Soon as things calm down..lol I'll be back at the gym.
I lost 20 pounds in the past 6 months, now at 140. What I want to do now is work out for once in my life. I started lifting a few weeks ago and I'm already noticing a change. But I need some good food that will help me gain.
Lean steak, tuna, chicken breasts. As much green vegetables as you can handle. Spinach, broccoli, kale, etc.Quote:

So this thread needs revived. Got my BF% read the other day and didn't get a chance to pick up the results till tonight. Here's the results. 82lbs of fat lost. 2lbs muscle gained (seems off a bit). Thought the body density was pretty funny because I noticed this summer that I no longer naturally float. I have to inhale a ton of air to stay afloat in the pool.

niiiiiiice.
262 here.
so 28-33 lbs thus far.
Binged ate like crazy about 3 weeks ago. Went to the doctor, got my right weight, weighed in at about 189 lbs at 5'9". I plan on getting down to 170 lbs hopefully and see where I am at once I get there. I've been able to do my workout and include 20 mins of cardio (10mins of elliptical, and 10 mins of biking) which is an improvement over the no cardio I used to do. Main problem is that a lot of my fat seem to store either in the belly, or the chest, just seems more noticeable :l
Anyways, where can I get tests like that run usually? And how much do they normally run price wise?
Lost 18lbs now since August.
Started at 268 now i'm at 250.
i am hovering around 248ish right now. i cant seem to find a consistent schedule to work out. i am going to attempt sticking to mondays and wednesdays at a minimum. on mondays i will hit the weights hard. on wednesday i will run a mile, then hit the weights a little lighter, but do more reps.
If you're planning on losing weight, running the mile after you do weights is the best thing you can do. Try not to do it before. I've also read (can't remember whether it was in my nutrition book or an online article) that taking protein helps in losing fat, instead of losing both fat and muscle. So you may not be losing weight particularly, but you will seeing your body getting toned.
But that's assuming you're into taking protein.
i havent really taken anything. i wouldnt mind getting into it, but it looks like a lot of the powder drink mix things are pretty damn expensive from all the guys i know that use them.
Take the better diet avenue.
i like to think i have been trying at that, but i know i havent.
Protein supplements are nice when you don't have time for a meal or are trying to get some quick protein in after a workout to recover... but otherwise, real food's the ticket.
I find that running after weight training to be a more effective system. I don't lift any lighter before running, but I might cut down the number of sets or reduce redundant exercises to save time.
the main hurdles I've found in keeping a gym schedule:
1. Working overtime, dating girls, breaking cars
2. Recovery time.
**Remedies: SLEEP, eat clean food, drink lots of water, lower alcohol intake :eek:, supplement with aminos, remember not to overtrain
Two days a week is nice. Three days a week gets me better results. If you split it up well enough, it's do-able. like... Monday back/biceps, Tuesday legs, Thursday chest/shoulders/triceps. That leaves you Friday-Sunday to party/work on car/ maybe go for a run and do some situps.
when i lift i just like to do everything. i know its not the correct way to go about it, but its how i feel accomplished when im done.
Nothing wrong with that. It's pretty much how crossfit works (which I've seen plenty of people get ripped doing). I guess the only advice I could give then would be to keep on compound exercises (like pullups, dips, squats, lunges, etc.) and cut out the b.s. ones, like preacher curls, leg presses, wrist curls, leg extensions, and the whole list of isolation exercises. That is to say, if you haven't already.
