I'm trying to do the same and with Caffeine. They are absolutely the worst withdrawal pains ever. 

I've been drinking coffee everyday for the past 7 years so I've decided it's time for caffeine and sugar to go. I'm slowly phasing out coffee by going from Large with 4 cream and 4 sugar to medium and 2 cream and 2 sugar. I plan on drinking small coffee next week with 1 cream and 1 sugar and get down to extra small black coffee. Hopefully I can ween off caffeine and sugar by February.

Coffee with natural cream, even flavored ones can tame the sugar. Coffee is good for ya. Not over doing it of course.

We drove and stayed at the Hilton saving a poo ton of money. But hey it's a dream vacation, do what floats your boat and have a blast! 

Yeah, we did Disney on the super cheap in '15. 3 days and stayed at Melia, which is pretty close. It was fun, but less than ideal in many ways.

Went to 5 a.m. session to begin my 6 week camp. It sucked more than i thought it would.

Its one thing going to boot camp at 18 years old, it's another being 31 years old, over the hill and overweight. 

I weighed in yesterday at 213.9 lbs and hope to get down to 188 by February 23.

Keep us posted on that. Im not doing extreme stuff but now at 199 from a high of 215.

Want to be in the 185-190 range and become a Kempo stud.

Awesome. I was thinking about doing a running diary given it is only 6 weeks long. 

Today I felt like crap all day. Headaches (I think a combination from extreme workout, lack of sleep and caffeine withdrawals). 

You were about the same weight as me so glad to see others on the journey too. What are you doing for the weight loss?

When its cold months, interval training and low carbs. When its warm tons of walking some jogging. 

But im a big fan of weekday/wkd eating. I try  to avoid carbs or high calorie beers m-thrs and use the wkds as my cheat days. I always eat eggs for breakfast to load up on protein. Maybe fruit or oatmeal.  No sodas.

Veggies as much as possible and lean meats.

I start lifting this week twice a week. Cut is what im looking for.

Other things are push ups and pull ups when im bored.

Just keep it fresh and fun.

Ain't weight loss the goal every year?

I was about 197 at Thanksgiving at my heaviest. Dropped to 192 after Christmas because I did a three day juice cleanse and watched what I ate. Now I'm hovering around 186. Just dieting so far, eating less and eating better.

I was 180 for like three years before I jumped up this summer when my gym jacked up my rates by 20% a month and I cancelled my membership. Might head back to a gym at some point. No Panthers football on Sundays will help, I always make snack foods and sit on the couch all day during football season.

So an update on my boot camp.

I lost 2 lbs in 4 days so far which is nice. I've been putting in a lot of work, following the strict diet and working out really hard at the camp but I do not know how my wife lost 3 lbs when she does everything half ass.

I successfully weened myself off caffeine. I haven't had coffee since Sunday morning and I feel great. I was going to puke on Monday and slowly, reduced my coffee intake from small, to half decaf, to 3/4 decaf, to nothing today. I feel great knowing I got it out since I depended on coffee for the last 7 years.

I have not had sugar in my body since Sunday either and I feel great knowing that I have cleaned up my diet. Eating every 2 1/2 hours, 6 oz of protein for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, 3 oz for my snacks inbetween.

I hope to get under 210 by Monday.

Good update. I still think some coffee has its benefits overall.

But def cutting out sugar can only help. Maybe replace coffee with hot green tea and get a smaller jolt but get the fat burning that comes with it and the immune system boost.

Keep it going man.

    • Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.
    • Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
    • You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
