Sup cf,
So i've been kinda fat all my life, im 1m73 @ 90 kg atm
& i'm sick of being fat, cuz i basicly have man boobs
so i feel rly uncomfortable when i walk around & stuff.
I did alot of sports when i was younger but i never rly lost weight,
i developed a fair amount of muscles because i did swimming in competition.
I should get around 17% body fat (i have no idea how much i have now) & then i can start working on my chest. At least thats what ive learned from a few video's so far, i guess ill need a diet.
I was wondering if some of you guys have gone though the same stuff
or have some tips for me or smthing.
Cheers

E: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8hBCzPTvB8 watch this one too :D , watch all of it , pretty cool :DDD
i usually never listen to this real music stuff :D but i kinda admit that this is prety amazing ;O
imo
thats the only time i lost a little weight >.>
frequent cardio is much harder to overtrain
Currently I'm doing a full body workout 3-4 times a week and doing cardio 3-4 times a week at the days between the muscle workout. Doing this the 5th week in a row now and so far I don't have any problems with that. :-O
There are still days without any sports though :-P
There are just too many parties and bbqs at the moment :-D
"Luckily" exams are coming up, so the next few weeks should be good for some more weight loss. I'm 100% sure that I'll crack the 100kgs this month!
sure, he's got wayyyyyyyyyy more muscle mass than crossfire's total userbase, but he's still fucking MASSIVE
hard to imagine you were that weight man, when i saw you at lan i wouldn't have estimated over 120-130
makes your transformation all the more impressive though, congrats man
i admire you :D
gj & keep it goin! ^^
My desired weight is around 90-95 kgs (185cm tall) and I want to reach that by the end of august!
Bin mal gespannt, in wie weit sich das alles noch verändert über die nächsten 1-2 Jahre. Ich gehe einfach mal davon aus, dass ich den Sport weiterhin so durchziehen werde :-P
full body 3 x a week is fine, even with additional cardio if you're adjusted to that, but lifting 5 times per week without an appropriate split and adjusted recovery would lead to the aforementioned problems
Coach at the gym gave me a plan and showed me around the machines and excercises and by looking at the pictures with the highlighted muscles it should cover up pretty much everything.
Sorry, no idea what the exact names for each machine/excercise are :)
As long as you don't overburden your back/neck, you should be fine doing gym even 5 times a week.
If you've been training for a couple of years and your recovery is pretty good, maybe, otherwise you're simply not going hard enough
Although if he's never done any training with free weights, of course it would be imperative to start out with smaller weights to properly learn the correct techniques and adjust to it.
I wouldn't consider myself a total untrained noob but also not an experienced bodybuilder :-)
different ball game
e: not the desired weight, but bodyfat percentage :)
basically, you'll be fine if you're sitting on machines doing curls, but if you're lifting heavy on squats and deadlifts for example, then you'll find yourself in trouble pretty soon

.. GL
but it really just needs a mix of eating the same amout of food (or a little less), and just more exercise, simple as that
With anything like losing weight or gaining muscle the best tip I can give you is to do it with a group of mates or even just a friend will do. It will keep you both motivated and also you wont want to let the other person down by quitting early. As soon as you notice a change in your body it will spur you on more and more.
If you look good and feel good you will be a much happier person. Healthy body = Healthy mind.
70kg
12% body fat
skinny arms & legs, and fat stomach, so i'm cool
try a routine like starting strength (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=998224) if you don't know what exercises are best for weightlifting
i love doing stuff like farmer's walk, and i really wanna try sled drags and prowler pushes also
cut some weight if you want visible abs via diet/cardio
if you want a stronger core, i find things like front squats and farmer's walk completely rape my abs
for something more direct, try 'NS situps' - not many vids around but you essentially do situps on a decline bench, but hold at parallel for 5 seconds, then sit up and down to parallel, hold for 5 seconds, repeat etc.
the reason i really like this exercise is that you can add weight easily and you can make it difficult... i'm not especially strong and i can do crunches/sit ups whatever for a few minutes, so this is much more challenging
if you're doing more than 15 reps per set on ab exercises, you need something more difficult/heavy
But if you're at home just doing standard Abs exercises and if you can steal your mums or sisters Swiss ball it’s easier. If you really want to turn up the pain you can add scissor kicks this will help work the lower Abs. But the only thing that helps is doing it a lot and often just hard work I’m afraid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we7uLmmMHOM - Swiss ball which I strongly recommend however you won’t be able to get out of bed in the morning haha.
e: oh, and drink shitloads of water
Would also like to know :) Although i am not so big, 182 and 76-78 kilos.
I heard like rice isnt so good etc.
my advice try less ET
i'm 2.0 % only :)
65kg
7% of fat
too lazy to work out

