You should start doing deadlifts and squats.

You ain't lying about that last bit of fat...Usually when I've plateaued in the past, my fix was to change my exercise pattern, which usually meant jacking up the cardio...but I don't really want to do more, because I don't think it would be sustainable long term. Cutting back my calories would probably be the best answer,…

I try not to have crap food in the house, but my old lady always has cupcakes, choclate bars, tortilla chips, cookies in the house. If this crap is on the table for a few days, you come home and dinner's not ready...you bite a tortilla chip, or a cookie...and then one turns into three or four, and then the bag is done. I…

My advice is to stick with it and be patient, broski. This is a marathon, not a 100m dash.

Big *kitten* broad shoulders and a longshoreman's back.

If bro science go you them pecs, then Bro science for the win.

Some people will tell you you can box 1/2 the meal right away, or make healthy choices or whatever, but the bottom line is that eating out so frequently is probably one of the habits you will have to change to see fat loss. When I used to eat fast food, I justified it in my head by saying "Hey...I don't eat fast food THAT…

You would have to get your fat percentage measured with calipers, or take measurements or something.

If you just changed your diet, why not give it a couple weeks to see how it's working, and then decide if you want to alter it?

Dude...your disgusted reaction is a step in a positive reaction. There's nothing you can do about what is already done...So worrying about it isn't going to do anything constructive. Plan your next outing to eat that delicious garbage as a cheat meal when you lose 5 lbs or something. Whatever you do...don't use this as an…

Just go for a nice walk for an hour, and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

I'm a 5' 11" man. Sept 2011 i was around 250 lbs, I'm now around 198lbs. The treadmill bothered my knees, so I did the elliptical, which I still prefer for my indoor cardio workouts. I doubt I lasted 10 minutes at first, i can do a whole hour now. I have the settings hard enough that my shirt and underware are pretty moist…

Make smaller goals, instead of one big one. If you are 272, and you want to get to 185, make your first goal 265 or something like that. If you want to eat better, perhaps a good first goal would be to just accurately record what you eat, then cut down soda to X sodas per week, or something like that. I'm 5' 11"...I always…

Walking.

The elliptical is the main machine I use. But I also walk and bike. The elliptical can get boring after a year's time, as can any piece of cardio equipment. I can't wait for it to warm up a little, and for the sun to be out a little earlier so I can get on my bike some more. I tried all the cardio at the gym, and I found…

Justin Bieber

DJ Assault, and lesser known Detroit Booty music, 80s metal, stuff with a fast beat. I only listen during cardio. When I lift weights, I just concentrate.

Stick with it...you will see more and better results over the course of year. I lost somewhere around 50lbs last year...that is a hell of a lot of weight...I can do pullups now (I had never been able to before), I can ride a bike for 3 hours, and women I don't know come up to me and start conversations...you will love the…

I feel GREAT. I would do it again, and I wish I had paid attention to my health 10 years (or more ago)...

Damn dude...Try cutting back in steps...like maybe regular coffee with lots of sugar, instead of your sugary coffee concoctions, then regular coffee with a regular ammount of sugar.

Skip it...if you aren't a vegetarian you can get gobs of protein from delicious chicken breast. Or fish. I've been making an attempt at lifting weights since april of last year, and I've gone through three tubs of that stuff, and honestly I don't notice any difference. Some of my homies that lift weights talk about…

Noob season is in full effect.

Just do deadlifts and squats and everything will be ok. Lift heavy.

Hmmm, time to give it up, perhaps?

I use the ad blocker in Mozilla Firefox...the ad blocker works really well...I keep hearing about these ads...but I never see them, lol

HELLO! from an ex- 48187 resident. I moved to Los Angeles...It's crowded and expensive, but I rode my bike last week on the bike paths!!! I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to see snow, snow plows, snow shovels, windshield scrapers or road salt again...

All the ladies at work want to know my "secret"...when I tell them I don't eat fast food, I track my calories, and I exercise, they suddenly get a look on their face like they are holding in a painful fart, and then they don't want to hear what I have to say anymore.

That's good man...The scale and tracking my cals has made a big difference for me.

I'm sure all of us think we are unique, and better than everyone else...but several months ago, I realized I looked like everyone else - FAT. I was sick of it, so I did something about it.

Wow, that's terrible. I wish I had a magic pill or something to make things better, but I don't. It sucks that someone so close, is unsupportive, but you are going to have to be strong, and not let this derail your plans. I wouldn't tell him what I'm up to either (I wouldn't tell him I'm dieting). Dig deep inside you to…
