I read a lot of articles and I can say that it's very hard to do both since those two requires the opposites of each other, losing weight requires a "calorie deficit" while building muscles requires an "increased calorie intake" to properly develop the muscles. When trying to loose weight you loose fat AND lean muscle so…

Millie Jackson - Love Quake (https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=dVmBonua7pA) This is more in the lines of "soul" but it's actually very good especially when I'm lifting and she says "I wanna feel the earth move", I could feel like I could move the earth and I get pumped. The message is actually about doing "it" so hard that…

The girl I like which I later found out was gay :'( or bi I dunno all I know is I'm depressed :).

Yes, at 93kg people and I still consider myself fat BUT people who've seen me while I was 109kg definitely knew I looked better today.

I look at before/after photos :). And I have a habit of wearing my larger shirts then immediately taking it off and wearing my smaller clothes from time to time so I could remind myself what I've accomplished.

You could tweak the routine based on your needs :) . You could read this article http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shannon1.htm as a reference for training either one. But at the end of the day, what's most important is exercising your targeted muscle. There are hundreds of exercise variations to target different type of…

Here's mine but it's very hard to explain all of it in this forum so I uploaded my word file containing the schedule, I used it to print the pages and post it on the wall of my room. Seeing as you aren't a beginner, I suggest starting immediately at Week 4's schedule and keep at it for as long as you need.

Sadly, the Philippines didn't have a K-12 education back when I was young. I had 6 years in elementary and 4 years in high school. I also started kindergarten at a young age so I got qualified in entering grade 1 early. As for my profile being deactived... Uhmm I dunno that's weird :o I've made a little table to explain it…

I'm: Age: 19 Weight: 109kg (Highest), 93kg (As of Today), 70kg+ (goal) Height: 5"9 I'm a fourth year college student on my last semester and currently undergoing my thesis. I'm loosing at a steady pace of around 1kg/week. I'm an IT student with a passion for 3d animation and vfx even though I'm really terrible at drawing…

Whoah this is why I don't do cardio, I just eat fine and do some weight training and feel like it's a normal day. I don't feel obligated to do anything because I got used to this routine since I can stick to it and it doesn't really take away too much from me. Maybe that's the lesson here, stick to something you could…

Your skin will contract in time but I'm not really sure it would go all the way especially if it's really stretched out but it will try its best. My advice would be to do some strength training, it would take care of your skin problem PLUS you would look good :)

I know how this feels but luckily my brother was in the army and he has a bunch of weight lifting stuff. As everyone also said, you could try sucking it up and just do what needs to be done but I really understand how hard it is so you can try my suggestion below. You can try saving up and have your own mini gym at home.…

Well when loosing weight you're loosing fat AND muscle, if you're weight training you can either maintain your muscles or increase them really really slightly. Also, the calorie deficit will determine if you the muscles can properly develop so that's why they say that it's hard to build muscles while you're on a deficit.…

I don't do cardio frankly because I think it's boring as heck but I lift weights though but not because I like them but because I am already sacrificing my eating habits to get thinner I also decided to sacrifice my time and effort in toning my body for it to look better. tl;dr I hate cardio and I would prefer to eat less.…

Probably 1,200 same as the next day for 5 months but I drink protein shakes so that's like 1,400+

Thanks! I'm really trying to do everything I can to make myself look presentable and I want my confidence pumped up because I only have this one chance on getting her attention and I would like to look at my best. That's the fun of it :smile: , I'm totally excited on finding out for myself but I still don't have the…

My field of expertise is actually 3d modelling and animation :smile: when I said I was playing, what I was doing was creating still shots in paint and animating them. But you're right! same principles apply regardless of the skill. I really wanted to try and have a relationship while I'm at college since I haven't had a…

Thanks, I'm slowly trying to forget my feelings about her. I gotta be honest it's pretty hard though but I think in time it'll eventually pass. Thanks, I did still had the idea of pursuing her as a friend but I'm afraid I'll just rekindle my feelings. Until all my feelings for her are gone, I guess I'll have to lay low for…

Thanks, yeah my closest friend was not like my other friends, he would regularly say I improved and he's the one I could tell deep stuff too like this. I too got his back when he has troubles. At least I'm thankful for that. This girl was just amazing, I'm the kind of guy who likes girls who are smart and she was the…

My advice for weight loss would be: 1. Take a good front and side picture of yourself (don't tuck your stomach in or push it bigger, just a normal stomach enough to have air go in and out) now take pictures every 1 or 2 weeks and compare it. This is a good practice to keep you going because you're seeing results. 2. Endure…

It's not that I'm discouraging you from exercising because it does have a lot of health benefits but If you really wan't to lose weight it's mostly on your diet since the bmr you're basing off is FOR YOUR DAILY LIVING AND DOESN'T INCLUDE YOUR EXERCISES. So if you're gonna loose a certain amount of calories from exercises,…

Small apple, I don't know but it really satisfies me and it's healthy

I use Protein powder (which is kinda the same since I turn those into shakes). They're mainly used as an additional supplement to fill your daily protein needs.

Thank you everyone for your replies it really helped me a lot in planning my protein intake, best course of action now would be reading articles about which protein powder is best for me. Thank you again

My calorie intake everyday is: Breakfast = Around 500 Lunch = Around 700 Dinner = Around 300 Snack = 100 (2 50 calorie apples after workout and after dinner if I'm still hungry) And I do a bunch of youtube 30 minute exercises that I think burns 200+ calories That all and I'm currently loosing atleast .7kg-1kg a week. I…

I remember I failed almost 6-7 weight loss attempts, that's each year :disappointed: ranging from a week to 2 months. But now I'm on my 4th year college I gathered enough motivation to pursue weight loss and I currently started on the second week of August weighing 109kg and now for the first week of November I currently…

I don't know if Cowhead is available in your country but if it is, you should try one. It looks like this: I currently use the Cowhead Slim (green one) as milk for my cereal since it only has around 39 calories for 100ml and It's fat free OR you could try the Cowhead Lite (light blue one) it has 47 calories for 100ml but…

I get sabotaged by my brother almost everyday, he's currently 60kg+ and he just keeps eating pizzas, fries, sodas and he doesn't even seem to weigh bigger I think it's because he plays basketball almost everyday and have other exercises. I do know that he just needs his munchies but him walking to my room and eating it…

It's kinda sad at my end especially when we hang out with girls and I'm the one who anyone barely talks to. My friends accept me for who I am and I enjoy their company and I know they do mine but I really just feel insecure when we hang out with other people, they barely talk to me even if I try to start a conversation.
