I often go to random stores and practice full on body tackles on boxes. I'm now 6'6 and 250lbs of muscle.

I'm getting in shape for Black Friday.
I'm going to have to start exercising again. I started running and eating healthy early last year and lost a ton of weight. But ever since the holidays I have been eating and eating. I have gained probably 15 pounds since October. I feel horrible, and have been feeling depressed the last few weeks. Def need to start running again and changing my diet.

I started running 21 days ago. Out of those 21 days I've ran 14 days and was sick or resting on 7 of those. In 21 days I've lost 14.4 pounds.
It'll be interesting to see what happens the next few days because before Thursday I was running maybe 30 minutes and burning about 300 calories.
On Thursday I ran 2 hours straight with rest walking in between and burned approx 131 carbs, 825 calories in 7.25 miles. Today I ran for 2h20 minutes, burned 151 carbs, 1013 calories in 8.75 miles.
Between yesterday and today I lost 1.2 pounds. But so far everything has been awesome. When I get down to around 200 I'll probably start mixing in some strength training.

Congrats man :applause:
I honestly suck at running. I run for about 12 mins straight and give up. Keep up the good work.

Great job on the weight loss, man. 14 and a half pounds in 3 weeks? Very impressive.
I've been looking to lose some weight, as well, as I feel that I could definitely be in better shape. I realize that you're probably not an expert on fitness, but, in your opinion, how much weight do you think a 193 lb, 6'3" guy could lose in the span of about 2 months or so?
[QUOTE=hoopaddict08]Congrats man :applause:

I found out what was sucking about running for me. I kept looking at the treadmill stats too much. So what I did was cover them up and now I run by what music I have on. If I have a really good song I'll tear the shit out of that treadmill. If it's something I really can't get into running hard I'll power walk at 3MPH or 4MPH.
Then when I feel like I'm about to give up I'll peak at the status and see I've burned 700 calories. And I'll think, "No, f*ck that I'm getting 1000." So I'll cover the stats up again and go back at it like I was.

It'll definitely take longer I think. I think the average weight for someone that tall as a male is probably like 170-180 probably. I'm 6'1" and should be at around 170-ish. When I get down between 200-210 I plan to do some lifting in-between some cardio to get a little bit a muscle so I hope to be between 190-200 and look pretty fit. come summer time.
To be honest though I would have no idea. I lost a lot of weight fast because I was at 238. I'm down to 223.6 right now, but a big portion of that is because I'm eating tons better now and now binging out on snack food. There were times i would eat a whole back of Oreos with milk in like 20 minutes. I've cut out all the sweets. I might have a snickers bar once a week or so, and in between meals I'll eat fresh fruit now and not chips or snacks.
The hardest part of all of this is when it comes night time. I'm a horrible eater after dinner. And eating right before you go to sleep is the worse thing you can do and I did a lot of it. I still feel this urges to eat at around 9-10 o'clock. But I've been able to control it with a few shelled walnuts and a glass of water.

I can't run at 12 minutes straight. I'll run at like 5-6 mins, then rest walk for about 2-3 minutes then pump it back up again. Don't feel bad about running the whole freakin' time. They keep is to keep the heart-rate up and not just shut it down. You'll feel a lot better if you go for 30-60 minutes of running mostly then walking in-between. Usually I'll run at 6-8MPH for about 5 minutes, then walk for 1-2 minutes in between that. I tried 10MPH yesterday which is the max and I can't keep up with it yet. I did it for 25 seconds and I was like' F*ck, f*ck, f*ck" and turned it down with the quickness because I was going to lose control and fall of the treadmill.

I hear you there. I, too, eat too much at night. It's definitely a difficult habit to curb, but it makes a significant difference when you do.
My brother stands at 6'4.5" and, at around this time last year, he weighed 245 lbs. Today, he weighs around 175. He accomplished this primarily through a lot of jogging, and a significant change in his eating habits. I can't have my 25 year old brother in better shape than me.
My goal is to lose 20-25 pounds in the next 2.5 months or so. Can any of the more knowledgeable posters here tell me if that's a realistic goal or not? I've already cut back on the vast majority of my negative eating habits, and I'm willing to include any sort of cardiovascular exercise into my regimen.

