    1. Your beginning stats (with pics, if possible) 240 ish. Profile pic.
    2. The routine you did. Heavy weight training 5x a week with cardio on those days, either basketball or elliptical.
    3. The diet you did. high protein low fat diet with, made sure I was at a calorie deficit of -500.
    4. The resulting stats (with pics, if possible) 210ish. Profile pic
    5. The DURATION to achieve those results. Took about 2 years to get where I am now, I had back surgery and couldn't lift for about 11 months.

    1. Your beginning stats: 5'5 185-190 pounds (see profile picture)

    2. The routine you did: I lost every lb from my before and after in my profile pic by running. More specifically I trained for a half marathon, so running 15-125 miles a week. I also tried to include some strength exercises like yoga and weight lifting, but not nearly as much as I should have. Working on that now.

    3. The diet you did: I lost weight eating pizza, ice cream, cereal, and basically all the vegetarian junk food you can think of. On training days I ate 1800 calories, on rest days I ate 1400.

    4. The resulting stats (with pics, if possible): See my profile picture, currently down to 130 pounds. All that's left is to lower my bf%!

    5. The DURATION to achieve those results: It took me a year to go from 190 to 130.

    Nice job! You really transformed your body! If you had it to do over, what would you do differently, in terms of weight training?

    I would have done more of it. If I had lifted more I would have more muscle mass and less body fat.

    Makes sense. What's your current plan with weight training?

    I recently had a breast augmentation so I can only do lower body work out and light cardio right now. So I do 2 lower body work outs a week in conjunction with cardio.

    You're going about this all wrong, because you're asking the wrong questions. What are YOUR goals?
