About 2 months ago I was in a very similar situation to yours; I tore some ligaments in my leg/foot in a motorcycle wreck and was on the verge of giving up on the gym because it hurt to do anything....
Just got dumped this am for a bunch of BS, my threads on the front page if anyone wants to read. Resisting the urge to make contact and try to get her back, also trying to not be a beta *******.

Thanks man! Keep at it, 180 is a tough goal but you can get there. I know I really started to feel lean once I got down to ~190, thats when I actually started to notice the progress.
Honestly, gyno has always kinda been in the back of my mind because I keep getting leaner but I can't seem to lose the man-tits. I don't have health insurance, so getting it checked/fixed would be...
Well, I honestly just cut from like January to May, hung at ~2100 calories/day and did ****-tons of cardio. For the first few months I was really strict with my diet, but towards the end of it I just...
Thanks bro! Oddly enough my traps are probably my least directly-targeted muscle group. All I really do is shrugs and I lump that into my back routine.
Progress is being made bud, keep at it. I had the same issue as you; my gut/chest was the absolute last area my body wanted to lose fat, just keep at it. Dont get discouraged.

I also had great success with a chiropractor for TMJ issues. It hurt like hell while he was "adjusting" but it made the pain die down considerably. After that he showed me these stretches/exercises...
Like others have said I bet you're not accurately counting calories, but you did lose some weight so you've got to be in a deficit already. You could add more cardio to your routine and probably see...
Hm, so I'm gonna break this down a bit. According to a few caloric calculators I used it looks like your average needs to maintain at your current height/weight is just about 3000 cals a day and...
Don't worry about some of the dumb-dumbs you find trolling around, everybody has to start somewhere and being that you've got an injury to work around I think posting and asking these questions was...
Do you count calories at all? If not, you should start. The basics to weight loss are calories in<calories out. So its really important to know how many calories you're consuming and how many you...
The general idea is that you should shoot to lose between 1.5-2lbs a week to retain the most possible muscle mass so a 1000 deficit might be a little too much, but its hard to generalize because...