It's easier for me to do because I have a treadmill in my house. Otherwise if you have to go somewhere to exercise or go outside when it's cold, it's much harder to get motivated. Otherwise you can always do something like P90X or Insanity as well.
used a run alot , foot issues , move to a bike
Talked with my doctor about weight loss , toning bod and he said the bike is a good thing.
I am think about getting a stationary bike again... as well as a road bike this summer.
The mountain bike was a.o.k. , but legit workouts on a road bike seems better for me.
Congrad's on the weight loss Met-code
Just remember it isn't speed , but steady pace and length of time , that running generates benefits.

That's awesome.
Back in 2008 I was doing the treadmill hardcore. At least 3 miles a day and doing about 3 miles in less than 40 minutes. Which I know isn't a whole lot to those people who run a crazy amount but for someone like me who could do at best a 15 minute mile in high school it was impressive. I got down to 240 (I was probably at 270 if not more at the beginning of the year) and that's when I was actually weighed. I think by the end of the summer I was 230 which is probably the lowest I've weighed since my sophomore year of high school. Anyways, our treadmill was about 8 years old at that point and broke. We fixed it and it had problems until the end of '09 when we finally got a new one. I've been doing it once in a while since then but the way I've been feeling the past 3 days I'm keeping it up again.
I'm probably back up to about 270. But I've given up drinking regular pepsi on a regular basis and have lost some weight the past few weeks. I'm fitting into jeans that didn't fit at all around the holidays. So I decided to start doing the treadmill now and keep it up. A reasonable goal for me is I want to get down to 230 again by June. My main goal is to get down to about 190-200.
My treadmill workout: 10 minutes at 3.7mph and 5 degree incline, 20 min at 5.5 mph level, 5 min. at 3.7 mph level, 10 min. at 4 mph and 5 degree incline, 5 min. at 3.7 mph level. I do that 3 times per week with lifting, pushups/situps/yoga on the off days. I'm 6'1, 190.

All I can say is keep at it.
I've been "consistently" hitting the weights, doing cardio, and yoga for about 2 weeks now, and I've, obviously, seen absolutely no physical results yet; however, I feel way more confident in myself. I love it. Can't wait until the physical results match the mental.

I don't eat junk food generally (maybe once every 3-4 weeks?), but I do overeat when I eat. Stupid, I know, but I have a tough time stopping. I try to have a protein-filled breakfast - a couple eggs, some cheese, tomato chunks and a banana. After that just kinda random, but decently healthy stuff for snacks, lunch, snacks, and dinner...
Bad? Good? Really bad?

I'm no expert, but if you're not seeing any changes in a month you might want to change it.

Dude I'm the same way.
Last year about this time I was around 190. I decided I wanted to lose just 10 pounds; so I started eating healthier and would do my best at running outside and on the treadmill. I became a little too obsessed with what went into my body that I ended up dropping down to 140 pounds in just a few months. I'm about 160 now. My problem now is that my junk food cravings are back and I can't stop eating junk. Yesterday for example I just ate a good healthy dinner. A half hour later I had the worst craving for something sweet, next thing you know I am raiding the cupboard and fridge eating just about everything. I wasn't even hungry.
For me I think a big problem is that this time of year always makes me a little depressed. It's cold, there is not a whole lot to do, and for some reason I turn to food.

Yeah I know I'm not fat. But over-eating makes me feel like crap but when I get in one of those moods I always resort to food. It's not healthy, and something I want to to stop doing.

