umm, ok…

some people have an interest in keeping their body as well, so what is wrong a thread about nutrition and fitness?? i do personal training, and compete as a powerlifter, and am getting to do a all natural bodybuilding show. some people have lost a lot of weight, and its good to hear how everyone did it. what good is having a nice car if you die because your not healthy. comments like that get to me because you stereotype the thread. i posted a lot about supplements, how to get stronger, bigger, lose weight etc…it just isn’t about people typing in their weight loss. im sure your in perfect shape and can make comments like that though…btw…if you didnt pick up on the sarcasm yet towards your post, im calling you a di\_kwipe

simple, quit drinking beer…do about 30-45 minutes of cardio per day and clean up your diet.

Easier said than done to stop drinking beer. Def. takes dedication and hard work. Diet is a major player in losing weight.

be careful when doing weighted crunches/ab exersises…abs are muscles and will grow (thicker/wider waist)…try hitting them from different angles when you feel your no getting enough…dont increse the weight

if it is easier said then done, then it is a severe drinking problem. if a person can quit drinking, it will cut out a lot of unneeded calories. you dont have to go on a crazy diet, im on one now, and i hate it. just switch all white carbs to whole grain, mustard instead of mayo, egg whites instaed of whole eggs, little things like that. do cardio, and the weight should come off.

i went from 210 to 171 in a month and a half my senior year of high school for wrestling…if you want to loose weight its easy…  
wake up at 5…run 2 miles  
small breakfast  
small lunch  
hardcore cardio for 2 hours  
lift for an hour  
eat a small dinner  
run 2 miles  
go to bed  
no pop, chocolate, milk, pizza, pasta, bread, any fried foods, anything high in saturated fat, anything with alot of sugar

so like I said…real easy (sarcasm)  
and it really stays off (sarcasm)…after wrestling season i put all that weight right back on plus 5 pounds in about a year

but now i’m running about 4 miles 5 days a week and gonna start lifting and watching what i eat when i get back to school  
my goal is about 180 by mid march

right now i weigh around 255lbs, with a 36 inch waist. im trying to get down to 225lbs for my bodybuilding weight, and around a 32-30 inch waist. i am only eating 3 meals per day, but i also am drinking 7-8 protein shakes per day.  
my total calorie intake is less then 3500 calories, and my protein is around 500 grams per day. carbs are very low, and my only fat comes from my protein shakes, so total fat is less then 20 grams per day. it is hard because i don’t have a lot of bodyfat to lose, but i need to lose some anyway, but the hard part is keeping my size, i don’t want to lose weight if i lose alot of size. so im tryin to lose only 1 lb per week…

Not healthy at all and I am willing to bet a lot of the weight you lost was lean body mass. 40 lbs in a month and a 1/2 is averaging close to 7 lbs per week. 7lbs per month is pushing it if you are trying to do it healthy and keep LBM (depending on where the person is starting from). So I wouldn’t really put much weight to the “advice” is that is what you are trying to give.

Yeah that’s good you are pretty much healed up. But considering you are just getting back I would take it easy…it would suck to re-injure it again.

Got any ideas on stuff I can drink during the day? I’m getting tired of drinking water at work and I def. don’t wanna drink pop. I sti at a desk all day and doing so has caused me to gain about 35 lbs in the 2.5 yrs I’ve worked here between drinking pop/eating unhealthy food/etc.

As far as food, this week I’m trying to do a semi-cleanse, eating mainly fresh fruits and vegetables, then next week I’m gonna try and just eat lean meats and beans, try to keep my diet consistent to that, cut out the Beer and wings and pizza for a while.

I’ve been drinking some of those Naked all natural drinks, but they’re like $4 each, and Arizona green tea once in a while.
