I've lost 10 lbs since January but I'm really wanting lose about another twenty bls before June 1st but I'll be lucky lose 5 to 10 bls by then. I hate being hungry. Working nights I just want to eat at work not much to do and I go home wanting to eat before I go to bed.
I have been working out some at home trying to cardio with 15lbs dumb bells ready move up to 20lbs. I know bananas are good potassium sores what else is good to keep from waking up with calf cramps?

Thanks Simply Red for this thread you seem to be a nice guy. I hope being a nice guy doesn't keep the girls not interested because girls don't like nice guys they pretend to like nice guys but they like assholes better as I found out.

Took me a year to drop 100 lbs. Another year to prove I can keep it off. I’m on year 3 and working to reduce body fat %. I have found this to be harder than the first two years. My fitness pal is good for general tracking, but accuracy and considering strength training calories it was not so good. I kept to a 1600 calorie daily diet and exercised daily. Cardio and strength training are a must.

Speaking of dumbasses, it's posts like Stewie's with bad math. To expand on Silock's response which is right: A 200lb, very muscular male with 10% bodyfat, has a higher basal metabolic rate and needs more calories per day just to maintain his bodyweight due to his high percentage of weight being muscle. Factor in that he probably works out very hard to get his physique, he's burning quite a few calories per day and likely needs 3000-3500 calories a day to maintain his bodyweight, fluctuations accounting for exercise intensity from day to day. A 200lb, very average man, with 20-25% bodyfat (this is what most average gym-goers have for bodyfat, if not more), has a lower basal metabolic rate to maintain his bodyweight as fat does not require as many calories per day to maintain. Given that this person works out a few hours per week like many regular gym-goers and likely only with average to low intensity exercise, this 200lb man very likely only needs 2000 calories a day to maintain his bodyweight. In simple terms, gain muscle and burn more calories with your workout. You'll be able to eat more to maintain your bodyweight. Hope that helps. |

Workout while I was losing the weight was everyday, 60 minutes of steady state cardio. I'm a big believer in body confusion and convinced myself that once the routine became easy, I needed to change it up. I feel if its not hard and you're not pushing yourself, you aren't doing anything. I primarily do HIIT now and do circuit training for my strength training. I do the circuit before I do my HIIT. This has been tremendous, and there is a nice feeling of being drained...strange, but I kind of like it. The foundation that has maintained my discipline during all of this was and still is, don't do this for nothing. I didn't do 60 minutes of hell on the eliptical, just to blow all of those gains on a bunch of beer or ice cream, or.... I used other success stories as encouragement. I knew friends that achieved results and realized that we weren't all that different, and if they could do it, there wasn't any reason why I couldn't. The body fat percentage has been a challenge. I'm trying intermittent fasting, but the 16/8 has been difficult, mainly because at the 14/15 hour mark, I am getting hungry. Hope this helps on your journey. I know you can do it...or your friend can do it! |

Yesterday was an up day with a target of 2500 calories. I ended up at 2280. I weighed 219.6 this morning, which was surprising. I don't usually weigh less after an up day.
Another up day tomorrow with a target of 2500-2700 calories. Tomorrow will be my official one week weigh in (started at 225.2). |

I like to change it from per 100 gram serving to per 200 calorie serving as you get fewer things like "dried parsley flakes" I can get horrible calf cramps at night when I am losing weight. For me personally, I found supplementing with potassium did nothing. I finally found it was salt I was low on. I have to make sure I get enough salt now or the cramps come back. I suspect it isn't sodium or potassium themselves, it's an imbalance between the two that causes the cramps. So if one doesn't work, try the other. |

Just PM Lew or Penz on where to get Tren. After 3 months you'll be where it takes most natties 2-3 years to get to.