Dude! You should really try swimming, at first i HATED every minute of it, but after doing at 3 days a week for just a few weeks it feels great. better than running och cycling imo
I've lost 8.8 lbs since new year. Mostly doing weight training at the moment. Once it gets a bit warmer I'm going to start playing more basketball for my cardio.
And yes exercise is great. The nice feeling you get after exercise is from endorphins. :bowdown:

They're kind of baby just man up type of feelings but honestly my knees/legs ache and stuff like that but jogging helped me with that. My knees and legs in general were more sore than normal the first few nights I did it, but after that my leg pains went away. It did the same thing for me. Now my legs ache again because I haven'tbeen able to run because I did something to my left wrist from the elbow all the way down to my hand. Getting it x-rayed and looked at this monday.
I weighted myself today after my 8 mile run yesterday and lost another 1.8 pounds. A total of 16+ since I started 22 days ago. I'm resting today though. My hip area is sore.
keep it up:applause:

Just out of curiosity, what are you eating throughout the day? What kind of meals/snacks/drinks are you consuming?
[QUOTE=hoopaddict08]Just out of curiosity, what are you eating throughout the day? What kind of meals/snacks/drinks are you consuming?[/QUOTE]
Every morning I eat a bowl of Raisin Nut Bran and a glass of OJ. If I run I eat it after I run because my metabolism is kicked up from running to burn it off quick.
Between breakfast and lunch I'll have a fruit and maybe some shelled walnuts. I love walnuts. Awesome source for omega 3 and fatty acids. At lunch I'll have a small-ish lunch. Usually salad with a sandwich and some juice, or two sandwiches with walnuts and some juice. Something like that. Then for dinner I eat whatever my wife cooks. Which is anything from spaghetti to steak. I really don't care what I eat for dinner, if it's something that I know is horrible for me I'll eat it in moderation. If it's semi-good or good for me I'll load up on it.
I'll also have a snack between lunch and dinner. Maybe a snickers bar or something to curb my sweat tooth, most of the time it's fruit or something like that.
The hardest part is NOT eating after dinner. I'll eat around 7PM and won't go to bed until 11PM to 1AM and it's very hard to control not binge eating after dinner. I usually drink some water to help with that.
When I get down around 200-210 I'll probably end up eating a little bit more because I'll start lifting and weight training.
And just to mention my wife. She's extremely frustrated. She's trying to lose a little weight, and she's stuck. part of the problem is, is that she eats after dinner. Like every tonight. Then she weighs herself in random parts of the day. Your weight can fluctuate like 2-4 pounds in a day depending upon when you eat, drink or use the bathroom.
I weigh myself every morning between 7AM and 10AM completely naked after I've done #1 and #2 in the morning. I won't eat either until I've weighed myself and I won't weigh myself until I get rid of the waste. I try to get the most accurate measurement possible.

Eat right foods and you can also eat after dinner, even right before you go to sleep if you wish. It's a myth that if you eat late in the evening everything goes into fat. Its all about being in a deficit or suficit and not about meal timing.
After reading your meal plan I think you're losing mostly muscles and water. Instead of using a scale use a mirror as an indicator of your progress.

:roll: I'm literally rolling right now because my wife said this last night. Her exact words are, "Are you working out to leave me?" I literaelly face palmed myself... :facepalm ...and sighed. And I then went...
Me: "No. I'm working out for myself only. I get tired of feeling like crap. If I don't work out, you crucify me about how out of shape I am. If I work out and give it 100% you ask if I'm getting ready to f*ck around on you? I can't win can I? But what about you? After we had Kalyn you went and worked out and lost like 30 pounds. Were you f*cking around on me?"
Wife: "No!"
Me: "Then please shut the f*ck up with the stupid questions."
Wife: "Psssssshttt"

I disagree with that at least on a personal basis. Even if I eat the correct foods right before I slept or after dinner, like fruits or bread or something, I didn't lose the weight like I am now. Plus at night your digestive system and body wants to shut down. I want to get a good night sleep. And my body working to digest food at night makes me wake up like 3 or 4 times a night every couple hours which isn't good.
You just gotta find what works for you and gets you the results you're looking for. Personally, I eat after dinner every night, usually something with vegetables so it's slowly digested, like celery w/ peanut butter or bell peppers with hummus. I play basketball and do intense circuit training 4x a week so my body is constantly craving food, which is why I eat at night.
