The Weight Loss Thread

Playboy said:
I can't do more than 10 minutes of cardio without running the risk of losing muscle mass, and as a result I still feel like I'm in horrible shape. The hardest thing for me is binging and eating enough calories to fuel my workouts without enlarging my waistline at the same time.

HIIT.

Nuff said.
 
today i tried on some old pants from high school and...THEY FIT! helloooooooooooooooooooooooo 34 inch waist. it has been a while. good to see you.

not as impressive as shogun's complete 9 month transformation, but i've dropped from 246 to 203 since july of last year. i'm happy.

shogun...the pics look great, and i know weight isn't too accurate to count body fat loss, but how many lbs have you dropped since starting? i dropped below 200 but now am gaining weight back again while still getting skinnier. hopefully i can maintain this trend and hit 215 again. i'm 6'2" btw.

i'm so happy today!
 
Well when I started I was at about 265 and a 44 waist. Now i'm at about 237 with a 38 waist.

So basically I lost 6 inches around my waist total and about 28 pounds. I built muscle however though so I can't fully say how much of a transition I made. I know that I have to punch another hole in my belt now lol.
 
Liked both your comments.

Awesome job, guys. I hope by July 19th to be close to 170lbs, which is my target goal. Then I'll have reason to brag.

Y'all both lost fat-weight while gaining muscle. That's great, dudes. All in a year? Wow.
I applaud you guys' dedication. Keep up the good work.
 
Weighed myself today: 192lbs.

Decided not to wait until to tomorrow to weigh myself. Did it this morning just 2 minutes ago. Current weight is 188lbs. Lost 4lbs pounds since Monday? I used the same measuring scale and the same circumstances when getting weighed. (Early in the morning, after my shower, before eating, in T-shirt and underwear.) That's crazy. I mean I felt lighter and my clothes are a lot more lose, but I thought I may have lost just a pound. I would have been happy with just that.

I have been eating a bit of junk here in there, but I usually just work out harder because of it. Well gotta keep going...
 
Too much unnecessary crap on that guy's site. Give me what I need with few references to support main ideas. A lot of knowledge but improper delivery makes for "noise falling on unreceptive ears".
 
There's a lot of scientific wall of crap on Berkhan's site because he is a nutritional consultant. You don't really need all that knowledge. It's useful for people whose life purpose is to get below 5% body fat and compete in bodybuilding (and self tanning) on the stage.
 
eat right- you know if you do or not...
ride a bike sometimes
don't eat at night

there. it didn't take a novel to spit out. i promise my method will work 100% of the time.
 
"Don't eat at night" is a myth :p as long as you don't exceed your calorie limit you can eat whenever you want.
 
Imo the don't eat at night is debatable, because if you're a night owl like me, you have no choice but to eat at night sometimes.

I have ate past 10 aclock, but mainly because I don't go to sleep until about 4 a clock in the morning alot of times. I've been seeing that as long as you give your body 3 hours for chemical and physical break down of foods then you should be ok. It is recommended not to eat at these late times because not everyone is really active around this time. So unless you planning on working out at 1 to 3 aclock in the morning (I do this alot of times) it's not recommended to eat late at night.

What I do believe is that it's not so much as when you eat, but what you do after you eat. With the idea of no eating past 9-10 aclock I believe a lot of the experts are saying "don't eat alot right before you go to sleep". This goes with afternoon naps, eating a bunch and taking a nap is not a good idea, you'll wake up feeling groggy and right back hungry, and I believe the nutrients you eat are not absorbed as properly too.
 
They say this because a lot of people don't eat breakfast and sometimes dinner too, they come back home starving and eat a lot of crap, much more than they should. That's why it's a popular (and false) belief that eating at night will get you fat. Caloric deficit is most important here. Probably true about nutrients, though. I'm not sure on this one.
