It sounds to be working so just continue what you're doing right now. Perhaps in a few weeks you can change things up a bit. You'll see the biggest drop of pounds during the beginning, don't get discouraged. Stay consistant and you'll be fine.

yo jay thank you!! Ya ive heard when you start losing weight you lose the watery substances in your body first which causes a fast weight lost in the beginnin however after that you start losing fat.

do you guys think changing my diet habit from one mile to perhaps too miles will cause me to lose weight quicker?

Well the longer you run, the more calories you burn so yeah. You'll wear yourself out running all the time. Go do some laps at the pool. I hate running, but its a necessity in my line of work.

I forgot. Just bought Muscle Milk Root Beer Float. It's pretty damn good. I've only had it once though. The only issue I noticed was the taste stayed with me for a while. I'll see if it continues.

Thanks alot guys... if it werent for this thread, i probably wouldnt have been anywhere near as inspired to do it. just knowing that all of you guys are working your asses off to loose some weight really pushed me to do it.

as far as my diet goes, its very simple.
breakfast: one slice of rasin + cinnamon bread, handfull of nuts, 1L of water.

Lunch: tuna fish sandwich, loaded in tobasco sauce. you wont be full, so just guzzle down as much water as you can until your full.

Dinner: 1/2lb of sauted vegetables, grilled chicken. lots of water.

^^^ follow this plan for sunday-thursday, so you can eat what you would like on the weekend. just make sure not to over do it, adn to keep drinking alot of water. i cut out sodas completely, i used to drink at least 6 cans of pepsi a day... def. not good. a word of advice: diet sodas are worse for you, they trick your mind and you end up gaining more weight. so if u really crave a coke, grab the real thing

dont ever eat after 6pm. its horrible for you. take centrum one a day sport, its a great boost. i also highly reccomend the hearbal cleanse complete 7 day kit i posted on page 2 of this thread. its an excellent boost. Holm4n took it and its worked great for him.

as for my excersice routine.... i run for an hour, straight. after, do as many weights as you can, working out all your muscles. my weak spot is my belly, but thats because i dont do ANY ab workouts. which i MUST change. after the hour of weights, go right back onto running for another hour, or at least 40 minutes.

i am going to try going on a vegetable juice fast for 21 days. i should loose about 15+ lbs, and hopefully, my big dahl belly. at least, thats the goal.

i wish everyone who is trying hard the best, and i know i will continue working my ass out as much as humanly possible.

Did you happen to take bodyfat measurements along the way? Cause to me it sounds like you've found a great way to drop fat and muscle. And one of those, you don't want to lose.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing.

Its a great way to lose weight, but your body is eating your muscle. But hey, if you're happy I'm happy.

What I realized is that purchasing flavored protein tends to get boring/ ordinary after a week or so. I usually buy vanilla and use a milk/ fruit/ peanut butter blend, keeps a fresh taste going.

I tried MM once it was ok (I like ON much better) but I have friends who love it. I'm a Root Beer fan but don't think I could stomach an entire tub of the stuff.

Same here. How many root beer shakes could you drink before you start throwing up? lol

Thats the beauty of getting plain vanilla. You can make it whatever flavor you want.

I'm with you. If a protein blend doesn't have a good tasting Vanilla, I'll never buy it.

I just wanted to try the Root Beer one for a change. I've only had it 3 times and while it is good. I think it's going to get old really quick.

On another note, anyone ever use something called Bliss Shot?

I'm sort of interested in trying it.

finished the herbal clean 7 day detox before i started working out and it really does work. the clean worked great. i feel rejuvinated and i can run alot longer not to mention i feel really good right now.

the program was hard to follow and i did have a few mess ups but overall if you just stick with the basic outline and it's great.

im on xyience right now and continuing to lose weight but my stomach is a pain in the ass and my least favorite to work out

[vq352k]

I usually just run for an hour, but I guess i'll switch to 2 hours and see how that goes... i just want to lose bodyfat

Do aerobics then. Never in my life have I sweat as much as I have doing that. I did it once right after Basic training. An hour of that and you'll be soaked.

I've been slacking a lot, gotta get back into the routine and lose my stomach flab.

Damn beer is killing me, but thats what happens when your friend comes home on leave from the military.
