Start eating Eggs, and oatmeal in the morning I don't even care if you keep using sugar in it, but I'd feel weak and tired eating your diet bro.

Dude I just looked at your diary. You need to eat more real food, and supplement less. You're constantly well over 2000 calories but you aren't breaking 200grams of protein. Chicken, Steak, Fish, Turkey, and start double scooping, or scoop and a halfing that protein powder. Look at my diary I'm not perfect, but it can help…

Here's the basics for a 1500 calorie range. 1. Learning to cook great tasting food without oils can save you tons on calories that will be far more filling from other sources. So learn to Bake, boil, and broil. (Oils aren't bad just calorie dense). USE SPICES!!! 2. For breakfast, egg whites (I buy egg white cartons, and…

Just wanted to let you know it's overpriced protein. 1 Scoop is 60 calories, but only 10 grams of protein at $1.33 per serving. Most protein powders are 120 calories and 22-25 grams of protein per scoop. If you buy a 5LB container on MusclePharm protein you could half Scoop it to make it comparable, and end up paying…

3:30am sometimes it's the only way to fit it into a work day. Thankfully lately I've been averaging around 8am-9:30am though.

Way to go! You look amazing! I'm half way to 60lbs down now. Any plans to start lifting?

New Balance, Asics, or Nike are all great.

OMG is anyone else suddenly wanting tootsie rolls?

I want to argue against this soooo bad, but she's right the dress code will be better. Also since you're just starting out you can look into some good dumbbell routines. I think Planet Fitness has at least 75lb dumbbells.

Those body pump classes would be better if the leader had someone else keeping people in proper form.

I like this guys videos, and have implemented a lot of his recommendations, and have been doing better with lifts I struggle with. https://www.youtube.com/user/JDCav24 I like this guy too https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEtMRF1ywKMc4sf3EXYyDzw

Have you thought about prep meals? If you know you already have the food made you'll be less likely to convince yourself to cheat.

Hey OP have you considered the bodybuilding.com misc forum?

In the long term that's true, but in the beginning you actually have the ability to do both. For roughly 6 months keep your protein intake at roughly 1g per 1lb of body weight or more and aim for around 2,000 calories a day. Keep your fat intake over 30grams a day. Find a good PPL program, or run 5x5 Stronglifts with the…

1lb ground anything (turkey, chicken, or beef) 1 large egg, 1TBS Worcester sauce, 2tsp minced garlic, 1/4tsp pepper, 1/2tsp salt and 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs. press into 1/4lbs patties.

I have my gallon jug that came free with the protein order on bodybuilding. I fill it up, and drink it every day, so I'm with yall with the water situation. I notice I retain the most water weight a few days after an intense leg workout. I like it though because once Monday rolls around the scale weight feels like it…

Weight just fluctuates in general. They say weighing in during the morning is the most accurate way to track progress, but that won't always be the lowest weight. Especially after a good sweat, or you know.. restroom breaks. It can be frustrating to focus on the number constantly because it can swing 5-10lbs pretty easily.

Use one scale. It doesn't make a significant difference what type. It just needs to be the same scale every time (for the most part). That way you'll be able to track your progression accurately. Also look into measurements, because the scale lies to your face at times lol.

The entire idea of tracking is to teach you how to make better choices. It's ok not to log. Just be mindful of what you're eating, and how much. I meal prep, but occasionally I want to go out with my family, and have a meal. 1 meal after behaving all week, and continuing to behave the rest of the day is negligible.

Not a recipe, but my favorite seasoning is Weber's Kickin Chicken. If you're really getting burnt out on chicken though try buying bottom round steak in bulk at Sam's Club, or Costco. Cut all the excess fat off and slow cook it for prep meals.

60lbs to go. My cardio is just 20 mins a day 6 days a week, and roughly an hour of lifting 6 days a week, and a diet of chicken, tilapia, and ground turkey for the staple meats. Green beans, broccoli and asparagus for my greens. Brown rice, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes for addition carbs, and egg whites and protein shakes…

I gain all my weight loss back, but the first time I had 128lbs of fat to lose, and this time I started with only 100 to lose at the same weight. Down 20 of that 100 over the last 4 weeks.

Averaging 5lbs a week over the last 4 weeks, but that's the getting back at it pace. It'll taper off at 1-3lbs eventually.

Stay hydrated, and active, and make a meal plan. It helps me knowing what my next 4 days of eating will be in advance.

If you're planning on building muscle I'd honestly keep a 1/2 cup of brown rice, and 1/2 cup of oatmeal to help deliver the protein. Find what works for you though. Nothing is truly a one size fits all.

Maybe your biceps jk lol. I'll admit I believe in training a lot differently, but to each his own. My arm days are usually Bicep-Tricep in one.

Lift weights, walk 30 mins a day (start running when you can) and meal prep. Find a good routine, and stick with it until it becomes your new way of life. Not a diet. Gallon a water a day for me.

I am! Dropped 20lbs in the last 4 weeks. lol

June 14 2017 I'll be 30. I've always promised myself I'd reach my goal before 30. I've built up a 182 LBM over the last 2 years, and I have about 55lbs-62lbs to go depending on how much muscle loss I can prevent on the way down.

He's training a different 14%ish part of his body everyday.
