Scott and I have been trying to lose weight ever since the winter retreat. I weighed myself there and came in at a hefty 232 lbs. Well, a few weeks later and I'm in the 2-teens. I've been aerobic exercising every night, 30-60 mins a night, and trying to diet properly (Whole foods, 1000 calories/day), and this week I've managed to maintain a 218 lb average - yesterday's weigh in had me at 217.6 lbs. I hope to be in the 205-210 range by the end of next week. I don't think that's too agressive - 20 lbs in five weeks.

 

Why is it that my muscles don't hurt the day after training, but two days later they're killing me?

 

how tall are you?

 

6'1" ish

 

and what is your goal (weight wise)?



its kinda sad, i wiegh exactly 200 and i'm 5 foot 6in...



i used to be big, then i went to college.

 

I am not weighing for a little while, don't want to get discouraged.



Been eating good, had a couple weekends where I ate like ****, but lean cuisines for lunch, slim fast bars for breakfast and then a good dinner, salads, trying to stay away from the breads.

Well, Ideally I'd like to see 215-220 of muscle. I think that'll take some time though, so my goal is to be in the 190's with my fat loss - around 10-12% bodyfat.

 

it looks like you are well on your way, i mean you lost like what 15lbs already in a few weeks.



So you should be good. you motivate me and make me want to get up off my *** and go jog.



i think i will do that. thanks alot sinful.



(i also undertand why youre making such a big change...)

 

Yeah, just keep hydrated, that's my only real advice.. The first week of weight loss I saw an 8 lb reduction, then I stagnated for a week - I assume it's because I lost quite a bit of water weight. Now, it seems I'm steadily on a decline, maybe a .3 lbs a day, which doesn't seem like a lot, but over ten days, that's three pounds. Go grab a three pound ham and it's clear how much bulk that really is.

 

yeah, i just watch what i eat a little, and excersice a little, i'm down to 160 from 180sih. i feel great too
