    If I had to describe how it looks, I would go with "sweaty beached whale aggressively struggling to go faster". :smile:

    Hahaha! No pain no gain ;)

    What are the things you do that really help you see the pounds come off?
    Not shoveling food into my mouth. A reasonable diet is 80% of weight loss. The workouts are more for strength, power, speed, endurance flexibility, and aesthetics.. also good!

    If you're starting out, I'd pick strength training with a personal trainer or a comprehensive program like Stronglifts or New Rules of Lifting (Supercharged). Strength training will help you preserve muscle as you lose weight, and done in circuits also provides low-impact cardio. It's rare that people choose a good set of exercises on their own, hence leveraging experienced trainers or balanced progressive programs. While doing these programs, focus as much as you can on form.

    Me? M/W/F - C25K + NROL Supercharged.
    Weekend - Yoga or sports such as soccer and basketball

    Weight lifting 3 times a week. Cardio on the other 2 days, which mostly consists of walking for an hour. I hate jogging.

    Also, if I happen to be at the gym, my favourite machines are the elliptical and rowing machines. Weird I know. I just enjoy how they feel. But they are for fun, they don't burn many calories. (At least not for me.)

    My calorie deficit is a combination of diet and exercise. Weight is coming off fine. :)

    Elliptical burns hundreds if you go at it with focus for 20-25 mins!
