Write down everything you eat religiously...it will open your eyes, and help you make changes in your diet that will help a bunch. Start a plan with some low intensity cardio - like walking...something that is so easy you can keep it up forever. Come on dude...It's your wedding, buckle down and get busy. Walking an hour a…

I've made drastic differences in my diet since i decided I wanted to be healthier, but i continue to drink 3/4/5/6 cups of coffee with sugar daily. i really like coffee...it tastes good. I tried coffee black, but that seems like punishment rather than enjoyment. I think my fat loss would be quicker if I gave it up, but…

First off, you are pretty close. I don't know about percentages and what not, but I think you are so small that 5-10 lbs of fat loss would make a drastic difference in appearance. I don't know if it's possible in your situation to pack a lunch, but that's what I do at work...once the food is gone - that's it until…

Quit making poor choices. Take a lunch from home, only eat what's in the lunch box.

I used to think I was big and tall...and full of muscles...but I realized I was just a tall fat guy. I'm 5' 11"...but depending on the maker of the clothes I can wear medium or Large...I realize that my shirts were "too short" because so much material got used up covering my big *kitten* belly. People will make whatever…

What's IPOARMp2?

I had a McRib over the holidays...It wasn't quite as delicious at I used to think they were when I ate like a pig...it was still good, but repulsive at the same time. Things in moderation are ok...I hit my lowest weight ever on Sunday. But Moderation doesn't mean once during the day, and once during the night.

Baby steps...baby steps....In September 2011 i was over 250 lbs (I am a 5' 11" man). I didn't use the treadmill because it hurt my knees. So I used the elliptical....I doubt I could last 10 minutes...Today I use it for an hour. i got used to the elliptical and prefer to use it instead of the treadmill, because it burns…

Bro...chicken breasts..flattened out and made into delicious little steaks, or boiled and cut into little cubes and put in a salad. I have the Cheap tub of protein from Walmart...body fortress...honestly, it makes no difference in building muscle. I'd rather eat chicken.

Sounds like you figured out the "secret". Good luck.

Stop weight lifting so much and do some damn cardio.

A smaller body requires less calories...or more exercise and the same calories.

Remember you are in it for the long haul...what is important is the pattern of weight loss over 3 or 6 months, or a year. A week here or there of weight gain is no big deal in the big picture .

F him.

There's a platform to do something called "hyperextensions" which i do at my gym...That really targets the lower back and glute muscles. I also do a lot of bike riding....I know it sounds wrong, but yesterday when i was trying clothes on, i looked at my *kitten*, and I was SHOCKED at how round and tight it has gotten in…

I think cardio is what you need to lose fat. Plain walking should do the trick.

The two BMI charts I looked at have you smack dab in the middle of the "normal" category. I think you are going to have a tough time losing 5lbs in a month. It sounds like you are good where you are.

WELCOME! I had a Fitness 19 membership when I lived in Michigan. It's probably all you need. Right before I turned 40, I took a hard look at myself, and wasn't pleased with the things I saw that were in my power to change...So I changed them. I wish i had been more committed to taking better care of myself 20 years, but…

1 SLICE...just one...Will not derail any sort of long term plan you have...and it might help prevent you from binging during a weak moment.

I was setting the alarm at 3:25AM to be in the gym around 3:40 and out by 5AM, but I've started getting up at 3:15AM to try to be there at 3:30AM because I want to get more weight lifting in. I don't like getting up early, but I like the results. I try to lay out my gym bag and clothes and everything, so that the alarm…

I'd say lighlty active, or better...definetly not sedentary.

I mix 1/2 cup water with some good squirts of Hershey's Lite, and a scoop of Body Fortress Chocolate Whey Protein (From WALMART, baby) in the blender...add 1/2 cup of Dreyer's coffee ice cream, blend...then 1/2 cup of ice, blend, and Drink.

I usually go at 3:30AM during the week...The ones that weren't going to stick with it are long gone.

The best machines or free weights are the ones you will use regularly, without getting discouraged. All of us start with the machines. Do routines that keep you motivated, and changed it up every once in a while to keep things fresshhh.

I used to take pride in my ability to down a beer or 50...I had a gut that looked like I was pregnant with triplet bears. Im 41. It seems like a shed weight in cycles, and after a cycle of losing some weight, my stomach looks a little like a plastic grocery sack with a grapefruit in it...but then over the course of about a…

CONGRATS!:wink:

AGHHHH!!!! The best weight loss secret...after seeing those pics of that ugly dude, I have no appetite for lunch!!!

You lost 2 inches off your waist, three off your stomach...etc. etc. etc....That's progress...those are pretty drastic improvements.

Just have a coffee.

What the second guy said.
