I'm Dan. I've been working out 3 years. My goal is look like a god. Yes, a god. I've put on 70lbs since I started lifting, 50 more to go. Umm, that's about it. If anyone needs weightlifting tips, I am always open. Just dont ask for diet advice because I live on cheeseburgers, junk food, and sugar
How come you don't eat a healthier diet? And when you say another 50 pounds, you mean in muscle correct?0 -
@ Cynthia, people have critizied me about me wanting to lose weight "because I look fine I don't need to lose anymore weight" and etc. Its tough to gain the motivation at first, but once you start working out and eating right your body is going to start loving every minute of it and want more of it. Just take steps for now and you should be well on your way soon0

Yeah, lean mass. So realistically another 70lbs to maintain my current bf%.
I just dont like eating healthy. I can barely eat enough as it is, I pick the highest calorie foods I can every day. I do watch some of what I eat, like I eat grass fed beef, free range eggs etc etc. As i get closer to my goal I'll clean it up a bit.0 -
Hi all!!!
I'm Theresa. I'm 5'11" and weight about 178lbs. Well, I wanted to have an amazing body and be in great shape before my husband comes home...he's in Kuwait now. I wanted to lose 20-25lbs, but I'm having a hard time keeping off the 5lbs lost during the last two months. I'll have a loss of 1-2lbs a week and then gain 1-2 another week. So overall, I've only lost 1.5lbs. I'm losing inches which from what I've been told is good, but very frustrating when the scale doesn't reflect it! Now, I would be happy if I'm able to lose 15 pounds during the next 8 months. Hopefully, the "I'm sexy and I know it feeling" will be one I share too. :-)0 -

The reason why you are seeing much of a difference in the scale is because a pound of muscle equals a pound of fat, only with muscle its 3 x smaller than fat, hence the losing inches not the actual weight0 -

I wish I could eat like you lol but then I wouldn't get anywhere. But you're already buff enough, don't you think another 50 lbs is pushing it a bit? Even for the "god" look?0 -
Maybe. It's just a goal. I'd be fine sitting at 235 lbs 8% bf, which is like 40-50 some lbs total added. But I have a different goal than most people...I know girls dont like that pro bodybuilder look...but I do.0

Well I don't mind bodies of body builders, but for me there's a line when it comes to getting that buff. But hey its your body, and I hope you have fun getting that next 50 lbs, sounds like it might take a while though0 -
Thanks for the response! I'll just have to be patient and hopefully my little ticker will start to move. 0

Welcome but for me the scale doesn't matter. What matters is your measurements and the inches you are losing. You be surprised on how many people will guess your weight wrong because you look skinnier than you really are because of your muscles 0 -

Hi, I am trying to work out and get back into shape. My husband just smiles when I say I am going to lose weight and get back in shape. I really want to make it work this time and would appreciate any help and support. My daughter is working out with me.
Please HELP and SUPPORT me!0 -
Hi. I'm Alison, 32 years old. I'm a busy wife & mother of 3.
I'm here to finally get to goal, about 40 more pounds to go. I started losing weight Jan 2007, and I will get to this point, get too comfortable, gain weight, then start the cycle all over again. This time I'm going to cut the cockiness off at the pass and finally finish my weight loss journey.
I want to find my "sexy" so bad I can't stand it.0 -

I get the same reaction from my husband...I've said it so many times in the past and did nothing about it. Now, while he's away I really want to show him that I could do it. I'm here to support and motivate you!!! :happy:0 -
Hi! Im Megan! My goal is to lose about 20 pounds. Once there I want to re-evaluate. Im 5 foot tall and 148. Ive started lowering my calories but havent done much exercising. Ive never been able to stick to something and actually lose weight. But my bf is working out and getting lots of sun so I need to keep up. Another goal besides weight loss is to lose my "mommy pouch" in my lower stomach! I had a c-section 4 months ago and am having difficulty losing it. If anyone has any tips at all or good work out routines I would LOVE to hear them! Thank you and good luck to everyone! 0

Haha, I'm not a surgery person (and neither is my significant other!!). Whatever I get from working out and eating well is what I'm stuck with; no surgeries.0

What a big goal! We're all here to support you through it all! :happy: and who knows, maybe if you do lose all that weight including your boobs maybe a new man (or woman) walks into your life and pays for new ones
JUST KIDDING! Even though women have said their husbands have done that on here :grumble:

Hi Everyone,
This is my first group that I have joined but I have read through and you all seem so supportive I think this is just what I need right now. I want to lose about another 50lbs and I am happy to do it pretty slowly to make sure I keep it off. I have really changed in the last year that I have been on MFP and although I have not lost that much weight I have felt a lot sexier and been braver with the things I wear. I can't wait for this to keep getting better and better. I think feeling good about yourself at whatever weight you are is the most important feeling in the world. Good luck everyone xx0 -
