Trying to lose some weight, Any pointers??

That's no problem if they wear fast, cause now powerwalking has me stuck with the equivalent of major arm pump from riding a dirt bike.

that is true... cushion support usually wears out within a few months, when used a lot. Serious runners replace their shoes a few times a year

Also the persons size has a factor too. a dude at 140lbs vs a dude at 240lbs, the lighter dude shoes will last longer.

I've been trying to lose weight since the beginning of November. I'm 5'11" and I started at 250lbs. I'm down to 232lbs. I stopped drinking all soda's (I could kill a 2 liter of Mt. Dew in one sitting) and switched to water. One trick is to eat something every 2-3 hours, all day long.

I try to eat breakfast within 10 minutes of waking up (usually a bowl of Special K or similar).

Then I'll snack on a granola bar, some almonds, or something like that - as long as it's between 100-300 calories.

For lunch, I've been making either turkey or ham sandwiches. No mayo - maybe some mustard, depends on my mood.

Snack again mid-afternoon on some almonds, some chips or something like that.

Dinner is usually a slow carb (salad, green beans, etc.), a fast carb (corn, potato) and a meat (steak, chicken, etc).

Portion size is key also. You don't want to over do it. Use smaller plates to trick yourself into thinking you have more food than you really do. Wait at least 20min after you eat before you get more food. It takes your body at least that long before it tells your brain that it's full.

I've lost my weight without working out hardly at all. For about the first week I worked out a little bit, but since then it's been nothing. I have an elliptical, treadmill, Total Gym, free weight bench, and a heavy bag, and have not used any of them in at least the past month (mainly due to holidays and having to push everything into the garage to make room for family). That's gonna change though.

I hope to be down another 10lbs by my birthday (Jan. 24) and down to 200lbs by summer.

Thanks guys for all the info! im making notes trust me! Ill keep everyone posted on the weight loss...

The problem my g/f has and what most other fatties have is they over do shit. If they're not over eating they're over dieting. My point is start out slow and establish good habits...that's the only way you'll keep the weight off. Course she doesn't listen to me so why should you.

lmao :haha: mine wants me to help her but whines when i try. and then over eats

your gf is a fatty? It sucks because women act like they're helpless as they're eating a pint of haagen-dazs. I've LOST a couple pounds over winter break just eating less. Where as the women in my family and all the girls I know (bitch about it on facebook) balloon up even further.

fatties can slob on your knob like no other

"hey baby, just imagine it's a 99 cent grilled stuffed burrito"

get drunk every night and eat gad station food

since I am 6'3" 255lbs, the pair I bought actually has what is called ROLL CAGE. its a graphite reinforcment that goes under the foot up to each ackle, prevents you from rolling your foot when you run. i tend to run on the outside edge of my foot. This prevents that and saves my shins/legs.

Never knew that. I too walk on the outside of my foot. After a few months I have to get new shoes IF they have a foam bottom. So for a few years now I tend to buy some with a hard rubber bottom.

Well im still in my young age, but i suppose ill help
im on varsity track and this is what my couch tells me

i run 15 miles a day
and eat good

my schedule

Wake up
"Soon after" Eat a breakfast
walk 1 mile

come home, rest.
small snack

go outside run another 8 miles

go in, have lunch
usually a small sandwich or a hot pocket

go back outside and run another 5 miles
and end it with a mile walk

come home eat dinner

usually corn, and some kind of meat
i eat very slow so my stomach feels more full


The way i run and jog is
slow jog then sprint for as long as i can
jog again
and repeat.

I also wear trash bags around my body along with
2 pairs of sweats and 2 hoodies and sweating helps keep your body cool as long as you replenish with water or some kind of electro lite drink like gatorade

Beginning of last summer i weighed in about 145
now i weigh 120

I want a talking couch!

and I don't know about the rest of the guys, but since I have a full time job, I can't run like that during the day.

Yeah it was much easier to work out when I was in school and didn't have a job to go to. Much less two of them. It sucks when you work 8-5 (6 usually) and then go home, go to gym, get home at 8:30 or 9. Hey family, goodnight family.

Also remember to eat 6 small meals a day. eat aleast 200 cals every 2 - 3 hours, it keeps your metabolism working.
