How to loose weight?

[FishyMan]

Thanks guys. Im really trying hard with this, I guess for some it is easier as their body can adjust well. I know my body is diff't.

I remember I was about 19 or 20 and I got myself down to 155 or 160 from 170. That was cuz I got a chance to go to a winter ball. My girl asked me and I worked realy realy hard, literally tuna and sandwich for lunch DAILY. I got so sick of it, but I had to do it. I never got a chance to go to my senior prom or junior or that type of thing, so you'd imagine how one will feel given the opportunity.. but I"ll leave that at another time. Now I'm 21 or so I'm lurking around 190. sigh..

Thanks..very much. This is a place where i can genuinely get away from it all...

Zippy's and hawaiian bbq doesnt help either

[FishyMan]

hahaa i hardly go there honestly. thast why i posted. i know if u eat junk food, it don't help. but i've shyed away from jacks, mcdees, zippys, and such. and i hardly bbq maybe once or twice in a year.. but its not to say i wont eat at those places, its jsut i rarely make it an occasional thing. and if i do, i avoid the fries and such.

thanks..

To lose weight the fastest and keep it off is to RUN. PERIOD! Running will get you in the best shape of your life. I have talked to Navy SEALs and they say running is the harddest and best workout they have done. run at first 1-3 miles every other day for about two weeks, then go up to 3-5 every other day. so 10-15 miles a week. You will lose so much weight in a month or two it wont be funny. But the hard part is to keep it up, stretch, and run your pace. Believe me i use to run 5-10 miles a day during HS and man i felt great and was 150lbs for four year of eating junk and drinking soda.

running...im just wondering about the long term effects of testicles bouncing around like that for so long

[FishyMan]

haha..

ya ive thought deep about it over the years and it just isn't a spontaneous thing. do u guys prefer the ones that sit down or stand up? i don't think i can afford a treadmill but a bike would do. i ck the ads daily for something that wont cost more thant $200.

thanks..

holy shit...trust me..ithink its equally as hard to gain weight if you're skinny as hell..as it is to loose weight...this is me

125lbs...and i'm 6'

i'm way underweight...and i eat like a pig...shit u not..i'm ALWAYS eating....i think a lot of genetics have a lot to do with weight and all...but just putting in my .2c dont feel like its hard to loose weight...its the same for ppl like me..

theres a diet my friend is on and it seems to be helping him alot!!, and this is how it goes.

Monday-Saturday, eat no sweets, no pop, only eat fruits, veggies, two big healthy meals a day. *refer to a health chart*

Sunday, eat whatever you want anytime of the day. This is your time off, your *break* from your diet. This is the one day you can pig out but still be helping yourself. by keeping the stomach in tune with your regular eating habits, so you wont get sick from such a drastic change in eating rituals.

i have never tried it, well, because im trying to gain a few pounds, but it seems to be helping him alot!

do u want to lose weight or u wanna bild musle or just have a regular body....

as said above running is what makes u lose weight.....
u don't have to do 5 miles a day... the thing about running is how u do it.... in the gym u can ask a trainer or use the tred mill.... it has all the setting that u need.....

first cut down on the carbs... carbs is what get u big and fat.... carbs are energy.. but if u don't use them then they are stored as fat cells in ur love handles, belly and then throw out the body...
calories. are energy too. u need them but as carbs,,, if unused they are transformed into fat...

calories from fat<<<<<this are the worst ones. eventhough u need them,,, u don't need to take a lot of them..

in order to lose weight u need a stright diet for at least 8 weeks.. running at least 3 days per week.

it is said u lose more weight if u run in the morning or if u run after a weight lifting sesion.
ifor 12 weeks i have lost about 35pounds and i can see my first 4 pack of abs lmao..

after a while runnin gets boring... u just got to keep up with it

[SsdAccord]

just run like no tomorrow. twice a day.. but take it easy the first time and build up for longer distances.. and drink good amount of water...and lay off the twinkies..

metabolism creates hunger.. not cravings.. so dont eat what you crave and eat good stuff when your hungry.

im taking health class right now.. haha

you can work out as well.. but you wont be able to tell the difference if your losing weight cuz muscle weighs more then fat..

[phatdoughnut]

Another note, if you are gona drink water, drink water. Dont ad shit to your water like lime, lemons, etc. because then your body wont process it as water it processes it as food.

most of us are fat(im 5'11" can go as low as 190-204 in a week) because we dont excersize at all. not because of what we eat, if it was because of what we eat, we would keep gaining and gaining weight. just start excersizing some..

[h22akkord23]

how does ur body process lemon water as food?

[FishyMan]

True.. I think it's mostly a fact of activity, but darn it is tough. But I do little things like take stairs instead of elevator and stuff like that.

I don't want to really build up muscles because I know that is another thing in itself, plus I have to find a way in which I can maintain it, other wise it'll just sag. I'm mostly trying to get back into shape, slim down healthy-wise and become a bit more athletic for basketball days with the boys.

But ya, diet + exercise..

Here's my plan.
I'll keep a stricter diet, not touch BEER for a few weeks, and we'll go from there. I can't go on to make drastic changes in meal, because I really can't do it and I heard that type of thing is bad as your body slows its metab and stuff.

I know strength training will help, but maybe a few weeks into the program.

I measured today monday 07/25/05
190 and go from there. I'll post and update maybe weekly so I don't have to be too obsessed with it.

Thanks guyz. I"ll let you guys know.

And btw, i thought if you drink water or whatever it goes into your digestive tract anyhow and water/food all processed in same way right ?

[phatdoughnut]

i guess? i dunno.

your body needs time to absorb as much water as possible, when you ad lemon juice to it, its not "bad" it just makes you digest your food alot faster, some people use it for weight loss or whatever too. but if you add lemon to all your water your body isnt gona be absoring as much as it should.
