i currently weigh 218

i'm 6ft and my current weight is 218, that is up from around 195-200lbs back in october.  i was laid off on halloween and have been sitting on my ass in front of my computer roaming this covers site since november.  i guess what i'm trying to say is gambling = weight gain...  here is what i'm going to do about it, lots of walking and jogging.  i'll let you guys know how i do.

easy to pick up weight this time of year if you're not careful...firm up your diet + start sweating  

2169.. I'm 40, 5'10", 246 pds. I have a beer belly. Farm raised as a kid. Played fb, bb, and track. I may be "obese" by the drs. stds., but I can bounce at a bar like nobodys business. Still play bb by the way. You are still good pal.

You'll lose weight like crazy with this diet. Breakfast- Regular Oatmeal, Snack-Blueberries or strawberries, Lunch- baked beans turkey sandwich with mustard, Snack-Cashews or peanuts, Dinner- Grilled chicken, asparagus, Snack- Yogurt. Drink 6 glasses of ice water and you'll see some quick improvements. If you do any type of moderate excercise 15-20 minutes, you'll be feeling good. You can cheat twice a week for 2 meals. Good luck.

If you want to lose weight you need to diet also. Not starve yourself buty limit your portion sizes (atleast in the period you want to lose weight). Cut out soda's except for the light/zero cal ones.

Also studies shows that it is better to do high impact training than slow like walking. Why?

A) You only burn the fat "inside" that is placed around your organs if you get your heart rate up.

B) Physical fitness, your heart, blood pressure and overall wellness is better when you press yourself. It can be a good thing to do a mix of high intency, low intency training and your diet.

i've seen guys like you before... i don't want to fuck with

i'm doing this for my own self improvement

i played football in college and they beefed me up to 215 i am 6"0 and then when i stopped playing i turned into a fat 225 eating like shit because i finally didnt have to train.  i then realized my family has a history of heart problems and i should be proactive.

3 keys to truly being "fit", i sell this all day

by the way 500 not 5000 lol

lost 10lbs.  am officially under 210.

keep it up man

I'll take you up on that offer.

I have an elderly mother 5'4 240 pounds who is 75 years old with kidney problems and high blood pressure among other shit.

What steps or activities can she start that won't kill her or discourage her from stopping that would help increase her activity ????

Some diet tips couldn't hurt her either.

Thanks

Good job 2169.  I've dropped 12 myself (don't know how), but probably added 20 during madness week.

good job man...im trying to lose a few myself, and today is the day it starts for me..

Scorpio, get her somewhere where she can do some water aerobics...extremely popular with the seniors for good reason.  Today for example from 11-1 we had senior day (every tuesday and thursday) where they pay just $3 to do water aerobics and use our free motion equipment and walk the track.
