SW - 304 CW 168 / BF% 12-13%
Goal 155 or <10% BF whichever comes first... I'm hoping the BF% comes first
Thanks for stoppin in!
I've lost 136.4 lbs since 03/05/07
Thats an average of 1.21 lbs per week
Got your attention?
Want to do it?
No bullshit.
Count your calories.
Everything.
Its all in the math.
Log everything as often as possible. I slipped for months at a time, but all in all my logging helps give me perspective and motivation when i need it to reassure me that it works.
Lifestyle change is more than a word, or concept. its a reality. Change your lifestyle to involve more moving, pick up a fun hobby, time will go by much faster than an hour in the gym. and its all about energy expenditure.
Lift weights. track your progress, and make sure you are progressing!
No magic pills, no stupid gimic diet. Eat whatever you want, just stay within your calories. You'll learn to find low calorie stuff that keeps you fuller such as...
Big suprise...
Lean Meats and most Vegetables!
I'd love to help anyone, as kind of paying it forward. feel free to message me
*old intro
Intro:
I've always been overweight as long as i can remember. I've also been into working out most of my life... but the only trouble is I've always been into eating as well. its always been my problem... i do good for so long only to return to my original habits. Im not getting any younger... 26 and over lbs gotta do something now before it gets any harder.
My plan:
im a big fan of logic and math, so im going to adopt the calorie counting method, and of course what im into excercising. its simple right? burn more than you eat. well we'll see.
Many lessons ive learned along the way and the only that always seems to hold true... eat more often.
my current plan which im going to see if it works for me is to have several workouts in a day (within reason, resting when necessary) My hypothesis on this thinking is to cause a calorie defecit multiple times a day... instead of on a daily basis.
we'll see...

Found it searching on google, i find that forums are the best source of information on everything most everythnig else to come out o a search engine is junk. i browsed a little bit and liked the forum so i decided to join.
no stranger to hard workouts, losing weight and getting sooooo close to where i wanna be,
but then i make up an excuse, get lazy, start eating the wrong things, and before i know it im back to where i started.
i attribute most of my weight gain to my peanut butter and jelly sandwich addiction. i've kicked the habit so far started watching what i eat, no soda, trying to eliminate fast food, and just basically be more conciencious of what im putting into my body.
So im back on to my journy, perhaps a good source of information and a group may be what i need to keep me on my path.
One method that i find has been helping me is looking at food labels, and calculating how long of a workout i would need to do to burn those calories
