I know how hard it is to lose weight, but you can be successful with the proper knowledge and effort. I have lost 106 pounds in the last 10 months (I am 5'8, and went from 281 lbs. to 176 lbs)! The only exercise regimet that I have been doing is walking. In addition, of course, I have had to completely overhaul my diet. The key to success has been the basics: Lean protein (chicken, fish, vegitable protein), fruit, and vegitables. Carbs are ok, so long as they come from fruit, vegitables and other high fiber sources. Don't shy away from all carbs, your body, and more importantly your brain, needs a basic amount of carbs to function. While you've no dought heard these suggestions before: Keep in mind that its not just what you eat, its also when you eat. You need to eat something, even 60-200 calories every 3 hours or so (so as to ensure your blood sugar level stays stable). Secondly, whenever you are having fruit (or sugar) or carbs that are low in fiber always have protein with it (this also keeps your blood sugar stable). Basically, my understanding is that when your blood sugar levels stay stable your body keeps its metabolism high and continues to burn fat. Also, don't shy away from all fats, just get your fats from fish and nuts (particularly almonds, as they are extremely healthy). Again, having to low of a fat content is also unhealthy. Anyway, I just wanted to lend my support for your efforts. Stay focused, its a challenge, but you can succeed...and when you do, you will have accomplished something that nobody can take away from you.

Good luck with your own goals. For me, the big thing about this challenge is focusing on the little goals that will lead to weight loss rather than the weight loss itself.

I have to stop it as well. I've begun walking every night. I think I'll try to mirror your challenge for myself and add in some weights in the morning. Keep up the good work. If we want it badly enough we'll do whatever it takes, right? I’m right there with you on the rewarding yourself with food, man. I have to stop it as well.
