As the title says im going tommorow, and probably everyday this week at 4:00 or so, im curious which things should I do to burn the most calories, im currently 193 and im striving to weigh 180 by the end of next month or so. My friend is doing weight lifting but im thinking of hitting up the tredmill for 30 and the bike for 30?

any suggestions anybody, or lifting in the places that work the muscles where my 'fatter' areas are such as where my shoulder blades are and my upper chest/ lower chest?..

thanks,
Tom
 
Weigh your self three times in the day, first thing in the morning, after your last meal and before you hit bed. Then get the average, and that is roughly what you weigh.

There is loads of info on here for weight loss. Look in the weight training and HIIT forums, in the womens weight loss forum and check out the nutrition section.

Also, check out the stickies in the relevant forums.
 
You should focus on your diet the most. Once you nail that, the effects of working out and cardio will shine a lot more. Also, you won't be able to spot reduce fat, you'll have to shed the whole body's fat. When lifting weights, you should hit all of the muscles in the body, whether on a full-body routine or a split routine.

Yeah this week I have been eating less and watching what I eat.. doing cardio for 10 minutes then lifting for the other 40 minutes i'm there. Although i'm not seeing too many results. Yesterday I had a big lunch and wasn't hungry when I went to bed and was basically out active the entire day.
 
Here are a few tips:

1) Schedule your workouts
2) Record, and calculate the number of calories you are taking in daily
Once you determine your maintanence caloric intake, decrease by 500 daily.
3) Keep up the cardio (increase intensity) for a minimum of 5 days/week
4) Increase the intensity of your strength training workouts. (2x per week)
5) Drink water - 1/2 your bodybuilding in oz.
6). Stay consistent!

Why 3 times? The closest you are gonna get to you're real weight is first thing in the morning. The other two weighings would just be that number + whatever you have eaten/drunk during the day.
 
Karky, yes your true weight is when you wake up in the morning, but no one sees you weighing that. Personally, I'd rather know what weight I'm walking around at all day more than knowing what I weigh before breakfast...
