I am at a whoping 320 pounds. My question is does anyone know the most anyone has lost to date? I want to be 250 by June. , its great to welcome you! Congratulations on your committment. While I think I understand the nature of your question, I hope you'll clarify if I get this wrong. While its certainly possible to lose 70 lbs of bodyfat in 4 months, its not recommended by most medical professionals. I lost 110 lbs in one year, and an additional 20 lbs over another year. My advice is to get bodyfat testing done, first and foremost, by electron impedance and/or calipers. Then, take your before shot (as per BFL challenge), and begin following the Challenge specs. www.hussman.com/eas/ will help give you important info, too. Work from bodyfat, not pounds on a scale. From what I know, there hasn't been such a dramatic weight loss as 70 lbs. in one challenge session. I think it took one Champion (I can't remember his name) 2 or 3 challenges to get his bodyfat down into the single digits. Going slowly is not such a bad idea: it took years to get all that extra weight on. To expect to lose it (while staying healthy) in a matter of 4 months is a tad unrealistic, in my opinion. But keep to the committment! Goals are great, but don't make them insurmountable. My personal goal is to cut my bodyfat by 30% (of what it is now) in 12 weeks. If I exceed that, you can bet your life I'm going to be ecstatic. a "Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond." -Sri Ramakrishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you will also be 250 by June. Do you have your gym memebership or weights ready? And a good understanding of food portions etc? If not ask away and I am sure all the folks here will offer their expert advice. Regards Naomi --- jayson007007@... wrote: > Hi my name is Jay Stone.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Hi Jay. You will love BFL, it will make you feel better all around. I don't know about numbers, but the most dramatic transformation I've seen to date was Mina. She is in my breifcase if you care to take a look. I don't know how many pounds she lost, but it was well over 100 I gather. She is photo 2 and 3. http://photos./bc/winddancer44?d & .flabel=fld1 & .src=ph Liz > Hi my name is Jay Stone.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hello Arlene, My name is Angie. I post somewhat regularly here. I had simple partial seizures and took Dilantin for several years. I have had MRI's and EEG's and doctor's found no reason for the seizures I was having. They just said "here take this" and I did, with limited success. After doing research on my own via the internet, and this website, I have been taking B Complex, and taurine (an amino acid). I believe that my seizures were caused by a deficiency in B Vitamins. I also had a rare tongue disorder called Glossydinia which I also diagnosed myself (doctor's said I had Geographical Tongue) but I researched and found they were wrong. My point here is that Glossydinia is also caused by a B vitamin deficiency. So I put two and two together and decided that B vitamin deficiency was causing both my seizures and my little tongue problem. Although my neurologist says all alternative treatments for seizures are bull shit, I did not believe him, and am doing well off my meds for 4 months. I did have one grand mal after going off my meds, but it was during a very stressful life event that it occurred. Right now, I take my vitamins, keep my stress under control and am doing well. There are other stories like mine, that you will find here. I am not a doctor, I just know what worked for me. I will look through my folders and send a link that may be helpful to you about things to rule out and tests to be done when someone is diagnosed with seizures which may help to determine the cause. You see that is the problem, my doctors simply treated the seizures with meds, --tried to cover them up, rather than searching for a cause. Best of luck to you. alvst2@... wrote: Hello,My name is Arlene. My dh, Troy, started having seizures 9 years ago.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Hi Arlene, Welcome to the group. My name is Zoe. I had uncontrollable seizures for many years and have been seizure free for going on four years now with no drugs. I also found taurine to be useful. It may help you and Troy to keep in mind that " epilepsy " means that a person has seizures, it is a symptom only, not a disease. " Idiopathic, " means the doctors don't know the cause, and it sounds like it is up to Troy to do the looking. There are many things that can cause seizures and about 1/3 of all people with apnea have seizures (disorders in breathing can trigger seizures). Seizures can also affect breathing. Aspartame, the artificial sweetner, is also another possible " hidden " cause of seizures as is low blood sugar reaction. There are a few books out you may find of help in understanding and finding ways to deal with seizures. Epilepsy: A New Approach, by Adrienne and Reiter The Challenge of Epilepsy, by Sally Fletcher-she overcame her seizures by learning to control her own brain wave activity with neurofeedback training (EEG biofeedback) which I found helpful also. Epilepsy: The Natural Way, by Fiona Marshall These books may be in your library. If not, you can probably get them from inter library loan, or order them through Amazon.com Cardiac arrhythmias can also cause seizures, and is easily misdiagnosed as epilepsy. Some drugs used for seizures can aggravate heart disorders. Below are some web sites where you can find more information. Best of luck to Troy. http://www.medtronic.com/reveal/seizures/index.html http://sleepdisorders.about.com/library/weekly/aa012101a.htm http://www.indiana.edu/~pietsch/zoe-taurine.html http://www.eegspectrum.com http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Arlene, I don't know where my head was at, but I forgot to reply to what you said about allergies, which may well be related to his developing seizures (maybe the apnea as well?). You may want to find two books by Fried, " Breathe Well, Be Well, " (recent) and " The Breath Connection. " Food intolerances as well as allergies may be linked to seizures. This is especially true in gluten intolerance. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, oat, barley, rye, spelt and a few other grains. If his allergies affect his breathing, this may be triggering seizures and Fried's books can give more understanding on it.

