I wouldn't say it is impossible, genetics play a big part, but the real issue is how much time do you have to devote to this, and given your current physique, what's the point? To be at the BF% you currently have, your body is already burning nearly everything you are taking in... to gain lean muscle mass, you are going to…

weigh in the same clothes that you weighed in in the first place, or bite the bullet and set a new habit this week.

I don't run as fast, and I have to do the walk/run thing, but I am evidence that HEAVY (nice way to say it there) people can run. In fact, they should, but again, in a controlled manner to protect their knees. I weight 340, trust me, it can be done. I walk more than I run, but I do C25K and am back on Week 2. Three years…

It's been a while, I am working my way back to that, but last time, it was week 4 that put the breaks on. I still ran my 5k, but using my week 4 music. I found that due to my weight, I had to kind of match my progress through c25K with my weight loss. Being 340#, I needed to basically only move to the next week/level when…

Ha, wait until that young man suddenly is returning home from a mission. My youngest son came home in September. My youngest daughter moved out three years ago to go to BYU at the age of 17, she turns 20 next month... snif... I am either getting old, or they are using time warp drugs...

Don't give up, it is SOOO much harder later in life, trust me. You hang in there, you obviously now the ropes to lose 110#, so we know you can do it!!

Might I point out a little experiment done in our home years ago. Our kids were doing the 'yucky' thing and whining about wanting McD's or nuggets, or cereal, etc. So we locked food up where kids couldn't get it, served healthy meals (with little fun things like pnut butter and celery, or creme cheese/pineapple filler),…

Hmm, maybe we should start a list on Chinese foods. But, healthy is interesting.in China. You find out real quick that Chinese people are skinny because they don't each much meat, and down HUGE quantities of rice. (as in I have seen men in our cafeteria each 3 cups at lunch). So, first is that the veggies are where it's…

I am in for 4200 calories (and I don't exercise on Sunday)....

I'm in, I have 150# to lose... one day at a time.

Eh, that trainer needs some continuous learning hours. Nuts are an incredible part of your diet. Anyone that is telling you to limit fats because nuts are HALF your allowance for fat is uninformed. Yes, you don't want to overload on fat, but your diet has a RANGE for fat, and that can be a little higher or lower every day.…

Okay, read a few more answers, I have to ask, what are you calling a 30-45 minute workout? not being facetious, but I have been in gyms with people who get on a machine, push and pull, then wander 5 minutes, then a second set, wander, set 3, wander etc. If you are working out, no more than 30 seconds of rest between sets.…

calorie count is way low. Also, cut back on carbs, plus up your proteins, all fruit snacks before your dinner meal, and try not to eat after 8pm. with your exercise level, you are on HOLD in starvation mode at 1200 calories. You should be between 1500-1650 every day. I would suggest that you try to plan your meals a day…

I am a food hoarder. I buy stuff I know I shouldn't eat, and put it in the fridge, drawers, and cupboards. Then over the course of literally months, I suddenly will get a hankering and kill it off (an item). My wife hates it because it tempts her, but it helps me with cravings since I don't feel like it isn't there is I…
