Well now I'm back looking for some help on loosing the weight. Little background on myself. When I graduated high school 7 years ago i was at 300lbs. About a year out of high school I started loosing weight just by not having the time to eat as much as what I was and going to college I didn't have much money for food. Anyways 1 thing lead to another and I basically stopped eating or ate very little through out a week i.e 2 or 3 times a week and ended up getting down to 130-140lbs. A 6ft tall 22 year old male with my build at 130lbs resembles a skeleton.

That's when I found this forum to help get me started in lifting. At the time I hated eating. I figured food was what made me 300lbs and I wasn't and WILL NOT go back to that weight. I lifted and ran regularly for about 12 to 14 months and just basically got bored with it. I wasn't seeing results but was staying where I wanted to be at around 175 180lbs and all but stopped going to the rec center.

Over the last 6 months to a year I have sadly gotten up to around 200lbs. I don't like it at all. My jeans are fitting tighter and I'm just not happy at all. I've been trying hard lately to watch what I eat but damnit it's just not working well. At the first of the year my work started paying for employees to go to the rec center and I signed up. I haven't been going as regularly as I should but I am wanting to give this an honest effort to loose 20lbs. If I loose more I would be happy as hell but my goal is 20lbs. I hate climbing on the scale and seeing it go up all the time. I'm tired of trying on jeans that don't fit right. I'm tired of having fat thighs. They have always been big and I hate it. If I had the money I wouldn't have a problem getting them lippoed but I don't want to do it that way. I'm not worried right now as much about muscle as I am about loosing the fat. I'm at a 32" jean but they are getting tight on my waste and thighs. I know that you can't target a certain area. My g/f and I are starting to take 2 to 3 mile walks tonight and it was fun. My knees can't handle the running much. I know that's not much and its not going to do much but it is a start IMO.

I'm sorry if I sound like a whine ass and I probably am but I'm scared to death that I'm going to end up weighing 300lbs and wearing a 42" jean. So I'm all ears. ]]> Beginner Fitness wbens http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40614 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40608&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:03:17 GMT Welcome, Speedfreak.

Didn't realize it had been that long! Looks like the activity on here has slowed down a little bit, but I'll be re-immersing myself into fitness again for some stress management, so I figured I'd jump back on here.

It's interesting seeing some of the old school guys that are still on here! ]]> Member Introductions Speedfreak http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40608 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40606&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Aug 2010 04:17:09 GMT New here and looking forward to getting to know everyone and chatting.:hithere New here and looking forward to getting to know everyone and chatting.:hithere ]]> Member Introductions 1972girl http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40606 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40605&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:50:39 GMT September 19.

her overall goal is weight loss so i decided to change her program up a little to be a little more weightloss friendly. critiques please on what i've come up with.

for the most part it's a time based push pull workout program with improvement being more based on cycles than weight or reps. basically it's 2 exercises supersetted where she will complete as many sets of each at a given number of weight and reps reps as many times as possible. here's how it will look:

D1: chest/back

exercise.......................superset

bench............................pull ups
DB incline.......................shrugs
flyes.............................BB rows

D2: legs/abs

pop ups.........................crunches
DL................................oblique crunches
walking lunges................leg lifts..................calves

D3: shoulders/bis/tris

DB military press.............preacher curls
skull crushers.................DB hammer curls
lateral raises..................rope push downs

all will be 10 minutes per set/superset @ 10 reps per set except for the triple set on walking lunges/leg lifts/calves which will be 15 minutes. factoring in warmup and set up/tear down before/after each set of exercises i dont plan on each day requiring any more than 45 minutes at most per workout.

given the intensity this style training should cause i'm thinking 45 minutes max should be good for strength gains but most importantly weight loss. i have personally lost weight doing a push/pull no rest style program so i think it's on the right track.

weight increases will be played by ear. im not sure when to incorporate them.

any critiques are welcome. ]]> Beginner Bodybuilding beefcurry1 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40603 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40602&goto=newpost Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:52:44 GMT Anothe Leonardo Decaprio Film, Very good film and yet again a very deep film but what a plot :D Anothe Leonardo Decaprio Film, Very good film and yet again a very deep film but what a plot :D ]]> Movies, Music, Games... bodyshop20 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40602 http://www.discussfitness.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40601&goto=newpost Fri, 13 Aug 2010 06:51:31 GMT Hi fellow members, I'm William, a new member and a landscape contractor from Singapore. I am now well into my 60s, since early July. I would like to share a picture of me "working out". Actually, I am really working on a landscaping project which involves re-turfing a 700 square feet garden - that's how I basically attain my physique and keep fit - through my work.



Looking at me shirtless and glistening with sweat, while catching a breather, the homeowner could not believe that I had already reached 60 years old. Actually, if we keep at it and train consistently, we will be able to maintain a physique that is pleasing to the eye, whatever our age. Hope this is useful to fellow members, cheers.
