Exercise will help a ton. My A1C went from 6.2 to 5.3 over the past 2 years with weight loss and consistent exercise.

Tuesday's and Saturdays, I do a 2 min. warm up at 4.0 on treadmill. Sprint at 11.0 for 30 sec. Back to 4.0 for 60. I do those 30/60 intervals at those speeds 10x. Then a 2 min cool down at 4.0. 18 minutes total.

Weightlifting (unless you are doing a circuit type training and even then not that much) doesnt really burn too many extra calories during your workout. I dont log my lifting as a calorie burn.

I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey. I like the double rich chocolate flavor. 29.99 for 2 lb tub at GNC or online.

6 pack by 40! It was my goal when I started this journey at 37 and 293 lbs. Got 4 of the 6 starting to show now at 185 lbs. Need about 10 more lbs to make it happen I believe. 10 months to 40th b-day.

I love the carbs! When I have a day where I go way over my goal....its almost always a big carb day (like 300-500g). Cant wait until I get to bulking phase where I can do 300+ carbs per day, every day.

Exercise - Yes. 1hr 15min lifting session. 20 min. Cardio. Calories - Yes. 1750 net calorie goal every day (-1.5 lbs per week). Ended up at 1636. I was slightly in the red at 11:30 pm, so I just did a 20 minute cardio session to get me back in the green. Tracked - Yes. I leave tomorrow for a work trip for 4 days. Eating…

I never cut out any food. Just ate it in moderation. I still eat ice cream, pizza, Mexican on more than a weekly basis. I knew I couldnt restrict foods i love and be successful. I just make them fit into my calorie goals. I eat more healthy foods, but still eat everything in moderation. My diary is open, so feel free to…

Usually at least 3 times a day. I like to see the effects of certain foods and how water consumption affects me. Also, I don't freak out about fluctuations but it fascinates me how much weight ebbs and flows throughout the day.

I posted in the original thread. I am nearing my goal weight after 2 years and 110 lbs lost. I hope you dont mind me joining as a motivator and also to help encourage or answer questions about my journey to help othera along who are trying to accomplish the same thing. If I can do it, you can too!

Nope. My dad was in the Air Force, but I never served. I am a HS teacher and coach.

There are lots of ways to measure it (with varying degrees of accuracy). I just use the navy body fat calculator using body measurements (it's not the most accurate, but it shows me change over time).

Original starting weight - 293 January starting weight - 185.6 (13.6% body fat) January goal - 178 (11.5% body fat) Ultimate goal - 10% body fat (probably around 172 or so, then bulk to add muscle) January 1st - 185.6 (13.6%) January 8th - January 15th - January 22nd - January 28th - Total loss for January-

This minus the pepperoni with some green salsa added!

Biggest thing if you are wanting to lose weight is to have a calorie deficit. Calorie deficit=weight loss. If you are wanting to make sure the majority of weight you lose is from fat instead of muscle to lower your bf% and have a leaner look at your desired weight....then make sure you have sufficient protein and lift…

I personally think body fat percentage is a better metric for overall health and fitness. A male who is muscular may be very fit but "overweight" at 10% body fat (or a woman at 18%). Conversely, some one with less muscle may be normal BMI, but have an abundance of body fat. That's why I have a body fat goal, more so than a…

Hello all! I decided to join this accountability group because I have gotten a little complacent the past couple of months and have kind of waffled around the same weight/body fat % area. In the past 2 years, I have lost about 110 pounds (from 293-low to mid 180s) and about 30% body fat (from over 40% to now about 13-14%).…

Deadlifts Assisted pull ups Chest Flys Had to cut off workout early (gym was closing early for NYE). I will finish the rest of my lifts tomorrow plus my normal Tuesday cardio and abs.

Correct!
