    Default Getting back into the gym after a long break

    I just got a membership at the gym so I can try to get myself back in shape. It's been a long time and I'm way out of shape. Been doing nothing but smoking, drinking, and eating fast food. I'm 195 right now and I want to get down to 180.

    I heard there were some poster on ISH that are pretty good with this kind of thing so I was if you guys could give me some tips on how I should go about doing this. Walking? Running? Weight training? Diet?

    That's better than having a fat stomach like that guy on Supersize Me. And my face is getting fat too. I ran into an old friend of mine the other day and the first thing he said was, "Dang man, you done gained weight." I laughed, but it really hurt me inside.

    With weight lose, its 90% diet. You must resturcture what you eat, when you eat and how you eat. Cardio is good and all but if you want to see results, diet is where you start

    jack off, nut in a shot glass, and drink it. best source of protein+test anywhere in the world. and its all natural and home made. I've been doing it for 15 years and now I'm a ****ing beast. Anyone that sees me on the streets knows not to mess with me.

    Bruh I feel you. I'm going through the same thing. It's hard finding time to hit the gym though and eating healthy is expensive.

    Best way to lose weight is figure out all the unhealthy shit your eating and try to find healtier alternatives for that. Try to cook your meals.

    Look into low carb diets.

    How tall are you? Cut out fast food, and cut drinking in half (or totally if you can) and that alone will drop you 10 pounds. If you're trying to only lose weight first and not bulk don't do weight training you'll actually gain weight.

    3 days a week: star doing 14 minutes walk and one minute run at your own pace on a treadmill. After the first week up that to two min run to 13 mins walk. Third week 5 mins run to 10ins walk. Continue that until you can run for 30 minutes straight

    Do some muscle strengthing exercises without weights. Google some

    After a month or so try some weight lifting if you wish as so.
