Thanks, I get the " you look so much younger" from so many customers at my restaurant all the time. It's amazing what a shave will do for you:-p

How many calories are you eating a day? Are u doing at least 2 days a week of resistance/strength training? Are you giving yourself 1 rest day? These all play a part. You sound like you need to be eating between 1400-1600 calories a day minimum. Are you hitting those numbers. Really look into what kind of exercise routine…

Totally awesome dude

I agree with Heatherbanke, you need to eat back your exercise calories. You cannot go below 1200 calories a day net, otherwise your body goes into starvation mode, storing everything it can as fat. Just eat back your exercise calories and you will see a difference within a week. Also, at mcguink, a pound of fat and a pound…

I wouldnt stress over it, its actually a good thing to go over once in awhile, it keeps your metabolism guessing and doesnt let it get into a stagnant state. Just eat your calorie goal for the day like normal, making sure to eat back at least 85% of your exercise calories, you will still lose weight I promise

depending on your level of fitness, and what your avg heart rate was, its more than plausible. I have done 900 calories an hour before on non stop bike rides, also i burn an avg of 850 calories an hour on 1 hour circuit cardio/kettlebell training, so I think you may be fine. Best thing is to repeat the exercise pattern…

Great motivation, look for body fat index instead of BMI. BMI is a crazy way of looking at weight, its to genaralized. I weigh in at 244 with 24.5% body fat, so I need to lose about another 20 lbs to be considered healthy male, and 40 lbs of fat to be considered athletic/6 pack build, but according to BMI, they say I…

You look great, dont be nervous, appreciate how you did it, and you now know you can do it all the way to the end. Congrats

Happy Bday, your looking great, keep it up!

Fantastic. You got great results and in a great time frame. I keep telling everyone that by the end of the year, I want to be an underwear model, cause I want to see my abs too. I started at 44% body fat, am now down to 25%, another 10-12% to go! Thanks for the motivation kid

If you do either one of those programs, your calorie count is going to have to go WAY up. When you exercise that heavy, your body needs those calories to fuel it, otherwise it will go into starvation mode and then no weight loss, anger issues, shots are fired, does not end pretty. So make sure you are ready to eat alot…

Awesome momentum bro. Keep it up, and praise to you for serving this country.

Low carb does not necessarily mean no food. I changed my diet to a lower carb intake, I set MFB to be 40/30/30 protein fat carb. Instead of eating white bread, switch to a whole wheat organic. I personally love Ole' Low carb/high fiber whole wheat wraps, 72 calories and chock full of goodies to eat turkey wraps in. As for…

I would recommend doing 3 days of strength training using just body weight exercises such as body squats, pushups, pull ups, lunges and dips. Doing them in reps of 8-12 for circuit training, 3 times. Then on the off days from your weight days, M-W-F, do 15 Min of HIIT. That what I recommend, should get you to build lean…

Squats, straight leg deadlifts with the dumbells as heavy as you can get and still do 5-6 reps for 5 sets only. Inverted rows/pullups will build your back, and Push presses as heavy as you can go and do 5-6 reps for 5 sets. Makes sure you workout with weights 3 times a week, every other day, and rest in between.

Eat back ALL your exercise calories. It may seem counter productive but you will lose weight by eating more calories than you think. Your body is going into starvation mode if your minimum is 1200 and you are burning an extra 300-500 calories, your body needs the 1200 to survive, so if you are eating less than 1200 plus…

Its funny, your belt idea is one way I have looked at waist size. I started out with one belt when I was a size 46, got another belt last month when I was down to size 38, and just cut a new hole in it cause I dont want to buy another one until i get down to size 34. Good goin

Awesome bud, keep it up, you willl hit your goals in no time

Need more info, do you eat properly 85% of the time, and how much do you exercise? Tell us more so we can help

congrats, you look great, and your smile shows the difference in attitude. Keep it up

Congrats and weigh to go!:-)

Hello critiry3 The single best way to lose fat is to do some kind of resistance exercise, either body weight exercises or weight lifting of some kind. Body weight exercise to start with Body squats, push-ups, lunges, pull ups(or inverted rows if you cant do that at first) all will help you start creating lean muscle.…

Damn. Congrats, I have both P90x and Insanity, and have been hesitant to try either one full bore until I feel I am ready to dedicate my workouts to the programs, ,cause I love my Kettlebell/Circuit training I have been doing. But your results have made me contemplate them again, maybe in a month... Congrats, your husband…

I personally noticed that when I cut out alot of my fruits(especially bananas dammit) out of my protein shakes, I started losing a steadier amount of weight. I now limit myself to blueberries mixed into my shakes, and either an apple-applesauce or pear after my lunch, and cut out the fruits in the evening. I started…

My rest days are Fri/Sun. I do Circuit Training M/W/St and I do Weight Training TU/Th/St. Friday is my busiest day of work(I own a pizzeria) so after 4 days of non stop exercise, my Friday is my rest from regular exercise even though I still move around a bit. Saturdays are my Heavy days of lifting,so between that and an…

I also bought the Skogg System, and in the last month have dropped nearly 12 pounds. Fantastic DVD set for at home. I also own Art of Strength series Providence and Newport, which are a more advanced kettlbell workout with15 2 minute rounds with 1 minute rest intervals. Very tough. I found a Punch gym(an affiliate gym of…

I started doing Kettlebell workouts almost exclusively for my major weight training days, and I will tell you the results are nothing short of spectacular. I have not seen Bob's video yet but I ordered them just to see what he does. I have been using the Skogg System by Michael Skogg and Art of Strength Providence and…
