Your encouragement to get me back to shape!

Or you can just be active.

Wow never thought of that one. Hmmm maybe, and this is just a thought, you could do both? You know diet and exercise. But i'm sure controlling a diet may to difficult and to hard for some people. Hmm maybe that has something to do with the weight. Just maybe.

Haha, touche. I actually am only so so about my diet. For me it's easier to exercise. I also would suffer if I had to live on 2000 calories. I burn way more than that.

Low carb, low fat, higher protein, no sugar, low sodium(this matters trust me), calorie count around 1500-2000 a day lots of water! Proper vitamin intake and you should be all good. If you want get it off faster try intermittent fasting. The hodgetwins have some quick info on that. They are on youtube. This is my diet and it is awesome. Lots of energy and healthier mentality if you exercise the diet need to be changed up a little good luck

There are good fats and good carbs, bro. If you want to gain mass, you're gonna' want/have to eat carbs/fats.

Exercise is also healthy for my mental fitness.

FIXED that for you!

Godspeed, there's nothing worse than being out of shape, especially when it comes to fitness which as you know is important for your mental wellbeing, as well as the physical benefits - you feel better, you have more energy, you get sick less often, etc.

So, I am getting married next Christmas Don't have an exact date set since it depends on the locale I'm able to acquire. But, what I've found to work exercise wise (I lost 25lbs in 2wks last fall!) is that Jillian Michaels knows what works. And what works is alternating muscle groups and keeping your heart rate up for 20min/day. The alternating muscle groups thing tricks your body into burning the fat! Keeping your heart rate up is good cardio. Also from my sister whose in nursing school: apparently 80% of weight loss is your diet. I try to stick to under 1500 calories but I'm only 5'1" and a girl.

Granted, I cussed her out the entire video but I highly recommend Jillian Michaels' multi level workout video: the results were worth it and the 20min go by fast! She also helps you stretch before and after.
Lately I've just been doing the gym, but I think I'll get back to the video

Justin seems to have it down: no un-needed sugar, LOTS of water. Oh and just being active is good too Staying busy is always good for body and mind.

Congrats missluckie... And who is the lucky fellow? Where are you living again?

I don't use a treadmill because it can be harsh on the knees, i use the cross trainer at the gym and because its a modern gym with all new equipment it's ultra smooth.

I've got to the point where i can run at a fairly high speed for an hour non stop but by that point my right foot goes numb, which I've heard is a common problem which I'm not too worried about.

If you aren't a muslim, i can't tell whether you are or not, but if you aren't I recommend you listen to loud aggressive music, something from the rocky soundtrack or rap music that involves pimpin hoes and beatin niggas down.

As for "Good and Bad" whatever I would just say that for the novice body builder getting enough exercise at this stage is what is important Gil...not everyone is up to YOUR Awesomeness.

I usually don't agree with Gilgamesh, but he's definitely right on this one...you gotta eat. With enough cardio and lifting the weight will drop off naturally without having to go on a radical diet...

I know this. I never said you didn't i said if you exercise you need a change up in the diet but the goal i thought was to lose weight? Muscle can be broken down as well especially in cardio diets. You don't do cardio and take in less to put on gains. Your body can and will eat muscle. He was wanting to lose weight so gave a diet that worked for me, my friends, bodybuilders, and many others. He was already doing cardio and working out so why would i tell someone to do something they were already doing?!

Just found it insulting man. Of course exercise do what works for you but i was just giving some diet advice that has had wonderful results and fast. He said he was working out so there was no need for me to make a statement on it really. Not trying to cause friction just giving my advice on diet is all.

I usually don't agree with Gilgamesh

Irrelevant but I probably find myself agreeing with you just as much as I'd agree with any given atheist on this forum. Meh.
