this is an awesome thread Big Dawg....you have definitely inspired me to try this same type of routine to try and lose weight...I am short...5'4'....weighed myself yesterday at 252 lbs...strong and bulky, but I have a pot belly....I want to lose ideally about 52 lbs and get down to about 200.....I am going to try and do this by May 1....the last month and a half I have spent eliminating all soda and limiting sweets....lots of salads and fruit.....and I have begun to lift more.....now I want to beegin phase two and start my cardio program on Monday feb 16th....may do like you and do two sessions per day or just one in the morning on an empty stomach....I'll post my progress here as well.....Thanks for giving me some inspiration!!!
Good luck man.....will be interesting to see your progress.I just finished dieting (lost 40lbs) so i can relate, although i dieted a more traditional way. Anyway, good luck, at least the $1000 will keep you motivated.
238.6lbs....damn only lost 1.5lbs.....busted my ass on the treadmill everday to.Whats even worse is a very good friend of mine is getting married sunday.tons of food and an open bar.I'm saying screw it I'm gettin drunk and eating my ass off.maybe it will help my slowing metabolism.but if it doesn't oh well.got two weeks left and will hit it hard but I'm takin the weekend off completely
A cheat meal may be just what you need! Keep it high in carbs (like alcohol ) and low in fats if you can. And then hit it hard for the last two weeks!
I'm starting my cardio tomorrow..very excited....I'll try to do 90 minutes a day in either one or two sessions....depends on how much time I have....how's it going so far?..have you had any increase or decrease in appetite?...craving sweets?.....do you feel more energetic or less?....what am I in for?
ha ha. I thought you were starting your cardio a week ago bud?Anyways.the first 2-3 weeks was worse than the last 3 weeks as far as getting used to the diet.I never crave sweets anyway lucky in that regards.
you are right to laugh at me..I was supposed to start last week but I kept putting it off..LOL..now I feel I am REALLY psychologically prepared for cardio and I will definitely start tomorrow....gotta do this....this belly is really annoying and it throws off my physique big time
I got a TV directly in front of my treadmill I sometimes watch an entire movie while hitting the cardio.the key is to entertain your mind. get your mind off of doing hours of cardio every day yet your still doing it.
Thanks, Wny. I jsut bought the same product at 24 Hours mainly because it was 30% the original price. Still cost about $50 though. Will be using it starting today and will let ya know what I think.
Still haven't started my cardio yet..I'm such a puss!
not that anyone gives a rats ass.but I lost 38lbs(229 bodyweight).didn't win no $.and in all honesty probably only lost around 30 actual pounds.as I fasted the last day and a half before final weigh in..weigh 236lbs as of today.my goal.lose 2lbs per week.with an overall goal of 200lbs bodyweight.if I successfully lose the 2lbs/week that puts me at my goal on July 14th.wish me luck I'll need it.
Well you've done good so far! Are you still planning on doing all cardio to get down to 200? You might benefit from switching things up and getting some resistance training in at this point.
well done dawg. that can't have been easy facing that every day. good weight lost.are you using eca ? perhaps you should or a few winny tabs ?
thanks rip.yea I'll defiantly be switching it up.I've hit the weights the last three days(lost some strength) and jumped back on the creatine.so I'm sure my weight will go up a little more initially.I'm taking the week off from cardio and will start next Monday 45 min/4-5 times per week and see were that gets me over the next few weeks.then adjust from there.no panda.I'm natural.I did use a over the counter fat burner 4 a couple weeks but I think most of them are a joke.
What!?...what have you been doin man
Always making excuses as to why I can't do it....I lift regularly but hate running..I swear to you I will start tomorrow..!!!!!!
you lost 38lbs in 8 weeks and didnt win ?
