Hi all,
Hoping I could get some feedback and advice from some of you on my predicament. So first off, I really dont care how much I weight, I just want to look half decent naked, lol. Mainly get rid of the belly/lovehandles. I'm male, 5'10" and 198lbs. Back when I was satisfied with my looks I was about 160lbs.
I now have elliptical & treadmill in my house. Looks like I burn much more calories on elliptical then treadmill. The plan that I am setting for myself for the past week and moving forward is to get on elliptical 4 times a week for about 2-2.5 hrs each time. Per the countner on my phone & elliptical, I seem to burn around 1600-2000 calories each time. I also play soccer twice a week but I'm a goalie so I dont move as much as the rest. I'd say 400-500 calories a game? So lets average it out to about 8K calories burned a week.
As far as my diet goes, I'm kinda useless. I have trouble cutting out things like candy or bread. From what I counted, I generally consume between 2200-2500 calories a day and probably more than half those calories are not of the good kind.
I've been cruising at 195ish for a few years now. So seems like this intake keeps me there. Also for the same few years, my work outs have not been near as intensive as what i've described in the first paragraph or existant at all.
So, my predicament.... I have good endurance and I can work out pretty hard and for a lengthy period of time but my diet is almost a lose cause. It is likely to stay close to where it is. If I stick to the excersize plan listed above, how is my outlook slimming down to 180 or dare I say 170lbs?
Thanks in advance for your help!
