The best way to start is just by walking. Walking a lot, as much as possible. Make sure you have comfortable shoes :)

Today was a pull day. So I did rows, curls, pull ups, and hanging leg raises. 40 minutes, super set with some extra curls at the end. This evening I will spend an hour on the bike.

Oh yeah I'm seeing results, I have a long way to go I think though. My ultimate goal is visible abs. So I probably have another 15 or 20 pounds to lose.

Pick up some protein powder. Drink a serving with every meal, before and after weight lifting. You win!

Eat moar!!

I was really close. I lost 9.6 pounds. Anyway, I'm getting back into it. Today I mixed it up a little with a shoulder work out. Shoulder press Lateral raises Front raises Hanging leg raises Weighted sit-ups Then I did 65 minutes on the bike for 1000 calories. Carl, thanks for starting the new thread.

Carl! You beat me to it!

For a long time I ate almost no carbs, I don't know if I was "keto" or not, but with being gluten intolerant and with beans just ruining my digestive tract, carbs just didn't fit in my diet very well. In my experience, I needed to up the carbs slowly or my energy levels were low and I felt like garbage especially during…

Part of my quality time is cooking my kids. They're too little for any real help, but they like it. 5 ingredient recipes Cashew chicken Chicken Cashews Peppers Onion Rice Tamale pie Ground beef Peppers Salsa Cornbread (could be mix if your into that) Bacon and eggs Bacon and eggs :)

It's okay. I didn't lose 10 either. Not unless I can lose a pound today, no biggie. June is another month.

9 pounds down. Dangled Memorial Day weekend ruined my goal.

Today was ridiculous. My daughter got up at 4 am with some very nice vomiting. So I've been up since then, anyway for whatever reason my appetite has been huge all day. I hit my calorie goal before 10am. I did a little bit of weight training today, but my back is still sore from last workout so it was only 10 minutes. Now…

Bacon. No really. Bacon. If I run out at my house, heads are gonna role.

Yep. Sleep is huge. Coffee is not a replacement. It's okay though, sometimes you just have to make due with the sleep you get. I only got 4 hours last night due to a sick little girl :(

Actually. Yes coffee. Or if you can't drink a pot in the morning before your workout, then you should work out in the afternoon. Also, Bananas are not really all that high in potassium. 8 a day will get you there, but that's too much for me personally. http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php

COFFEE. :D I'm sorry for not being more helpful.

oh yeah. Their cheese cake is no joke. I had the orange chicken. The worst part? It's not every very good. :/ But it's the danged bread that catches up with you. "more bread?" "oh sure"

I didn't really work out this weekend. And I felt terrible. That probably has more to do with the terrible diet that comes when I'm in vacation. Anyway Yesterday was pull day so I did lots of rows and curls, hanging leg raises and 30 minutes on the bike. Today was push day so I did bench press, skull crushers, flys and…

My sister has been in town which means lots of beer and junk food. My back has been telling me to take it easy too so I took a few days off. I did ride the bike for 75 minutes the other day but aside from walking around museums and such I haven't done anything else. Today I'm getting tattooed all day long but this evening…

My sister is in town. No workout today. Pizza instead :)

I have not bulked. I'm still cutting and for the first time in my life. But it seems to me that your answered your own question. If your still losing fat your not bulking. I know I'd have a hard time with it after working so hard to limit my intake, but it sounds like you need to eat more.

Yep. There's nothing wrong with a pound a week, doing great.

The real purpose of lifting while cutting is to maintain your muscle. So if you're serious about losing weight and still being able to pick up heavy things all day, lift heavy, do lots of cardio and hit your macros. Just so you know, "toning" is a myth. Your cant target body fat loss. You're either cutting bulking or…

Aha, But did you fry the bread in bacon grease?

Coconut oil is great too. My 3 year old daughter eats it on her toast or just straight out of the jar.

Bacon. Bacon grease. Olive oil. Butter. Cream. Fatty meats. Egg yokes. This is where I get my fats from. Seriously. Eat some bacon. Like a blt with 8 pieces of bacon fried in the bacon grease. It's good for you :)

Dang Carl. Now that's a meal! Just call it a refeed like I do. :)
