
hahahha sugar = enemy
 
AND I've been incorporating cheese and mayo into my diet.  Thank the Lord, because without cheese, this would be a no go!! :D

Check out high carb hannah on youtube..

I've been on a chicken and rice with broccoli diet for awhile now, around 8 ounces and 1.5 cups of brown rice and a cup of broccoli 2x a day. Along with a high cal breakfast of around 1k cals, it includes oatmeal, whey, and greek yogurt, some milk and banana. As well as a dinner meal which is never planned and also two protein shakes, one whey protein shake after my two hour lifting session, and one casein shake before I go to bed. Ya its a lot of liquid but it works. I'm getting pretty shredded now, only at 160lbs but around 8% body fat after multiple tests its what I can get the median out of. Pretty good for a 17 year old. I wish you the best man. Sometimes I get to the gym in the mornings around 4:45am, and then go again later in the day. Ya its too much, I could probably be getting better results if I didnt go so much and got more sleep I typically only get 3-6 hours of sleep weeknights. I wish you luck, just wanted to share.

Everytime I scroll past Xray's sig I think you've not only lost weight, but grown your hair out too lol

  

only diet that seems to be working for me is simple good old calorie counting, while cutting out any extra sugars etc so no chocolate and only sugar free drinks etc.

Yeah, alchahol, fizzy drinks, hell even fruit juice contain a crazy amount of calories, and it's not that hard to cut them out, well once your body gets over craving the sugar it's used to anyway.
