I meant don't "try" to give up refined carbs, give them up 100%.

Starting weight/current weight/goal

Most of us do Atkins or Paleo diets. Atkins says during your induction phase keep your carbs under 20 gms a day. Thats tough but it works. Look that diet up there's lots of good info on there. Also look up Paleo. Keep checking in daily here. I'm sure tomorrow you'll get some more info

Congrats, those numbers are amazing.

I will start updating my progress.

295/269/230

I started my diet Jan 10, (day after the BCS game) and have been doing pretty good. Gave up fried foods entirely, no fast foods, no cheese, no mayo, no white rice/bread, and mainly sticking to grilled chicken and turkey sandwiches.

Also working out an hour and half 5 days a week.

That's pretty close to my M.O. I once made a NY resolution to stop going to McDonalds and I went like 2 1/2 years without eating there. But yeah, I'm trying to stay away from the fried foods completely. I love cheese so I'll probably continue to eat that but in moderation.

Cheese is fine. When you cut out carbs, you can increase your healthy fat intake. You can, and you should.

I understand that hard cheeses in particular are preferred for healthy eating

I use this as my reason for eating copious amounts of fresh parmesan cheese

can you explain what all you are taking and why ?

should I buy some protein powder ? I'm a pretty muscular 250 and I'm not excited about losing a lot of muscle, will that help? what do you recommend ?

I'm taking:
Multivitamin w/metabolism & energy support - Self explanatory.
Protein powder - Pretty self explanatory
pre-workout supplement - Has creatine and beta alanine and a whole host of stuff in it that allows you to push your body to the max before you wear out.
Fish oil - just for good health and joint support
BCAA+G - Helps speed up recovery and joint health
CLA - Weight management, helps put on muscle and recovery
Cellucore Super HD Thermogenic - A thermogenic fat burner that ups your body temp and gives you increased energy throughout the day.
Red Recover - A nighttime sleep aid that increases your metabolism at night to burn more fat. Aids in recovery as well.

If you do any sort of workouts, even just cardio, I'd recommend a protein powder to help muscle recovery and build muscle. Low carb, whey isolate. Building muscle doesn't necessarily help you lose weight faster, as muscle weighs more than fat, but more muscle increases your metabolism and helps burn the fat off.

Eta

I didn't start all of these at once, either. Started with just protein, then a thermogenic, then multivitamin and fish oil and sleep aid, then pre-workout, then BCAA+G and CLA. All about 2 weeks from each other. You should let your body adjust to new supplements before taking more to help prevent complications.

218/190.3/175

Pretty darn close to my goal of busting 190 by St. Patrick's day. Should be at worst 189.9 by Monday morning. I'll take it. Have I mentioned how awesome it is to get really close to a milestone and then work hard to demolish it? Feeling great.

One thing that I love about my diet currently is that I'm not counting calories or fat intake. I've just eliminated as much sugar as possible (outside of fruit) and almost eliminated all grain related carbs.

I'll load up on eggs, bacon (or sausage) and cheese for breakfast in multitude of different ways. Load up on meats and veggies for lunch and dinner. I haven't eaten so much meat in my life, and I'm losing weight/fat and feeling great.
