Er... I just discovered something about weight loss I cannot belive I have never heard anyone talk about before but must be the single biggest motivator possible.
My dick is bigger now.
Part of the length is hidden by the fat at the base where the pubic hair is, so losing the weight reveals more dick. Ok it isn't actually longer but then again it goes inside your body and is really a foot long so what shows is what counts. I obsessively measured it in my mid teens and was just shy of the average 6'' at maximum erection, yesterday apparently ~2cm longer and approching 7''. Jesus Christ.
You can find out the maximum possible minus fat by pressing a ruler down to your pubic bone. Now I wasn't even that bad (18 stone to 13.5 stone) and I'm rocking a possible inch loss, your classic morbidly obese american is going to be losing I guess 2 inches though it probally doesn't scale in a linear way.

Except no one would know what the fuck a "stone" is because it's the most retarded unit of measurement in the world. Coming from Americans, who already use some pretty retarded units of measurement, that's saying something. Good job, England. I'm sorry for the anger, but I'm frustrated you made me go to Google and do a conversion in order to understand the magnitude of your weight loss.
I'm honestly surprised you've never heard anyone mention your dick getting bigger when you lose weight. I know Dr. Oz mentioned it at some point on TV, and it's talked about all the time on bodybuilding.com (and always accompanied by "no homo"; such a shitty site). How noticeable the effect is will depend a lot on exactly where you carry your fat. I never had that problem because most of my fat gets stored in my thighs and ass like a woman, however I can see someone who carries their fat in the stomach noticing a big difference as the fat melts away.

That's one thing I hate about having put on weight over the last 3 years. I'm not morbidly obese or anything, but it definitely takes a cm or two off the total.
On that note, so far I've lost 2.5kg in the last, I think 12 days, using the altered diet + 1/2 hour on the treadmill every day. Pretty happy about it - although pissed off that I ballooned by 4kg in September, otherwise I'd already be back down to 2 digits. Still, slow motion is better than no motion. Shooting to be back in the 80's by March.

But Azrayne, bro, how many stone is that?
I was finally able to find whole yogurt rather than the reduced fat/fat free stuff. It is a revelation. The fat free stuff is really strongly acidic or something, you kind of have to suffer through eating it. The whole stuff tastes really good actually and there is only a minimal difference in calories. Good shit.

It's also a lot more expensive. I can find some variant of low-fat/fat free shit yogurt on sale for like 89 cents each every week, but finding whole, plain yogurt on sale is like finding a leprechaun riding a unicorn at the end of a rainbow. The cheapest regular price for them around here is 1.50 each, which is just absurdly expensive in my opinion.
*edit* I'm talking about Greek yogurt, which is a bit more expensive than regular. I can't recall ever seeing whole, plain regular yogurt around. Even whole, plain Greek is hard to find, with the only brand in grocery stores around here being Fage.

Why are you suffering through plain fat free yogurt? It's an ingredient, not something to be eaten by itself. I buy the fat free plain greek yogurt, only because that's what BJs offers, and these are some of the things I mix with it:
Craisins. Be sure to combine them when you pack your lunch that morning. This way the sugar on the berries has time to mix with yogurt. Also, the berries will reconstitute a bit. Downside is that it ends up looking like something you scraped off a tampon.
Granola. Make your own, or just buy a mix. My wife made one that's chocolate, shaved coconut, and slivered almonds. Pretty much an almond joy. You will probably need to add a sweetener to the yogurt. You can even use something fake like Splenda because the downside of a fake sugar doesn't really come through when you only need a bit to take the edge off the sourness.
Speculoos! This is my favorite so far. Since the yogurt needs some fat and speculoos is pretty much fat, the two go together very well.

I always mix berries in and top with granola. Even with that I find the fat free stuff offensive, a super bitter/acidic taste. Not a big cranberry guy either. But Speculoos... man, I can't have that shit in my house, I'd be rockin that shit in everything. The whole fat stuff really works well. And at 170 calories per cup it isn't bad at all. I use maybe half a cup in the morning with berries, usually less. The trick is controlling the granola. This local place makes granola and they sell it in Wegman's, it is AWESOME, but like 1/4 cup is almost 200 calories, and 1/4 cup is WAY less than you think (or hope).

I imagine for a lot of people it has to do with taste. Most people here (myself included and everyone in the beer thread) probably really enjoy the taste of beer. I've never been a big fan of whiskey/rum/scotch/etc. unless it's mixed with something, which defeats the purpose because that adds tons of sugar and calories.
When I decided to get into shape I largely abandoned beer except for the occasional Miller Lites. I switched to Vodka with a twist of lime and splash of soda water. It tastes great and doesn't have nearly the calories (nor carbs) of the porters, stouts, and other hearty beers I used to drink.

I guess. I can't stand the taste of beer. But I'll drink Jack & diet coke all evening. I bet I could get blackout drunk on Jack & DC on less than 300 calories...

I think you're underestimating how many calories are in whiskey. As far as I know, a shot of whiskey (depending on the size of the shot and the kind of whiskey) can have anywhere from 70 to 100+ calories. My mixed drinks generally have about a shot's worth of liquor, which means at the very least each drink is probably worth 70ish calories. It varies person-to-person, of course, but 4 Jack & Diets won't come anywhere close to getting me "black out drunk".I guess. I can't stand the taste of beer.

I found I didn't need sweetener with craisins, but I do with granola and even speculoos. 1/4 cup of granola with 4 oz of yogurt and a bit of splenda usually works for me. And I know I have a sweet tooth. IDK, maybe I just deal with it because I know it's got a lot of protein. Tried speculoos and french toast yet?
Cad, you sure about that 300 calories? That's only ~4 ounces of whiskey.

I love scotch, I love Rye and I love Bourbon. I also love Gin. But I love beer more than all 4 of those combined. My biggest problem with weight loss is drinking. My biggest problem with drinking is boredom. It's also why I smoke. Being 31 and the only single one of my friends really puts a damper on activities during the week. I golf a lot in the summer but that doesn't help because I just drink and smoke with the guys I golf with.
Really it's just motivation and willpower, but I just don't care enough right now I suppose. It doesn't help that stouts and porters are two of my favorite styles of beer and they only really get released (the good ones) this time of year so I stock up.
