Dude I feel ya.
I was 198lbs solid last summer which is great shape for me.
I now am at 215, I run 2 miles four days a week and can not drop any weight.
WTF?
I wonder if the beer and wine have anything to do with it?

or the muscle atrophy from sitting at the computer?

Jose why do you care what other ladies think? How about what your wife thinks?
Plus, um, the spell check is your friend

Oh wait I"m not supposed to post in this thread I am not fat.
Not even a good day. I'm 110 lbs soaken wet But I can imagine it would be difficult to not be able to lose wt. I wish you guys good luck with it!

110! You're so tiny! Unless you're like 3 foot 5, but I doubt you are

Guys with extra weight on them seem to carry it much better then a woman would. I think for the most part guys clothing is much more forgiving.

Nothing wrong with having a few extra lbs, but if you are going to try to drop some, do it for you, not for anyone else. It's much easier to keep it off long term if you are doing it for you.

After a while your body gets used to moderate exercise. You just need to crank up your metabolism, the best way I've found it to do high intensity interval training (HIIT), you can read about it here: http://www.musclemedia.com/training/hiit.asp , basically you warm up, then alternate between moderate running (for example) and sprints, then do a cool down. This can boost your metabolism for more than a day afterwards, meaning you are burning more calories as you rest! It's pretty hard work, but incredibly effective.

I didn't exactly do this but I workout on an elliptical machine (38 mins 2-3 times/wk and 24 mins 2-3 times/wk) and the course that it gives me allows for one minute slow downs every 8 minutes. So I bust it for as long as I can, then cruise to the rest, kind of like how the workout suggests. I've been doing this since January of last year and I've dropped from 203.5 to around 180 (as low as 176.5 and high as 183.5). It's not easy but if you do it you will feel better.

Biggest thing you need Jose, will power.
OK, rule these out of your diet for the forseeable...
bread, pasta, potatoes, pastries, cakes, sweets....forget them!
Live on this.
Bran flakes, skimmed milk for breakfast
Tuna fish/chicken/as much fruit and veg as you like.
One night a week spoil yourself, you will find that you'll need a smaller portion of your treat soon enough.
You can enjoy a beer or 2 if you stick to this, also you should take some excecise daily, get some dumbells, do some crunches.....you'll be even more irresistible to Mrs Jose before you know it.

you weren't fat in a pic you posted? oh I get it, since this is the internet, you posted a 15 year old picture of yourself, didn't you! your body is used to your routine (running), you need to exercise a different way.

p.s.
you need to eat every 2 hours like i do. half of me is skinny!

Will power and hard work are the only true ways to lose weight in a healthy fashion. You have to eat properly and excercise between 3 and 5 days a week.

All these gimmicks and surgeries I believe are unhealthy in the longrun.

yeah this is facts what jamie uk says.
bread and pasta even if it is whole grain super duper wheaty whole grains
up the ass, bread will forever be fattening..
better whole grain tho than white flour based breads.
potatoes are starch which i think is sugars, i could be wrong tho.
alcohol is fattening.

i just chopped a shit load of firewood, awesome excercise..
and feel like a billion dollars
muscles pumped and blood flowing raw..
yeah, its awesome...:D

cutting this stuff will help lose weight quickly, pasta and occassionally wholegrain bread can be re-introduced at a later date in my experience. But there's no magic formula, healthy eating, smaller portions and good excercise that get's the heart racing, that's what is needed.
