Congratulations, Miz. That's quite an accomplishment!

 

Thanks

 

I just need to cut more fat now. Then I'll be where I want to be.

 

Ugh, been hovering between 182-185 the past month

No change in measurements

Not sure how to keep going. Maybe cut more calories again.
Should I be taking creatine? Or?

 

what are your goals?
Do you just want to get skinny?
or are you lifting as well?

 

Sort of lifting. Doing p90x

I just really want to get rid of my tummy and get bring down body fat.

Using my BI scale it says I'm around 26-27% so maybe <20?

 

keep doing what you're doing.

less calories consumed and more calories expended.

 

K

 

You drinking a lot of water? Bringing down body fat usually means don't eat sugar. I find that consuming less sweet helps a lot.

 

you need to lift weights. more muscle mass= increased base metabolic burning of calories at rest. keep doing cardio, add in resistance/wt training...the rest of it should begin to shed off assuming you keep eating clean as well.

good work overall

 

64-80oz of water a day

 

Thanks, I need to up my weights. Bought a set of dumbells that's too light for me and a PIA to change the weights. (Screw on type)

 

How has your carb intake been?

 

Congratulations Miz! Keep up the great work!

 

Check out Powerblocks Matty, that's what I have in my home gym. Congrats on losing the weight.

 

well on average i consume about 150g of carbs, with a net carbs of about 110g during the day.

protein I've upped to about 80g, just noticed in my logs i was eating around 20-25g before

then again, i don't really track my dinner as that food is made by my mom, so i just portion control that and eat less. so my log isn't entirely accurate

dinner i really think is whats making it very difficult for me, and also weekends. yea yea i know lame excuses.

 

ill take a look into those. i was thinking of getting the bowflex adjustable dumbells.

 

does this sugar include fruits?

basically i eat a banana and an orange everyday. and then a cup of 0% chobani greek yogurt with the fruit on the bottom.

not including dinner, i average about 70g of sugar, unless i accidentally eat a cookie or candy that's lying around my office.

its funny, i eat it and them im like "ohh no WTF did i just do" its like i eat it without even thinking

i've been trying to pay more attention to this recently thou.

 

natural sugars dont' count. dont' put junk sugar in your system (processed sugars or high fructose corn syrup, or the sweetners).

 

Just don't eat 50 oranges in a day either...

 

Thinking of getting just plain greek yogurt and putting in my own raspberries or whatnot.

 

^^this or a yummy granola.

 

Granola and yogurt is one of the best things ever.

 

I have Greek yogurt for breakfast or fresh fruit. Mid-morning and afternoon, I have a protein shake or eat fresh fruit. If you're not doing this already Matty, this may facilitate portion control at dinner. I also find it keeps my energy up during a typically busy clinic day.

 

+1 on the yogurt and fresh fruit for b-fast.

I also have barley-grass juice too. Keep at it, Miz...consistency is the key!

 

Finally moving again.

178

Once I get to a consistent 170 I think I'm gonna make some changes and start to bulk up.

But I don't want a crazy body building body

 

Still need heavier weights thou, but those adjustable ones are quite $$$

 

its crazy hard to do that.
body fat % needs to be single digit.


Just keep doing what you're doing!
you're on the road to success!

 

I can't believe 1 year ago I weighed 229

 

WOW!

not to embarrass you; but by chance do you have any pictures to show off your progress!?

 

 

I do, but the past 2-3 months I haven't really took any.

Don't know if I want to share it on here

 

totally up to you to share.

 

just blur out your face, thats what i do!

and hey, progress is progress. doesn't matter if its a little or a lot.

 

If Warren can do it, any one can

 

so 3 months later im at 174.1lbs and 2" off my waist (37 to 35)

started this push last year and i was at 229. so thats 55lbs lost

 

That's awesome man. Shows that you do have the discipline to change yourself. Do you have a target weight?

 

Congrats dude! Nice work.

 

yes, my target right now is 170. after that i was gonna go with 160, but i think i just need to cut back body fat instead.

 

awesome man. i hope all my bickering helped.
