The Really Long Thread

[Brad]

At about 11pm I am going to go for a run on the treadmill. Lord knows I need it.

 

[Grandmaster]

Been going to the gym regularly for about 2 months now. Lost around 30 pounds.

 

[kcnychief]

Good GOD that's a lot of weight over 2 months

You should write a diet book - it would be a Best Seller

 

[Grandmaster]

Har

I was 245 and at Obesity Level 1 :S. Today I checked and I'm at 215. Need to get down to around 180

Going to start taking protein shakes too.

 

[Brad]

Protein, i believe, will make you gain weight. My goal is to get down to 180 as well. I started at 236.5 and am at around 215 too. But I started in January.

 

[Grandmaster]

Protein helps with muscle generation. I usually do about 45 mins of weight training and then at least 30 minutes of cardio.

Muscle generation is good because even though it'll make me gain weight, muscle burns more calories while resting than does fat. So I'll be able to eat more and still lose the same amount of weight

 

[kcnychief]

Protein shakes = good. They help your muscles heal after being tworn from weight training. After an instense workout, your body sucks up protein like candy.

I'm at about 215-220 now myself, but my body fat is only around 11 or 12%, so I'm happy where I am

 

[Grandmaster]

Never got my body fat percentage done, but I'm overweight.

 

[kcnychief]

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with it. When I was a bit heavier, roughly 18-19%, it drove me crazy because it takes FOREVER to change. I just had it tested lately as part of a physical, other than that I really dont' care about fat percentage, as long as I feel good

 

[Brad]

Never got my body fat percentage done, but I'm overweight.

Yeah, me too. I'm 5'8" and 215. I weighed 167 in high school (7 years ago) and I was in great shape.

 

[NetRyder]

Heh, everyone's trying to lose weight. I, on the other hand, need to gain some.
And that's actually harder than it sounds when you have a really fast metabolism.

 

[Brad]

let me give you some of mine.

 

[falconguard]

Come over to my house, i'll cook some ribs that'll stick to ya! Of course call before, takes about 4hrs till the bones fall out.

 

[Brad]

Y'all don't know nothing about grillin in SoCal. We do it right down here in the South.

 

[kcnychief]

5.5 Hours to go, then an hour drive home.

Getting a wee bit tired

[Vanquished]

Tehe,
Lack of sleep does lead to much confusion.
