Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Double Choclate...close the thread... I might go have another two scoops today because YOLO.

WASSUP BIG CHIEF. I'm 5' 11". At the start of my weight loss journey I was around 250ish. I am now down to about 190-195. I am happy with the fat I carry, except, I still have a belly, dammit. It's not that much, but it won't go away. i've currently switched gears recently and i am working on building muscle while not…

YEAH, like the other dude said without a before shot, it's impossible to say...but i'll be honest and say you have a bit more fat loss to work on.

Stuff with up tempo beats. Early 80's late disco / R&B and detroit techno work for me. I have tried heavy metal, but it gets me all worked up into a rage and then I start thinking about busting things.

1-Switch from white bread to whole wheat (after a few weeks it doesnt taste like cardboard anymore) 2-If you drink soda, stop. 3-if you drink beer / alcohol, stop. 4-if you drink orange juice, stop. 5 DRink only water or milk (if you are into that sort of thing) Do only one of the first 4 things and I GUARANTEE you will…

I looked once, and it was pretty damn high...I eat lots of turkey sausage and processed meats for lunch out of convinience. BUT...a big BUT is that I exercise like a beast. I can tell when I've eaten a lot of salt because the following day on the elliptical I will the machine completely, 100% covered in sweat. I had all my…

F her, and F all the haters...do it for yourself...who the hell cares what other people think of you, as long as you are happy with yourself. I've been losing weight for almost two years, and heard all the BS, and people asking me if I had cancer, if i was sick, etc. etc. etc. I get a kick out of listening to fat people…

If you are still losing weight, stick with your cheat day. Eventually you will have to stop, or jack up your cardio.

YEP...when I push my muscles, I am hongry the whole damn day, and usually end up eating a lot of chicken or steak.

Patience grasshopper. Big changes take time. Almost all of reach plateaus we can't bust through, or gain weight back, or don't lose as fast as we think we should, etc.

DAMNIT...one day i want to put up a post that gets this much traction.

What chatogal said.

So plan a pizza once a month or so...

If you have the attitude that nothing will work, and that you are doomed to failure, you will fail. You had a minor setback, if you work at it, you will recover. I don't like that stupid thigh machine anyway...I don't think it does any good, and I feel silly using it.

Dude, your problems are bigger than we can help you with here. I don't know if your mom is around, and if you have a relationship with her, but when I got divorced ( the lowest point ever) i started by talking to her. Please reach out to someone soon.

It's normal to be messed up for a minute. At least make a deal with yourself to track your food intake, so you know what you are doing.

You're going to get SOME chalk taste with any protein powder. My favorite is optimum nutrition double choclate. It's at least the 6th different brand / flavor I've tried. There are less calories and more protein per scoop than the comptetion, so the slitly higher price is worth it, in my opinion.

You are on your way. Last year my first 30 mile ride took like 3.5 hours. Today I can knock it out in about 2 hours. After the first ride, i couldn't stand up and walk for an hour after the ride, then i cramped and was stiff for days. I rarely get cramps now. CONGRATULATIONS, stick with it, you will love it.

Too much protein made me constipated. I used to use the cheap *kitten* six star from walmart...that didnt help.

WAIT...With the 2yo on your back you will get into shape faster.

OPtimum Nutrition Double Choclate.../close thread. NOTHING is better.

You have to make a change for life, not be on a 'hardcore diet'. Make small changes that you will hardly notice.

This thread is worthless without pics.:wink:

I don't follow any of his plans, but i look at his website and subscribe to his youtube channel, I think he has a lot of great advice.

My pet peeve about people in the gym, is people in the gym with pet peeves about people in the gym.:love:

180 miles on my bike in May...with two more days left in the month.. I'm going to aim for 200 miles in June.

I bike ride a lot. My muscles have gotten a lot stronger in the past year, so i don't cramp as much. In the winter exposed skin seemed to make me cramp easier. So I covered up. Staying hydrated with water and gatorade helps too. My 40 mile long bike rides are two 20oz gatorade affairs.

I like the idea of putting glass tiles on the wall. I've lost no less than 60lbs of fat, and i have some semblance of a manly physique now...I love looking at myself in the mirror...this is all the motivation you are going to need.

I used to do 330am, now im doing 3AM, because I wasn't getting enought weight lifting in...after losing 60lbs of fat, I wanna get swoll. I wasn't making progress hittin chest once a week, so now it's 2x, with lots of cardio to get at the remamaing stubborn fat cells.
