Glad to hear everyone is doing well.
As for stalling losing weight. Consider that while losing weight you may be putting on muscle. You have to start looking at the scale, but also how your clothes fit and such.
The scale can sometimes lie. Also, depending on your sodium intake your body may be holding more water. More water = more weight.
Keep up the good work guys and gals!

hey Point 5,
can you give me the details on your diet? I think I am gonna give it a go.

v4, fuck it.
Even if it is shaving years off your life*, wouldn't you rather look great when you're young?
Also ... if you want to lose some more pounds, shave the winter beard, haha.
* It probably isn't. My thing is just not eating period for days at a time but it's not really because I don't want to, I'm just never hungry.

morilla, I'm going to email you tonight with what I'm doing. give it a 2 week trial and see what happens.
v4, I think you need to elaborate more about the specifics of the workouts that you're doing. that's a very interesting post you submitted yesterday.

haha liquid. I think everyone is their own worst critic. The time has come in my life for me to leave the "comfortably chubby" zone and really hone in on a challenge. I mean, my bodyweight was hanging out in the 240's, my size 36 jeans were getting tight, I don't feel comfortable with my shirt off anywhere, not even my own house. So, my goal is to maintain my muscular build (I've been weight training seriously for damn near 16 years now) and to just shed this body fat and mold my diet into something beside whatever-the-hell-i-want-to-eat. I think longevity has officially become the keyword for me.

In a month I'm going on a cruise and island hopping...
I look great but I think I'm officially going to start doing more than just random push-ups, and pilates that I remember about once a week.

Point5,
My workouts are not the point, they are little to none in the scheme of my plan.
On average, here's my workout 3 days a week
upper body only, (i have great legs)
12-15 reps of:
declined, inclined, and normal bench press 2-3 sets at 105lbs
70lb curls with the bench press bar
20lbs in each hand flyouts for my shoulders but that workout cannot be burning that many calories, it doen't take but 20 minutes
the dips machine i like because i feel the results inside, like i said earlier, i can't see them through the flab, but i can feel them starting to define
the concern lies in the diet or lack there of, no more butter covered salmon, grease dripping brats, yellow with butter mashed potatoes, and marinated chicken. these weren't once a week meals but everyday meals.
that is what I stopped.
my diet is now california chicken pizzas if any, which are actually really good for you, moderate portions of sushi, turkey meat spaghetti, oatmeal, soups, and lots of bread. i don't have the protein intake i once did, but my workout has never been sufficient to put it all to use anyway
hence the mental decision to cut the food, not to starve myself, but cut the intake to match that of my activity level.
to put it simply, why try put to a gallon of water in a container everyday if i'm only using half of that gallon anyway? the overflow has to go somewhere.
thanks for asking me to explain Point5, i'm not anorexic, i think i'm just sensible now about what i eat. maybe as spring comes around i'll add more than the 2 miles a day to my run and go back to eating every delicious thing i know how to cook.
Also, if you'd like, before you get too into your wordpress blog, i can set up an area at fit club so it's the same thing as you're doing but more visible to the visitors of fit club instead of having another link to check, let me know :)

Any fitclub sports fan, check out my new blog at http://www.jockitch.wordpress.co…... I'm going to actually try to maintain this one. I might get that food site back up and running soon too.
FYI, the site's been updated with the NT Fitclub link, of course.

fuck... everyone around me here at work eating cheeseburgers and fries. My brain and stomach are spinning... wish I had a separate office space.

I know what you mean dude.
I ate 6oz flank steak. 1 cup broccoli and 1/2 cup carrots for lunch while the rest of the team ate mcdonalds.
It's rough.

thanks for the info Point5, starting it tomorrow!
- Point50
good luck morilla! I hope it works out for you. You really should see and feel the difference in two weeks.

for real! I've got this one guy in the office always buying everyone lunch. Pizza one day, KFC, TacoBell... WTF I do the best I can, but I think i'm gonna need to pass on the free lunches. At least eating better doesn't make you tired
- CincodeMayo0
If you got a Trader Joe's near ya, pick up the flank steak wrapped around red peppers, basil and goat cheese. It's totally satisfying. I didn't feel like driving all the way to TJ's last night, so I went to the store, got some beef, peppers, basil and goat cheese and made it myself. It's a winning combo. Beats pizza with a stick.

10lbs in one month started December 26th. w00t!
waiting for the fat to disintegrate off my cheeks on my face....my face has never looked this chunky....

looks like we're tic for tac liquid! So glad everyone got in here and got this started... my progress is just fantastic right now. I've already started wearing clothes from the top of the closet that were too small all last year!
