What are you doing as far as eating? Are you eating a lot of junk food? You can lose a lot of weight simply by eating better. ---

If you need any help let me know. As far as tips for those of you who are wondering muscle growth is the most effective way because of two things. One - you will burn calories while doing physical excersize such as muscle building. Two - once you’ve got the muscle mass it will burn calories every day just to support itself, allowing you to eat just to maintain the same weight. ---

Restaraunt food isn’t very healthy either. Record your diet for a couple of weeks and see what your taking in. Run a couple days during the week to get you started if you haven’t excerised in a while. ---

Chilis… should be out of business. Even their salads have about 1500 calories on average. INSANITY. Even when you think you’re eating healthy, chances are you really aren’t. You would be better off eating the 700 calorie better tasting bacon cheese burger. Recording what I’ve been eating is one of the best things that I have ever done. It is really helping me stay on track. Second thing I have really noticed is that I drink about 4 bottles of water a day at work. It’s like an addiction. Once I started drinking water, my body just craves it constantly. (Diabetes doesn’t help) But I am always thirsty. And already the water weight is just dropping like crazy. :benny ---

Ok…I have been the same svelte 170 lbs since h.s., I eat all the time, sugar like it was my job and I drink soda like it’s water…oh wait it is. Granted I walk like 30 miles a day and track my car almost every weekend; and I force myself to do 50-60 push-ups and 500 sit ups a day. moral:eat smaller portions and more often so your body doesn’t store fat because it thinks your getting ready to hibernate, and get off your asses and do something. In fact don’t stop moving till your ready for bed, then you’ll be a skinny bastid like myself. :nana ---

Now I dont even want a soda at all. I usually drink water or milk and sometimes juice and beer (in moderation).
