"I want to lose weight!"

[sk33tr]

the easy way to make it to the end is to find a hot girl to run behind. just stay behind and admire the view on the way to the finish.

Sounds like a plan! Thanks!

Wouldn't it be great to have like some sort of a system which scans the fat in your body and destroys it with lasers? You would lose weight in like 30 seconds. And then another machine which flattens your body because you might have some ''over skin'' left. That will take like another 30 minutes. And then you're like skinny within 1 hour. And then you can like, get fat again and enjoy more food. And then repeat the process every year in January, or like when it's summer.

They way technology is progressing, there might be something like that in our lifetime.

Well...I weighed the other day, & yes I'm a BIG guy...I am under 300. For the first time in a loooong time. I knew & felt like I had lost from both how I felt & how my clothes were fitting.

I've dropped to under 295 now & I'm down 2 pants sizes!

Yeah...feels good.

At the beginning of 2012 I weighed 105kg (around 230 pounds), I am down to a bit over 70ish (around 150 pounds). Next I need to gain some muscle tone as I am just a wee bit gaunt now.

I would have to say no, not only because that wouldn't solve many of the real issues of being fat but because as I have moved to a balanced diet I have actually started enjoying my food more now. Whereas before I would often eat just out of habit and not because I was hungry or was enjoying it.

Protein shakes, Pre-workout supplements + complex carbs = WINNING

I understood...... absolutely none of that. I am going to take my time figuring it all out whilst making sure I maintain my current weight and then in around a month or so I hope to start working on my fitness and tone.

Pre workout supplements get you pumped to workout and lift (my BSN xplode is 250mg of caffeine + other things... A cup of joe is 95mg of caffeine)

Protein shakes (now there will be some debate here and elsewhere on sugars exc.) will help you build muscle while cutting calories.

So for me today (and this is an off day) I will only consume:
1080 calories
24.5 grams of fat
137.5 calories (100 from wheat pasta, 20 from a slice of wheat bread)
87.5 grams of protein

I probably need given exercise I do 2300 of just normal body function and because I workout so much 3000-4000 a day. But I'm trying to get under 9% body fat and while people will debate I'm cutting TOO much, its moving along just fine

So lets just say I am on the low end of exercise 3200 calories if I continue to consume between 1000-1600 my body will be looking for 66% of its caloric requirements elsewhere in my body.

I just added 10lbs to my lifting yesterday so I'm still making gains while doing tons of cutting VERY hard to do.

3000 to 4000 calories a day. I struggle to eat 1700. I shall be looking into what you have mentioned though.

It's a number of factors height weight exercise regimen/ intensity.

Protein shakes, workout supplements, fat burners exc. they need to be used as tools not as crutches or magic beans. Also if you do see something and go wow I'll try that make sure you start light and asses tolerance most of these chemicals while harmless when used correctly can be very potent when used with carelessness or disregard (not that you can od on protein shakes lol).

And when the sirens start up, then you can really burn the calories.

Thank you!i was pretty beat afterwards! It was definitely much tougher than running by yourself.

So, I am coming up on a month since I last worked out due to a hand injury.

Even without exercise, my weight and body fat have maintained. I have slipped a little with some ice cream (always makes a boo-boo feel better, right? ), but other than that I have been pretty good. I also changed from oatmeal or eggs for breakfast to Cheerios since it is easier for me to make in the mornings.

It just goes to show that when your body gets to a point, it can maintain even with little to no exercise (just walking the dog) and a little slipping with the diet.

I am hoping that I can start some cardio in the next 2-3 weeks. I am itching to get moving again.

Hope everyone is doing good with their goals. Its been pretty quiet in this thread.

Hey

I have a question

I am trying to find out how many pushups a 19 year old male (me) should be I able to do.

I find a lot of different answers, 13 and 14 year olds claim that they can do 50 or even more push ups within a minute.

I can do only 40 full push-ups and I've been exercising to do this for months.
So 40 full, good push-up straight, without breaks.

Is this good/normal?

I can hardly believe that the average is 30 or 40. That just can't be right. I am almost sure that the average 19 year old male is unable to do 40 straight push-ups, but maybe I am wrong and underestimating.

the lighter you are the easier the push up comes.. of course children do a ton of pushups.. they weigh like 50-60lbs.. Their is no such thing as what is normal or not for push ups.. if you want to test your strength start doing pull ups
