Once you hit 45...maybe 40...we will begin to add in some intense...ramping up the intensity as you become attuned to it...and you could possibly be down 75 by Christmas. :naughty:

I dont blame you...running in snow isnt fun. There shouldn't be anything you can't do in the house.
Ill gladly take the last few remaining pounds from you. Trying to get back up to the 185 mark from 160ish
Congrats man. I have been trying to get to a 10% body fat since jan 09. I was 36%. I have been stuck at 13.5% since May. It is very hard to stay on the wagon.
throw some pounds this way lol...my goal is to run low low 12s n/a
So share the secret..I need to loose 40lbs.
brad
its simple really
take in like 1200 calories a day.. no fried foods, no sodas.. no beer.. no fast foods..
losts of multigrain fiber..
Lots of water, eat less, sweat more.
yeah water is big!! keeps you from being hungry
Keep it up man ive lost a total of 60 pound, ive been on this diet/exercising for 6 months.
I dont think I can do 1200 clories..I've tried it and it just wasn't enough..I had to stick with 2000...Congrats on the weight lossQuote:

If you take in smaller amounts of energy more often and your body uses more energy than is taken in each time you're ending up with a negative caloric intake...that results in weight loss.Quote:

I ate everything I could last winter...gained 30lbs in 3 months, was SUPER stoked. Quit eating like a pig once summer hit, and lost it all in like 6 weeks :( (but my lifts only went down like 10lbs :) ). Getting ready to start putting the pounds back on in a couple weeks.
I guess this thread means I should stop dragging mike out for food lol.
me loves food..
I'm trying to get motivated again...I hate how i feel and look
get a blood test and see your doc's true concern that yer gonna die soon and will motivate you.. trust me i know :(
Had that exact thing happen to me. A young surgen told me I was already dieing it was just a matter of time.
Lost 70lbs in just about a year. 1200 cals is a hard number for me, and my body hurt all the time. I also was working out a 8 times a week. So took the cal. up a bit felt better and a whole lot stronger now. I noticed when the cal count and work out match up pretty good, the strength side of things really starts to come into play. Gained a few back and need to hit hard again, reading this thread I think I have found a new lite. thanks for sharing.
About those wings, if you havent had anything like that in awhile its going to show you just how bad that stuff is. I feel like crap when I eat stuff like I use to regularly.
Congrads on the weight loss, its very cool to make new holes in old belts to make them fit. :)
i try to gain weight, krispy creme usually helps but i just spend so much time logging, landscaping or hauling stuff i can't keep any weight at all on.
how many of y'all have added raw apple cider vinegar to your diets to help cleanse your body of poisons? 2 tablespoons per 8 ounce glass three times daily, drink normally, no guzzling. A guy i work with lowered his cholesterol 60 points in 60 days. Not a bad ROI IMO.
157 atm up from 135 in January, 9% fat now. gotta be 145.9 by december 11th
Thats pretty impressive? What roids have you been on? :lol:Quote:

And roids normally don't help you lose BF %...but if anyone here is infact on them...shoot me a PM haha.
The best shape Ive ever been in I weighed in at about 177. I did a hydrostatic body fat test (the most accurate at determining body fat) and it came in at 5.8%. That was also the strongest I have ever been...max squat was 655lbs and on the bench was repping with 330lbs.Quote:

When I was a freshman/sophmore I gained weight faster than that. Two huge spoons of peanut butter before bed will do it.Quote:
