Things I've heard/rumors/wives tales/questions

1: You can shop at any grocery store and go around the perimeter to get all you need (fruits, veggies, meats, etc..) the processed crap is in the aisles.
2: Eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince, dinner like a pauper
3: Cardio before weights, weights before cardio??
4: Work out a.m., work out p.m.


I too am trying to lose the pounds...
1st world problems!

So this morning, I gave into temptation and decided to indulge on some slightly less healthy foods because they looked too delicious. Not a second after the first bite, a box of oatmeal randomly falls down near me. I was the only person in the kitchen, and the windows were closed. 0_o

It's a sign!

3. I have always heard weights before cardio.

4. Work out in the a.m. jump starts your metabolism but everyone is different and working out schedules are best suited for whatever is most convenient for you.

True about the 30 thing, 5 years ago I was down to 190, now after 30 i've bloomed to 268, I really don't feel like going to the gym after work because I work my ass off at work.

Drink a lot of beer and you will be there in no time

Haha I don't drink or smoke. A lot of people ask me why and I really have no answer for them. I also run like 4-5 miles a day and try to bike everyday. I just need to hit a weight room

I'm making egg muffins this morning. They are amazing to have if you're a convenience-food person and just need to grab something and go!

Get a big muffin tin and spray it with nunstick
mix up some eggs like you're going to make an omelet
Dice and shred up some stuff (this morning it's spinach and mushrooms and tomatoes)
Toss it in the bottom of the muffin tins
Add just enough egg mix to get it all wet
Bake it at 350 till the egg is done!

They freeze well and if you put them in individual baggies in the freezer you can chuck one in the microwave before you hit the shower and then grab it as you run out the door!

I made bite sized ones for a potluck too.

For real starting the day off with protein helps you not feel like feeding your face all day long. This is my am protein most days.

Keep it going guys!

Congrats to everyone on seeing results! Losing weight is by no means an easy task.

I started my weight loss "journey" on July 31st, of last year. I was 6'1 and 260lbs. Roughly 26% body fat.

December, 4 months later, I reached my goal weight of 190lbs. There is no secret or no magic shake/pill for me. I did it buy calorie intake, watching what I ate, and good old fashioned excercise. I sit currently at 195lbs "ish", as I am trying to put back on some muscle, and about 16% body fat.

You guys will be amazed at how fast the weight will come off once you get going. Not to mention how much better you will feel and how much more energy you will have.


I went from not being able to run more than 5 min without almost passing out, to now running 1.25 miles a day.

I did have to spend more money on a whole new wardorbe, but I figured that was a pretty good reason to. Good luck to everyone and keep it going!

BTW, I have some befor and after pictures. I think we could add some here for everyone to post as well to see the progress!

I was 226 the first week of march and I'm sitting around 207 now, like bmason my goal is 190, once I can maintain 190 I plan on 180-185 being my standard weight goal. I stopped eating fast food for lunch every day and I'm in the second round of Insanity right now.

Congrats dude! And Insanity is NO JOKE. I have never been that sore in my life as I was after Insanity.

 

[rdss]

Thanks, I've gotten use to month one, month two is still an @ss kicker. Insanity T25 will release next month and I plan on giving that a shot when I deploy in August. I should be able to get through my third cycle before I leave.

I heard from a friend that there's an (iOS) app called "Lose It!" that's fairly helpful with getting back into shape/losing weight.

Just downloaded it. Let's see if it helps with my calorie management at all. haha
