Ok, ok, that title was a little goofy, but no goofier than P90's ad campaign. lol

I am also lifetime drug free, so any results I have gotten are mine and not my dealers'!

This made me literally LOL! Glad to see with the change in your appearance you have kept a good humor. To many people change for the bad on the inside when they change for the good on the outside. KWIM

MY EXERCISE REGIME:

CARDIO:
I hate to say it, but there is no getting around cardio. I truly HATE cardio, but I do it. Slow and easy cardio done first thing in the morning before breakfast is the BEST way to drop fat. When I skimped on it for a few days, I didn't lose anything. There's a lesson to be learned somewhere in there...

All I did was walk on a treadmill for 30-60 minutes before breakfast nice and easy on 3.0, no hills or incline. The time depended on how I felt that day. Some days I actually wanted to do an hour, some days I was happy to get the hell out of there in 30 minutes. Let your mood be your guide.

One thing that REALLY helped was this handy-dandy laptop desk I rigged up. I'd take my notebook with me on the treadmill and check my email or watch TV while I walked. I don't have time to watch much with my business, so this worked out nicely. It was "me" time.



If you're really serious about losing weight you will find a way to make it work, if not you'll just find excuses. Mixing entertainment and exercise is one way to do it.

A. I'm happy to hear this. I keep thinking I'm not doing enough when I walk at 3 mph for the same amount of time. I feel good both physically and mentally after getting on the treadmill and it always works in my favour on the scale. I also don't show losses if I don't do it. So many argue against slow and low but it works for me too.
B. I love your set up. Where did you buy the stand that your laptop is sitting on?

Hmmm, I really wanted to edit my original post to include the diet and exercise stuff, but I'll just have to put it wayyyy back here on page 5.

WEIGHTS
Ok, I'm not going to lie to you, I lift just about every day. My weightlifting routine is completely unique and I would have a hard time explaining it here. I would give it a shot if people were truly interested. Let me know.

I can tell you that my muscle mass was retained solely because I lifted just as heavy as I did when I was bulking up. I didn't change anything up, no higher reps/lighter weight or anything like that. I trained to lift the heaviest weights I possibly could in correct form.

Heavy weights = muscle tissue (even when under caloric restriction).

I made sure to back off a bit when I felt an ache or pain coming on, but I still went in every day and lifted something. Some days I'd push to two hours, some days only 45 minutes, just like cardio I went by feel. This is something that just takes experience.

If anyone is looking for a cookie cutter program, I'd say just use Jim Wendler's 5/3/1, you can find it on www.elitefts.com.

i started really exercising for the first time back on 2/17/11 when i got a treadmill. i am glad that you stated what you did above because as for cardio, that is all i do too. when i started i could only go about 15mins at 1.5mph, slow i know. but now i am at 30mins at 2.5mph. i am hoping to be able to go at least 45mins and get to 3mph as well. i also started lifting weights too for upper body as i have no upper body strength. i started with 2lb weights and when i didnt feel it burning i moved to 3lb and now i am on 5lb. i love lifting the weights and i feel stronger every day. so, do you have any tips for someone like me? I have about 93lbs to go and am down about 41lbs now. i want to build muscle to help me burn fat but i also want to be stronger!! thanks so much for any advice!

I have a long haul flight ahead of me tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be making a more concise blog post about my diet and exercise approach then.

Also, up to this point I just used MFP to count calories so I honestly have no idea how to use most of this site yet, please bare with me while I figure it all out.
