^^ THIS. I was reading this thread and the whole time thinking 165 at 5'11? omg..you must be a stick. I am 5'8 and 188 and look healthy...I have muscle mass and I'm still on a defecit to hit 170...but at 170 I'll be around 12.5% BF or so. So 5'8 170lbs 12.5% BF and you are at 5'11 165lbs? I find it hard to believe you…

Hey I got United States! Guess I'll stay right there then!

I say give him another shot. I figure everyone is saying not to....and if you do and it works I'll end up being a genius! WOOT!

Ahhh Canada conquered the Indians first? gotcha.

I'm stuck on the whole Thanksgiving thing...Isn't it October 8th? What do you do on Nov. 22nd? Thankstaking?

I tell my MFP friends Im an 18 year old hot blond cheerleader to get attention....does that count?

WINNER WINNER

Oh noes...Where is this zumba class? I want to experience this horror for myself.

Harley Quinn from Batman! Yeah I like them clingy!

This cant be serious....I've seen people hanged for lesser crimes then dumping whisky!!

How about joining an MMA center and doing stuff there? Obviously much pricer, but the motivation and knowledge you get..trumps all videos imo.

I have a test for you....find the caps lock button

So, I guess first you need to ask yourself...is it possible to lose weight without exercising? The answer is yes. Why is that? Because you are eating at a defecit. If you exercise...you have an even bigger defecit...if you eat back your exercise calories...you are still at the original defecit before working out. Hopefully…

Please dont simplfy the answer that much....if people were to listen to this logic they would create huge defecits that would end up slowing down their metabolism and hurt them in the end. If I were eating 2500 calories a day, then exercising so much per day that I burned 2000-2500 a day (crazy I know but proving a point)…

Depends on your workouts and what you are looking to accomplish. Are you just looking to lower the number on the scale? Are you looking to look better naked in the mirror? Are you looking to add muscle? Are you looking to get stronger? I'd say the typical consensus of MFP users who dont have much to lose is that they are…

Do whatever works for you. MFP is designed so that you eat back your exercise calories...if you do not...you are creating a bigger defecit. Big defecit is not always good however because your body needs fuel....especially when burning it off exercising...otherwise why not create a massive defecit and just lose weight like…

You said waffle house...I stopped reading there.....now I'm really hungry. Double Scatterd Smothered Covered Chunked is calling my name. I think its like 487 calories and filling.

Great job...and thanks for showing monthly pictures...I bet that is great inspiration for others who may be trying to make this transformation!

Greek Yogurt, any of the brands as long as its flavored....cant do the plain stuff yuck. Pineapple, Honey and strawberry are my fav.

Please explain.

If you are just starting out as a lifter I'd recommend splitting into two phases...upper body and lower body. Warm up with some cardio 5-10 minutes then do upper body and then the following day repeat with lower body being the focus. As far as particular exercises...depends where the loose skin is...typically the best…

Sounds like time for a new computer....because without porn...you'd have a SERIOUS First World Problem

I dont really see a question or anything on this post...so I'm guessing it is just an announcement of your return? :) Welcome back.

As you will probably see here in a few minutes from alot of replies...you should use the mirror and measuring tape as opposed to a scale....use a scale to measure progress if you want...but in the end...its your look you are looking to change, right? Use the same scale, at the same time of the day every day...monitor…

I think alot of people may have surrendered to their weight. I think alot of people on here saying "dont tell them, they know" come from a place of insight because they are doing something about it already...of course you are going to feel that way...that is why you are on this website. I'd be more curious to ask this…

To follow up a bit....Boxing is also usually overlooked. Boxing will get you into great shape and also teach you self defense in the most basic form.

I think the consensus the OP recieved here is that its not appropriate to call out strangers on their weight...which makes sense to me. I am curious though...if you were going to do it...how would you say it? That would be a more interesting thread. Obviously we are going to get some jokers responding...but seriously...how…

I also recommend Krav Maga....typically a Krav Maga center will have fitness classes as well...so if you want to relax and not be so aggressive one day, you can relax with a punching bag class or a full body fitness class. Krav Maga will work you out plus teach you practical defense. Krav is very loosely based on Muay…

Are you looking for self defense or for knowledge of an art? If you are looking for self defense, there are different recommendations of MA that I would recommend as compared to if you are looking for something non-practical like Karate

Probably psychological...but I dont think I would use a PT who was unfit regardless of their degrees and books written. I'd want to say..."wow...is that what you do to look like that? I'm in" My opinion anyway.
