  • I recommend an elliptical if you have access to one. I am also just over 200lbs and I prefer the benefits of this machine over pounding my knees on concrete. Also, you can adjust programs, resistance, and degrees of height to challenge you as you continue to lose weight. Your body will thank you for it. =)

  • This happens to me quite often and I combat it with an increased workout for that day. This is of course after I slightly indulge in a snack, as healthy as possible.

  • Wine, Cab Sav or tri blend with Merlot. I also find Chilean's and any Sonoma's to be relaxing. Prost!
    in I need a drink....an alcoholic one. How about you? Comment by IrishGuru25 January 2012
  • This is very easy in theory but will require a bit of personal sacrifice...adjust your diet to allow for better food with less calories. Junk food/packaged/processed food will simply make weight loss difficult. When I started this in April, I gave up fast food, less alcohol, and greatly increased my water intake. Also, I…

  • I used (still use) the assisted pull-up machine at my gym. I am currently 200lbs, so I set the counter weight to 110lbs, leaving about 90lbs difference to my body weight. This has made my pull up workout very effective and fun. Plus my arms have seriously contoured to show better definition. I also do dips in this manner,…
    in What do you guys think of this routine? Comment by IrishGuru25 November 2011

I had a 24 session plan projected over time and tailored to my individual needs. My trainer has a 4-year degree with several certifications and is actively engaged in marathons, PT events and general…
    in Personal trainers, why? Comment by IrishGuru25 November 2011
  • I hesitate a bit posting this...but I feel your anquish. I once pulled my groin training for a marathon and I did not want to lose ground as well. I started on the elliptical and I was able to continue to burn my calories as well as keep some cardio in my daily routine. If you go this route, go slow and easy. Rest your…

  • I recommend spacing your water intake to encompass a longer period of time vs a short burst. Simply put, the more water you throw at your body in a short amount of time, the more water your body is going to push out via your kidneys. If your body is unable to use the large amount of water given to it, it simply sends it…
