**The OFFICIAL CC WEIGHT-LOSS THREAD**
- Thread starter AutoFanatik

haha...it happens....
i heard about some studies....bigger chance of quitting if your diet is TOO strict....people who are more moderate, actually lose more weight, and keep it off longer....
but you know what they say about percentages and studies....

i've prolly heard this one but, what do they say?but you know what they say about percentages and studies....
(as i type this im drinking water and working on a handfull of gummy bears....at least i got one part right)

"46% of all studies are wrong" or something along those lines
Keep it up, Im slowly starting to loose my winter weight and hopefully I will be back under 160 before september.

Lost 16 pounds in the past month and a half.. hopefully I can keep this up.
whats up weight-losers? you guys still stickin to your plans?? i havent updated this thread, but ive been getting more serious.....im hovering around 210 (id like to get to 195-200) but i also know that ive gained alot of muscle weight, which was something i DIDNT do last time i lost weight....my usual routine has been something like this for the last month or so...
7:00 breakfast (usually plain cheerios *OR* bowl of plain quaker oatmeal)
10:00 snack (low fat string cheese, handfull of almonds *OR* low fat/fat free vanilla yogurt)
12:30 lunch (grilled chicken/veggies *OR* 6" turkey sub *OR* power shake 'whey,milk,yogurt,oatmeal,ice')
3:00 snack (same as earlier)
5:30 dinner (6" turkey sub *OR* healthy dinner from Abs Diet book *OR* the rest power shake)
8:30 snack (cheerios *OR* (and this is rarely) a couple scoops of low fat ice cream)
ive completey cut out soda....mostly water...SOMETIMES juice....dont even really drink that much alcohol anymore either....
Sunday is usually the day where i "cut-loose" in the afternoon, because we always have a family cook out...but even then i try not to go too wild....
workout routine is usually:
monday @ noon
tuesday after work
wednesday after work
thursday OFF
friday after work
saturday OFF
sunday OFF
~30 minute circuit workout starting w/ 4 or 5 different ab excercises....then its squats > benchpress > pull down > military press > upright row > tricep push down > leg extension > bicep curls > leg curls (10 reps of each, with only 30 second rest between each excercise) then i immediately repeat once more....
its been very effective so far....so what have the rest of you been up to?

^ serious stuff im going for muscle increase, just not that much....back when i was first losing weight, i lost alot of because i was playing basketball at the gym a couple nights a week, and skating 3 or 4 times a week, and going to the beach all the time skimboarding, etc....but i didnt really have alot of muscle, so i got down to like 175-180 lbs (@ 6'-1" tall)
what id LIKE (ideally) is to look that slim again, but weigh somewhere around the high 190's, and have more muscle mass this time....so we'll see...
its an epic battle...my legs are getting fit and in shape, and my upper abs, chest, arms, shoulders etc are starting to get WELL defined....its just that part in the middle thats being stubborn!
but im getting there...slowly...
forgot to mention, i havent been driving my car either....i ride my bicycle to work and to the gym, etc....its not a TON of cardio, but its something

BUILD: Husky, some muscle, I used to work out quite a bit, then I gained some fat
Starting Diet:
Breakfast: Cheerios cereal w/ 2% milk
Mid Morning: Banana or orange
Lunch: Tuna sandwich w/ chips
Afternoon snack: 2-3 oatmeal cookies
Dinner: Macaroni and cheese with a side of baked chicken
Night: Sometimes icecream if I'm hungry
STARTING ROUTINE
Cardio: I run on the treadmill for about 20 min. once or twice a week
Weight: I lift weights once or twice a week at a local gym
GOALS
About 170-180 lbs, not too bad
And to everyone here that is trying to lose weight, I just wanna say good luck guys....it's tough to cut out the Mickey D's but it's all worth it in the end....hey, it also means more girls

trade the ice cream for fat-free frozen yogurt. especially at night. that should help.

i still eat mickey d's.. salads only though and chicken nuggets =D
but yea you should cut ice cream out your diet, NO SUGAR COMSUMPTION within 5hrs of sleep time. so lets just say if you sleep at 10pm, dont consume any sugar after 5pm. any sugar after that WILL turn into starch, which then will turn into fat.
now for people that think, eating light will help. it doesnt, you have to gain some to lose some. RANDOM, if your looking to gain mass, you should consume as much protein in grams as your weight in lbs. this helps protein spread out evenly throughout your body.
good luck guys, time for workout =D