follow this and you can look like that guy -_-
me the fatty need to get back @ sport :P
they earn easily some fat but it lookslike it's impossible to lose.
I study at a sports school and from what I've learned there is you should keep swimming&
try some running now and than. If you're trying really hard but you can't loose anything
you should go see a dietist. It's not a shame to go there even if youre not that fat.
I don't know much aboit it but, the product called "Alli" might help some?
goodluck anyways!
If it's the same product we are talking about? Some pills that reduce the fat absorption of the body by some percentage.
I've seen it on tv and I thought it looked pretty "professional & believable".
But I guess there are more fine-working products which make use of the same princip (-2kg->-3kg) as Alli.
basically what you should do is start a program called SS, eat a lot of oats and squat 3 days a week. if you believed in god, his name is now Mark Rippetoe. he also goes by the nickname Rippletits.
GODSPEED
When you come to your desired weight, start hitting the gym or just do some excercises at home and go swimming a lot (it's summer anyway).
Not only a good movie but also an inspiration to not lose weight but put on muscles instead.
I started ofc by paying attention to food sources, low fat low calorie and high protein instead. Take chicken over beef and leave out any pork/pig meat as the fats in pork are very hard to work off. Fish such as tuna is also nice.
Leave out snacks!! No potato chips or candybar, if you do really hunger for a snack take some crackers or simple grain cookies. DO NOT eat after 8pm as in your sleep you can't burn fats nor calories which means you will do the opposite of loosing weight.
Exercise, on 3 days in the week i set my alarmclock an hour early to do some cardio(+-30 minutes). Because you havent eaten alot yet your body has to take energie from reserves such as fat and leftover sugers. After that have a protein rich breakfast but not a big breakfast(like 2 eggs on brown bread and some thee without sugar). If you have sports, don't go to gym the days you train, you don't want to outrun your body as you'll just start to eat more. You can workout 5 days a week, but be sure to switcx cardio and muscle(first months do cardio only! When you do muscle you gain weight as muscle weighs more than fat so you'll feel like your not loosing weight and it can demotivate you!). Try monday wednesday friday cardio(running, cycling, swimming are fine) and after a month go tuesday thursday for muscle(tuesday upperbody and thursday lowerbody) muscles will show also with less training as long as your not having that extra wintercoat ;).
And however some find it emberrasing.... Ask people around you(mom dad bro's sisters friends) to get a minimal amount of candy or sweet or chips into the house, taking away the 'temptation' of a nice snack. At my home we decided to have a special cabin in the kitchem which is like off limit for me:P.
Can't say alot more than good luck and if you suddenly gain some weight then dont give up as you probably just have to take a huge shit soon!!:P
Oh and btw, if you step on the scale. Try recreating the same weighing moment every day. Like before of when u get out of bed, doing it on different times of the day everytime will get you results that arent precise;) and its best to have em precise!!.
That's not true. The body repairs itself during sleep and ofc that burns calories, also muscles, brain etc. are still working. You can even boost that by leaving out carbs at dinner.
Theoretically it doesn't matter when you eat, however when you eat late your sleep might not be that deep and you will probably weigh more in the morning compared to an early dinner.
Gotta support you on the snacking part though! That's probably one of the biggest problems for everyone out there and has a huge impact on weight.
Also, as you said, you can't eat what's not in your house. Luckily I live on my own during the week so I don't have any problems with eating candy or other junk. But when I'm back at my mum's place for a weekend now and then, oh dear... :-P
EAT LESS! (dunno how to make this bold and bigger font)
Honestly, going to the gym will help but if you start to eat more because your using more calories it's not gunna help.
Think about what you eat on a day to day basis.
- Cut out any kind of soda or very sugary drinks (this includes juices you get from the store) and replace with water.
- Eat healthy, no more Maccy D's or KFC. But eat vegetables and unfried foods.
I know many people including myself that have lost a few pounds by sticking to these rules. Honestly sugar and fat are your enemy, if you know what you eat and avoid the bad things and stop with the bad habits, it's pretty easy to lose weight.
Go to the gym to gain some more muscle when losing weight.
wrong.
Eat small meals every 2-3 hours.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6u19Z0BSAI for explanation
Wanna lose weight, make it so that less calories go in. If your gaining weight you eat too much, or more than your body needs. Just cut out soda and junk food and you'll go a long way.
I've been seeing these journals pretty often lately, and everyone is wrong. A healthy diet is so much more important than what musces you train on what days. Fuck that. Be reasonable, you are what you eat.
It's healthy to work out but unless you are seriously fat it's not your focal point when losing weight.
You can eat kilos of vegetables for a small chocolate bar, so in the end you're actually eating more :-)
Signed!
Tomorrow morning I'll be chocolate porridge and banana. And probably also some nuts!
That picture is pretty old already as well though, I'm around 118kgs there. I'll make a new pic this week and upload it to my profile here (if I don't forget it :-))
9:00 100grams wheat
12:00 100g tuna and salad

18:00 100g fish + salad + rice
21:00 100g cottage cheese
