Calorie intake is not as important. Eat until you are full and only eat when you are hungry. As long as your fat is high enough as you become adapted you will naturally start eating less calories as you will be full for longer period of times.

This is the reason for starting with just the bar. It is not only the time to learn the proper form but to train your body on the form. By the time you start getting to the point you are at you have preformed the move so many timess that your body knows through muscle memory how to do the exercise. I started the program…

Depends on your diet needs. If you are trying to follow a low carb diet or if you need to watch your carb intake to help control your sugar because you are diabetic then yes to much protein can work against the benefits of the low carb diet. From the looks of your diary I would say you are not following a diabetic diet nor…

They are like the King of Keto foods. They can be used to replace so many different things. I like to crush them up in the food processer to use as the binder in my Low Carb Meatloaf or the breading on chicken and pork chops.

Couple more photos from my Mud Run. The first one is of a Marine that truley inspired me during this run. He is a 25 year old Marine that is a triple amputee from an IED that hit his caravan. This marine ran both the individual 5k and then later in the afternoon competed with his platoon in the team run.

Haha wasn't trying to make you cry. Keep pushing and next family get together we will have to stage our own boot camp.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It has been a very interesting year to say the least. Looking forward to what the next year brings. Next big challenge is the Marine Core 5K Mud Run on Sept 21. Goal is to complete it in under 40 min shooting for under 36 min.

This. I am on my 3rd time going through the C25K program. All of it has been done on a treadmill. 1st round I did the 9 weeks at walking 3.0 mph jogging 4.0 mph. after finishing it I started back at week 1 walking at 3.5 mph and jogging at 4.5 mph.

Way to go, keep up the good work. I tell my daughter that all the time. Doesn't matter what you do just do something to get moving.

Way to go, keep it up.

make the IMG lowercase inside the [ ] and can get rid of the rest to make it work or use the direct link from photobucket rather than the img link and add your own [img ][/img ] around it (no space between g and ]

Remember motivation is like bathing. It doesn't last and is recommended daily. So don't worry about what has happened before right now and find the motivation to change going forward. Look for new motivation everyday and understand that sometimes what has been motivating you will fade and not work and you will need to find…

Pic on left is highest weight 489, pic on right is when hit 399. Wearing same shirt in both pics, couldn't button it at 489. Last progress pictures I took were at 378, I am currently at 357. Taking new progress pictures every 50lbs so will take new ones at 328 I do stronglifts 5x5 M/W/F and cardio Su/T/Th, eat between…

Keep walking as much as you want to. The walking isn't what is causing you to lose weight. You are not eating enough and that is why you are losing weight. Figure out what your TDEE is and make sure you are eating maintenence calories + your exercise calories to avoid being in a deficit and you will not lose weight.

First off dont use the word can't, you just need to retrain your body to do them properly. Start off by doing body weight box squats. You can use a chair instead of a box. Stand in front of the chair and squat down until your butt touches the chair but don't actually sit down. Both sides of your butt should touch at the…

Congrats to both of you. You look great. Needed to add a / in your closing img to get pictures to post.

At my heaviest 489lbs on the left in Aug 2012. On the right is when I hit 399 wearing the same shirt I couldn't button in the first picure. This is my progress from Feb 18, 2013 to May 6, 2013

Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Yes I am very proud of my wife as well and it definatly makes it easier to shop now that we both are on the same paths. Congrats on maintaining. You have about 3" on me and your current weight is right around where I want to be. 245 lbs is my major goal right now which…

A fight When I get to my major goal of losing 50% of my body weight (245 lbs) I am going to start working out at a local MMA gym to train for a MMA fight.

Congrats, you can really see the change

Stronglifts is designed for every level of lifter from the novice to the experienced so the weights start low for the novice to be able to perfect form before getting to what their real workout weight would be. For someone that is more experienced I would suggest starting at no more than 50% of your current 1 rep max or…

A deload is when you lower the amount of weight you are lifting because you have not completed 5x5 on the lift and continue progressing from there Example Bench is at 100lbs on Mon you do 3x5,1x4,1x3 On Fri you do 4x5, 1x3 On Wed you do 4x5, 1x4 Now since you have stalled 3 consecutive times on the same weight you would…

Congrats you look great
