  • Getting my endurance up. The Zombie apocalypse is coming closer and I want to be able to run at atleast 8mph for 40minutes at 2.5% incline 'cus I figure that's giving me enough time and speed to get away from rampaging brain eaters :)

  • During the day, I eat when I'm hungry and don't eat if I'm not. When I eat dinner, I take how much I think I'm going to need and then don't take seconds. Am not counting calories, but in the last month, I've lost 1.5 inches off both my waist and hips. Ofcourse, I'm terrified I'm losing muscle mass, but will start…

  • I might be doing IE 'cus I just eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. I've been doing this for the last 1.5months - don't think it's made a real difference for me. The big factor was changing what I ate: instead of candy, I ate carrots or peas for snacks. Also cut down on the amount of rice significantly. Initially,…

  • Thanks - I will keep up with this. 22.6% body fat - that's a start. Don't have a goal, but I guess if I keep up with it, I'll at least know if the # is moving the right direction or the wrong direction.

  • I'm between 5'7 and 5'8, which is a lot shorter than you & my goal is 130lbs. I have very wide shoulders so might be big-boned. Even though your goal weight sounds low to me, if your doctor recommended it, it's probably healthy for you.
    in What's your goal weight at 5'9" Comment by flame_retardant February 2014
  • Workout in the evening if you can. About 2hrs after dinner. That way, once you get back from the workout you will be too exhausted to eat. For me, Dinner is at around 7pm. After that, I don't eat because I know I will want to go the gym, but I go at around 11pm. So in the middle, if I am craving something sweet, I will…

  • Hi guys, Thanks for the reply :-) I am actually worried I have lost muscle mass in my 3lb weight loss cus I do a lot of cardio, but not enough strength training to balance it out. I wanted to lose 2lbs/month or thereabouts cus then it would be fat loss. So guess I have to add more strength training, but don't know where to…
