Mobility might have been the wrong word. I'm not unable to tie my shoes or have to ride a scooter around, but from a muscle/tendons/joints perspective, I'm just incredibly inflexible. Squat form is horrible and the like. Stove up might be a good phrase.

That's the important bit. It's not so much that the calories represent some magical, arbitrary number that you have to hit, but it's what goes into those calories, specifically in the form of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. Get your essentials of them, and then you can start to worry about your caloric target if…

As a fellow giant fat-*kitten* 425 guy, I'll say this: your - our - biggest battle will be in the kitchen (and avoiding the fast food drive thru line). You can work up to high intensity interval training and full body weight complexes, but they still won't come near to the effect eating right and counting calories will do…

I've found that weighing myself daily really helps me keep my health and weight loss efforts in the front of my mind. So, I'd say there's nothing wrong with it. That said, the human body can be a funny thing, and it's not particularly odd for weight to fluctuate based on when you last ate, what you ate, and how much water…

Dude, you're going to get tired. That's the whole damn point.

Yo dog owners, I'm really happy for y'all, I'mma let y'all finish but Boxers are the best dogs of all time... the best dogs of all time!

I think Easter works just fine, BUT I'd set some check ins between now and then, especially if you're just starting out. It's easy to get disappointed or distracted along the way. So, pick out two of three dates between today and Easter, too, as goals.

Between 1800-2200 more than likely. The nice thing about the calorie counting tools here is it will allow you to see just what you're eating and how that effects your weigh-ins. So, even if you have to ballpark your figures at first, as you go on, you'll able to get a better and better idea of how many calories you need to…

Hell no, it's not the max. Three pounds a week ain't nothing, and it's not going to do you any harm, especially in the short term. Go kick some *kitten*, man.

I'm one of the couple of SUPER heavyweights around here. I'm 30, 6'4", and topped out at 458.6lbs a few weeks ago. I've got 220 pounds total I'd like to lose to begin with. That will take me down to 240, and I'll go from there. It's doable. I don't care if you're up in the 4's like me or just have thirty pounds to drop.…

I went from 440 to 295 in about a year and a half in '08-'09 with the first hundred coming in ten months (I then went through some radical life changes and then plumb got lazy and have spent the last five years gaining it all back). All just by counting calories, switching to diet soda, and getting to the gym occasionally.…

Effing A, man, some 18yo girl lifting heavy isn't going to turn into the She-Hulk. People need to get over this.

I agree on both counts. Have a small bite for breakfast, then enjoy your dinner. That said, it's really, really easy to blow past 1200 kCals in a hurry at an Italian restaurant (and not to mention that 1200 a day seems really really low anyway).

What's going on, party people? I'm looking down the barrel of a goal of almost 220lbs of fat loss. I topped out close to 460lbs and want to make it down to 240lbs. My first goal, though? I'm going to get down into the three-hundreds, stat. If you need some motivation and encouragement, feel free to hit me up. You can do…

Your weight here is the important factor, I'd say. If you were in deployment shape and then gained your sixty pounds (so, say you're up around the 240-260 range), then getting rid of it in three to five months is going to be a lot of exceptionally hard work and discipline. Now, if you're some super fatass like myself (in…

Good grief. I'm about as new as they come here, and even I could have told you this thread was going to be a trainwreck.
