I want to lose 15 lbs!

10/29/2008 12:50:32 AM

i'd give you a cookie, but that'd be counter-productive. how about a carrot?



[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 12:59 AM. Reason : *crosses fingers for an even better carrot*]

10/29/2008 12:50:53 AM

I think I've gotten laid twice in the past six weeks.

10/29/2008 1:32:01 AM

i think i found it

10/29/2008 1:47:23 AM

I want to eliminate that stubborn belly fat
surely there is a pill I can take

nah but for serious
what exercises will target my beergut and mantits?

10/29/2008 2:29:20 AM

diet and ab exercises...basically any kind of muscle growth will help

but its all about your diet


and im hoping to gain 15 lbs in the next 2 months of muscle

10/29/2008 2:34:54 AM

Me too Pound loss buddies or something

"diet and ab exercises...basically any kind of muscle growth will help"

Ab exercises will NOT target a beergut. And you DON'T want muscle growth in the mid-section. For any other part of the body that is flabby (chest, arms, legs, etc), muscle growth would make it look less flabby, as the ratio of muscle to fat would increase.

But the mid-section is one part where you do not want any muscle growth (just muscle strength and endurance). And in fact, if you grow your abs to a massive size and still have fat on top of them, you will look even flabbier.

Cardio is the only way to reduce a beergut. (and fat on other parts of the body as well)

Try HIIT: High Intensity Interval Training... it is way more effective at reducing flab than just plain cardio. Look it up on wiki or any good fitness site.

And yes, diet is just as important. Cut out all refined carbs and grains/grain products. That means no white bread, no white rice, no cookies, cakes, snacks, refined cereals, sugary drinks, candies, etc. Eat 5-6 times a day. Reduce the percentage of carbs in your diet (eat unrefined carbs/grains, but also reduce how much you eat of them). Eat plenty of fruits and veggies, and good quality lean protein. And drink tons of water.

i'm no expert, but i don't think it's really even possible to put on 15lbs of lean muscle in 2 months.

pretty much already covered but diet is #1 IMO..cardio just behind that

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 7:37 AM. Reason : ^not cleanly and/or without steroids or something. 1lb/wk of real muscle is doable]

10/29/2008 7:37:25 AM

i lost like 10
then gained like a million

Yup.
Back in February and March, I was working out way more, but hadn't changed my eating habits much, and I struggled to even lose five pounds.

It's a damn shame, because I love food so much, but me and moderation are gonna have to come to an understanding

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 8:55 AM. Reason : <3]

10/29/2008 8:52:17 AM

I can offer up lots of healthy, filling, low-calorie meal options if you need some help in the moderation department. (But they're all vegetarian.)

And shit, I lost 15 pounds and all my pants literally fall off of me now. That can make a BIG difference.

orlly

10/29/2008 9:27:01 AM

OK not like I stand up and they fall off just yet, but they easily come off without unzipping them. I really need to go shopping.

10/29/2008 9:29:50 AM

i was to the "stand up and they fall off" stage

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 9:30 AM. Reason : i was a mess ]

10/29/2008 9:30:37 AM

Use what I use


MSG!
Cheap, easy, and fills you up everytime! Even says Flavor Enhancer right on the bag!

10/29/2008 9:31:47 AM

Yeah but you lost 50, right?

10/29/2008 9:31:54 AM

congrats!

10/29/2008 9:33:59 AM

yeah...like i said...

i was a mess


i think the clothes i have now would fall off of me if i lost 15 more pounds though

i would look like a skeleton at that weight even though i'm far from it now



but congrats to you and ambrosia

10/29/2008 9:34:03 AM

... YOU KNOW

10/29/2008 9:35:47 AM

I, too, just took a massive dump.

10/29/2008 9:51:51 AM

0EPII1 hit the nail on the head.

10/29/2008 1:01:02 PM

well if you keep doing it, then you'll look like a fit retard

10/29/2008 1:06:29 PM

i think since like sept 5 i've gained probably 7 pounds

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 1:07 PM. Reason : ]

10/29/2008 1:07:19 PM

A VALID POINT

10/29/2008 1:08:11 PM

may not be possible to gain 15 pounds but im gonna try

lifting all the time and eating all the time as well...gotta mass up

10/29/2008 1:09:12 PM

what?

10/29/2008 1:11:26 PM

I've lost about 20 with dieting and the couch-to-5K plan

I'm most surprised at how far I can jog without feeling like I'm going to die

10/29/2008 1:14:56 PM

i know i've said it before, but congrats!

have fun with those steroids

10/29/2008 1:32:54 PM

either that or water from the creatine

10/29/2008 1:33:26 PM

i lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks on the south beach diet

it sucked at first not having any carbs but once your body gets used to it, its fine.

I've kind of gone off the diet since my wedding and have gained back 4 pounds so I probably need to start the diet over again.

10/29/2008 1:34:10 PM

^ you'll never keep that weight off for good.

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 1:35 PM. Reason : w/ southbeach and such]

10/29/2008 1:35:23 PM

South Beach Parasite

Eat dirt till you get parasites to eat your food for you

10/29/2008 1:36:28 PM

yea the water and bloat from teh creatine isnt gonna be fun

10/29/2008 1:37:25 PM

^^^yeah, I have figured that out

I felt so much better after I lost that 10 pounds. I wasn't as tired as I used to be.


I think I just need to exercise more and monitor what I eat for snacks. Snacks are my weakness. I love a bowl of cookie crisp cereal for a snack!

[Edited on October 29, 2008 at 1:39 PM. Reason : f]

10/29/2008 1:38:44 PM

or just go ahead and cut that out entirely

10/29/2008 1:39:58 PM

congratulations. i am very jealous!

i hit a serious plateau. even though i've only eaten 800-1000 calories/day for 6 years, i just recently stopped losing weight. my trainer had me double my intake and i've lost 3 pounds since then .

hopefully i can lose another 15. i'd LOVE to be down to 120. if i ever get there, i'll probably be naked all the time.
