NEED TO LOSE 120LB NEED HELP!

ever heard of shaun T's insanity? buy his package

you will get a MMA / cross fit speed ladder, a high quality jump rope

and get started on Max Intensity Interval Training

I did 45 minutes of it and I am generating a big puddle of my own sweat on the floor

do 45 minutes you burn 1000 calories immediatly and generate an after burn of 200 calories / hour with a diminishing return value

and then you burn more during quality sleep, highly recommend it

do this for 60 days, you'll shred the fat and you might even see 6 pack abs

good luck

Please just listen to earlier sane advice given. Do NOT repond or listen to posts from unclehofitnes above. He just had two threads locked within 10 minutes of each other.

ok so this is what i have gathered from MFP -

BMR -2,279 to maintain weight
........................................................................................................
Nutritional goals Target
Net Calories Consumed* / Day 1,850 Calories / Day
Carbs / Day 231.0 g
Fat / Day 62.0 g
Protein / Day 93.0 g

Now i know what to eat and what not to eat.( greens, meats, whole grains, ect)

The remaining issue is when to eat?

ex. I work from 6pm -6am .. so when i get home do i eat breakfast and go to bed at 8am. then wake up at Noon and eat lunch then go back to sleep untill 4pm wake up and work out for 1hr get ready for work at 5pm to be at work by 6pm. Then eat dinner at work by 7pm and eat nothing else througout the night? this is what i don't understand. isn't it bad to eat and go to sleep right after? so if that is the case then when should I eat?

When I worked nights, I adjusted my eating schedule to the night. Like my whole eating routine rotated. So you can have one meal when you get home from work, but don't wake up in the middle of the day to get lunch. You need your sleep. Eat your next meal before you go to work, and a third meal during your "lunch" break.

Another thing I haven't seen you mention is whether or not you're married or have kids. It's easier if you're single. This is how I started cooking:
- I stock up on freezer goods: meat and vegetables, mostly. I break the meat into 1-3 serving packages as soon as I get home from the grocery store.
- Each night I move a package of meat to the fridge to thaw out.
- Each meal, I cook a serving of meat, and a serving of vegetables. I don't put much thought into the combinations, it's just what I have in stock and feel like eating. The portion size is more important. A lot of people will warn you about the importance of variety. I think that's really a personal preference. If you get sick of eating something, find something new. I work well with routine, so having more-or-less the same food all the time keeps me on track.
- I also kept fruit and nuts handy for snacks.

Avoid all caps for starts, makes it hard to read.

No matter your schedule you can definitely lose weight and make smarter choices.

#1 Get a kitchen scale for home and also leave one at work and use measuring cups for liquids. Measure / weigh everything, guessing is a sure fire way to under or overestimate portion sizes.

#2 Always record everything. This is something I had to learn the hardway, but record everything you eat when you eat it when possible. If you're at work, leave fitness pal up in the background that way there's no excuses.

#3 Make smarter choices. You can eat anything you want on this diet, and I mean anything. The catch is you need to stay as close to your daily allowance as possible. So if you are allowed 2,000 calories per day, use them wisely.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to keep your diet just by practicing proper portioning and holding yourself accountable for calories you go over.

From what I have been reading on the forums... I doesn't matter what time you eat as long as you dont go over your calories for the day... Interesting indeed... Does anyone Disagree?

Correct. Your body doesn't know what time it is.

To lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. What/when you eat doesn't matter one bit unless you have underlying health issues of some kind.

Hodge Twins is right when they say this at the end of all their videos

"at the end of the day folks, this is just advice so.... you can do whatever the F**K you wanna do!"

my thread got locked because 90% of the people on this website has nothing else better to do than to troll and make personal attacks, I'm sure if someone wants to get started again every thread on this website will get locked.

which makes this forum part of the website very useless

Your thread got locked because you don't know what you're talking about. That's about it. There's a lot of very intelligent people in this community that aren't afraid to call you out when your wrong, and they'll even provide real facts and provide sources for their information.

You lost credibility when you said white bread causes diabetes. Just saying. Your young, why not try to learn a few things while your here. Just because you think you know something doesn't mean it's right. If you can't back something up with facts you don't have much of a leg to stand on.

I work a desk job during the day, but I'm either glued to a computer, or running around our office. As silly as this sounds, sometimes I like to lunge through my office, walk around for a few minutes, or do squats. Not only does it help to stretch out, but you can fit in little bursts of exercise here and there.

Just be prepared for the funny looks from your coworkers!

THURS / FR / SAT your off - Them days!!!!!!! I would do 3 days, but 3 very good days and work my *kitten* off!!!

First of all, personally if I wanted to lose 120lbs - I would do lots of cardio, and introduce weights to burn fat

List of things I would do:

1) Throw all the crap out of the house, All the sugary biscuits, cakes, chocs, fizzy pop, crisps, savoury processed rubbish - Get a black sack and bin it right now!!!! BYE BYE JUNK!!!

2) Head to the super market, replace the stuff you've thrown away with yummy fruits and veg, lots of protein, chicken, fish, beef, eggs, cottage cheese, yoghurts, nuts, seeds, good fats etc. Healthy yummy snacks to nibble on - Make some good hearty dinners, filling and fresh

3) If you haven't already got one - Get a good cook book for yummy quick recipes

4) Work out your BMR & TDEE - Tells you have many calories you need to lose

5) Start logging on here, weighing too is good

6) Move, Move a lot more than you would, When your cooking move around, get off the bus before work, use the stairs instead of lifts etc - Move, Move - Gym - Sweat Sweat Sweat!!!

7) Make water your best friend - I drink 3 big bottles of water 1.5l just at work, that's without my cups of tea & coffee's, and water I drink at the gym - WATER WATER WATER

8) Peppermint tea & greentea are great too, try them

9) Get lots of sleep when you can, don't stress!!

10) Portion control is key - Look how much food your putting on your plate, Do you really need to eat of that? Could you eat half now, and save half for later? Etc.

Ps) Protein keeps you fuller for longer, so always try and add protein to your food.

Ie: This morning I had oatmeal for breakfast with lots of peanut butter, It keeps me full for hours and hours and fuels me for my day!!!

This is the best things I can think of to be honest. You will do great with your weight loss! Take it slow, its not a rush, Take pictures too, as I am sure in no time, you will be posting your before & afters : )

Good luck!!

Hope my advice helped!!!!!!!!!!!!