I live in California in the Bay Area. I was a thin and trim person for most of my life and started gaining weight as an adult. I gained 80 pounds with my 1st pregnancy, lost it and got pregnant again. The second time I was on a program and only gained 30 and lost it within a few months. 5 years later and I am heavier than I have ever been, even while pregnant. I had this image in my mind how I looked and was shocked when I saw a video of myself how obese I have become. I had no idea. Guess the fact that only 1 pair of sweats and a few shirts fit did not tip me off to the fact that I had gained so much weight. I got on the scale and was horrified to see that I am about 100 pounds overweight. I saw on the View and was very impressed with his interview. I was moved when he was talking about lobbying for rights.....for PE classes and better school lunches. What a great thing he is doing for all the children. Anyway....I picked up his Deal A Meal at Target....is someone sending me a sign??? I have not opened it yet but will in the morning when I can really look through it.

So you're another youngun' comin' 'round here. I'm one of the old ladies of the list, married 25 years this coming November. and have 2 kids ages 5 > and 7. I live in California in the Bay Area. One kid, 18 going on 45, urban NJ born and raised, with a 10 month stop in Disney country, Kissimmee, FL. We'll be returning there for good when the kid graduates college in 5 years (he starts in Sept) > gained so much weight. I got on the scale and was horrified to see that I am > about 100 pounds overweight. Welcome to the club. I was heavy my entire life, but some physical ailments a few years ago stopped me from all my exercise and I ballooned up to almost 300 in Nov. 2000. I've since gotten down to 250 and still have another hundred to go. Even at 150, it's a weight I hadn't see since around the time I graduated elementary school 35 years ago. At this point of my life I'll be delerious with joy to just get down to 200 again. > I saw on the View and was very impressed with his interview. Short and sweet. I was hoping he would be on longer - 5 minutes is *not* enough for him. Next week he'll be on 2 other morning shows - locally at NYC's WB11's morning show (7-9am) on the 8th and Good Morning America (ABC) on the 11th. He pre-recorded these this past week when he was in town, I think. > I was moved when he was talking about lobbying for rights.....for PE classes Not just rights for children but he also stressed rights for the overweight, something we've done a lot of talking baout on various size acceptance mailing lists. Fat people have been discriminated against for far too long and maybe with someone like lobbying for us we'll finally be treated like humans by society. > Anyway....I picked up his Deal A Meal at Target.... Somebody is still selling Deal A Meal cards? Wow! Do you have any of his videos, or other exercise tapes you like to do? I know running around with 2 kids is a workout, but a regular exercise routine is esential. > Looking forward to meeting all of you, Don't forget to stop by this list's page on at 100-plus and take a peek at the Bookmarks and Files sections. I noticed you also signed on to RSDeal. That list's page is rsdeal . Sue in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I have no exercise program and am pretty seditary. My daughter goes to school right down the street and I drive there to drop her off and pick her up. How pathetic is that????? On Friday I did walk to get her.......my goal for next week is to walk every day to her school. I think round trip it is a little over 1/4 mile. Thanks for the welcome, T.
