hey guys, i usually visit the weight loss forum, but i recently found a link to this forum. i like the advice that people give here. i'm 21, about 5' 9", large frame, and a couple weeks ago i was 190. i've been stuck at 190 for the past 2 months or so, but i feel that i've been making some progress over the past 2 weeks, don't know when I'll be able to weigh myself next. I do cardio 2-3x a week (bike for an hour, or jog for 30-50 minutes) and a full body work out 2x a week (i don't have access to a gym at the moment, but I have some free weights).

Just a little bit about my past, I've always been fairly active, and I've always been fat. My highest was around 230. About 3 years ago I was 218, last summer I was 208. January I was 200 when I joined the Body Transformation contest. I lost 10 lbs but plateaued hard. My plan is to drop to 180 or 175 before August.

Welcome to the forum!

I want to "engrain" this thought process in your head, as the responses to your thread progresses:

I am continually "stoned" with endorphines, baby! I dont give my body a choice! This ROCKS! :)

And, you are too!

Why? HA!

The heart and soul of diet and fitness: (IMO)


Some new-persons-to-diet-and-weight-training (even the ones training and dieting for long periods) miss a critical fact that there is a bottom or an end, when things stay the same (the body adapts--does it have a choice?); the simultaneous growth and loss will cease, or fat loss or muscle growth with stop, and one will eventually have to embrace and/or tweak the laws of energy balance and deal effectively with the body's functional adaptability (hopefully with a thorough understanding on the power of calorie manipulation and exercise manipulation), for further positive progression. IMO

As you gain knowledge of diet and fitness training, I want you to remember one thing: Functional Adaptability.

This is my term.

The body is not a dumb, dumb, through its very design intention and precise and refined adaption capability. It adapts and overcomes, and likewise, you will be "required" to adapt and overcome. You remember this and apply knowledge of diet and fitness, and you will be successful.


Speaking for me, this is the heart and soul of my personal success. I have fought "with" this design intention many times and got mad at my body many times; however, the mind can be the determining factor in "properly" deciphering bodily feedback.

All bodily feed back is good (IMO), good or bad, one just needs to find the one that works. And, the body tells you one way or the other.


HEHHEHE :)

"Stay hungry..........for your goals, baby!" It will not let you down!

Buh, hah, ha.............You have to move, baby! Move and groove! YES!

Being stoned is COOL!


ROCK ON!

Ps. I will post more in just a few minutes.........
