I'm just trying to tone my body and maintain my weight (and be healthy).

About me:
---------------------------
I'm an architecture student at a great school.

After trial and error, managed to shed the pounds for real.

What I'm doing:
---------------------------
Portion control still a problem.
HIIT 2x/week
Starting weights 1x/week

I take stairs over escalator and elevator ALL THE TIME (I climb 6 sets of stairs minimum for the day at the metro 2-3floors?).

Extra note:
---------------------------
I finally understand what being fit means! And I actually love running now thanks to HIIT.

Goal: lose the belly fat! My problem area.
First goal: 120lbs - MET
2nd goal: 116lbs - MET
3rd goal: 112lbs ish with more muscle definition

Realizing I can't change the way my body stores fat and have a noticeable belly during the day (pic was morning with light breakfast after workout) I will work on making a stronger core to counter the pooch a bit

Dropped 1 pant size since last year (stable weight)
Dropped 2 pant sizes since mid-Summer after Greece (pastries=weight gain)

N u t r i t i o n
I g n i t i o n
C u l t i v a t i o n

One can never be too N.I.C.E.

BELT NOTCHES for 2008:

- Mistressed the PULL-UP!
- 2, 1.2km lake swims.

Hi, my name's Ali, and I'm 16.
I've been on diets since I was an obese 9 year old, with an underactive thyroid (presumed - too young to be tested on the NHS) and IBS.
Since I turned 13, I've been slowly, but surely, upping my exercise, and cutting the rubbish out of my diet. My BMI has dropped 9 points, from 30 to 21, mainly due to weight loss, but helped along by a 2 inch growth spurt. I would now like to lose a further stone and a bit before summer 2008, and tone up a bit as well.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...

diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com

I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)

I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!

I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?

Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.

I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.

Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

I have 2 sets of teenage twin boys. I'm happily married the 2nd time around. I'm getting older and I'm trying to lose weight to avoid developing any health problems. I've been big my entire life.

*Sweet Tooth
*Excessive eating, 5 cheeseburgers from Micky-Dee’s go down well after drinking
*Being Unfit
*Tearing a knee ligament 3 times
*...make that four times....

Depending on how feel, the final weight goal is 60-75kg. Final fitness goal is to run a pain free 5k without wanting to die.

Looking to add some muscle over the next few months. Trying to get in those calories and focusing on the compound lifts. We'll see how it all goes :)

i enjoy being active, maybe sometimes too much. i run almost everyday, i walk my dog, bike, play tennis and swim.

i need to control my eating habits and learn to eat healthy again.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

I'm 23, and a Software Engineer in California, US. I've been mildly overweight most of my life (reached a whopping 215 lbs when I was in college last year).

After graduating college I decided to let go of the DELICIOUS cheese burritos and start adopting a healthier diet. New diet consisted of more fish and less red meat and less fast food. Within 8 months my weight dropped to 185 lbs with very little physical activity (once a week racquetball).

Couple months ago I checked my body fat percentage on my brother's bio-electrical impedance weight scale and saw that I had 22% BF!! I'm sure I lost a lot of muscle mass during my low protein diet.

ARRRRGGHH.. New goal: Get "cut" (Bruce Lee), I'm planning on dropping my body fat to 12%, and at the same time build muscle definition. I have average "genetics", so I won't be able to build muscle and lose weight at the same time. The next few months (3-4) I'm going to focus on lowering my body fat, and then focus on building muscle.

That said, the last four weeks I focused on building a little bit of upper body muscles (abdomen, chest, triceps) since muscles burn calories AND it was relatively easy for me to gain a little bit of muscle. A month ago I started with 15 lbs dumbbell for flat chest press, and now I can do same reps x sets with 30 lbs dumbbells.

Weekday schedule:

08:00- Saad wakes up :-)
08:30- Drink BOOST High Protein Shake (6g fat/ 33 g carbs (16g sugar) / 15 g protein)
09:00- At gym. Begin 5 minute stair master to warm up.
09:10- Weight Training:
10x3 30 lbs Dumbbell Flat Bench Press
10x3 40 lbs Dumbbell Shrug
10x3 12 lbs Side Dumbbell Lateral Raise
10x3 7 0lbs Chest Fly (Machine)
10x3 130 lbs Abdomen Sit-up (machine)

09:30- 30 Minutes Intense Running on Treadmill OR 30 minutes of elliptical (alternating days)

10:05- 35 Sit-ups on decline bench.

10:15- 100% Whey Protein powder l-Glutamine. Add whole bottle of Gatordate to my shaker bottle, shake, and enjoy. Total Nutritional Value: 40g Protein / 45g carbs (40g sugar) / 0g fat / 7g l-Glutamine

11:30- 5g L-Glutamine
12:20- Gyro sandwich.
03:00- 1 Apple
05:00- 1 Orange
08:30- Decent dinner

I usually drink equivalent of about 8 bottles of water throughout the day.

Following this schedule 4days/week, 1 day/week I play racquetball, and the other two days I don't do any exercises.

Results over the past four weeks:

Body Fat Percentage at 18% (decreased 2%) and body weight dropped to 173 lbs. These numbers fluctuate a lot (even on a daily basis), but at least I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.

I'm looking for a motivator who preferably knows about nutrition weight training and can help me achieve my goals. Of course, friendly comments/tips on my progress are always appreciated from ANYONE :-)

Nothin to say, I'm 17 and losing fat/gaining muscle is easy with time. :)

I am a triathlete trying to lose some weight so I can improve my times. I love traineo and the very motivational people on here.

Basic info: 5'9", 22 years old, mechanical engineer :)

I need to get back to 180lbs... I was almost there a few months ago! (I fell off the weightloss band wagon!)

Hi I'm finally using this thing again.


Took gaining nearly 10 LBS to get my ass in gear again.
Does'nt sound like much, but I can sure feel it on me!
Decided it was time for a reality check this morning....

I'm feeling vulnerable and frazzled but determined.

I hope you will hound my ass to stay on track..

Love
Iffer

Hey Im 19 and a college student and I live in Texas. My biggest goal is to lose forty lbs, and to tone legs and arms. I love to lift weights, and I uh...tolerate running.:)

20 year old college student here! I lost 50lbs. the summer of 2007, now I've gained some weight back due to stress and less time to exercise..and I NEED to drop it all back off! I'm coming back on here for help and support!

I'm moving to Asia sometime around May 2008. I refuse to be the stereotypical fat American.

Veni, vidi, vici!
