**The OFFICIAL CC WEIGHT-LOSS THREAD**
- Thread starter AutoFanatik
- Start date
i was skeptical at first when someone showed me the link, but the more i read, the more i realized he was following a legitimate (at least in my eyes) nutritional/excercise program....one i had already done in the past with amazing results...
he just videos (or video'D) himself along the way to show progress...i think that makes it easier to follow along, or at least makes you want to stick with it
yeah, its a good routine....and i know its called the Abs DIET, but its not really a diet, at least if you look at it correctly....diets are usually something you do for a while to lose weight, then stop....the book is really just about doing excercise and eating healthy...i eat more now than i used to back when i was eating junk food....its just that im eating WAY more healthier...its good stuff

Just a little update from me. From Dec 26th to Jan 22 I went from 273 to 259. So in just under a month I lost 14 lbs. My next "weight in" is on Tuesday and I hope to be under 255.

i just that last night and caused an earthquake
STARTING IMAGE
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 200 lb
Build: stocky a little muscle with some baggage
STARTING DIET
Breakfast: cereal or McD's
Mid-Morning: snacks
Lunch: snacks or whatever restaurants give me free
Afternoon Snack: snacks
Dinner: big home cooked meal
Late-Night: nothing
STARTING ROUTINE
Cardio: run 3 miles plus 3 days out of the week. I do pushups, misc. core exercises
Weight: bench, curl, and misc dumbbell routines.
right now I'm about 185 but my form has changed a little. I'm starting to look a little more built in the ches, shoulders and losing a little gut. My eating habits changed a little too. I don't eat fast food as much and I eat more fruit throughout the day. Also if I do eat out it's a salad or a sandwich.

Well I'm back at it again.... I have started/stopped/started trying to lose weight about 5 times now 
. So hopefully number 6 does it 
. I have finally kicked my alcohol habit and soda problem. Before when I went without I had strong cravings, but Soda at least is not craved by me... Alcohol will take a little time I suppose...
I want to lose weight and get ripped for next summer so I can walk around with my shirt off...
I'm so confused though, because should I focus on losing the weight and then once I'm a skinny twig start hitting the gym? Or do they go hand in hand? The reason I ask is because one of my friends is fat as hell, but he's extremely strong (Not sure if he has all that muscle from hauling around his blubber), but he just looks fat....
I guess I'm confused a bit more and the Internet just confuses me more with all these different things to try...
I mean the obvious. Eat healthy smaller meals. Get rid of Soda, Beer, Fried Foods, condiments, etc... I know and it makes since, but the excercizing and calorie intake confuses the hell out of me...
If I eat healthy and pump iron, and do ton of cardio will I get the results I want?

I did both. I did body workouts which consisted of body weight only (i.e. pushups, pull ups, squats, prison squats) for about 40 mins followed by about another 40 mins of weights. THen I'd do stairmaster for 20 mins or so slowly increasing the resistance as weeks went by. I would this routine m,w,f
Cardio days were tues & thursday. When I started out, I couldn't run .5 miles without stopping. NOw I can run 4 miles with no stopping in 35 mins. I'd always follow up my 35 mins with 15 more on the elliptical. That is, always no matter what do 35 mins on the treadmill: run for .5, walk for 1, run for another .5.....however/whatever you do it doesnt matter so long as you stay on there for 35 mins. then head to the elliptical. Your ultimate goal is to run those 35 mins straight. I run at an average of 7.8mph.
This will take time (took me one year) and it WILL NOT be easy. You have to watch what you eat of course and eat 6 times a day. I have some before and after pics if you need motivation

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind that would be good
This is taking a lot for me to post but...
pretty much what I looked like Jan 1, 2007 - 222lbs, 5'8½"
Jan 1, 2008 - 168lbs
I still have problem areas and i've been slacking as of late, but the revival of this thread has motivated me again
