Yea I just realized I did it wrong lol.

Back to the drawing board.

I've been working out steadily since Jan 1st. but lately I haven't been making any gains. I also need to expedite my workouts so I figured I'd try out this program.

I played football all through...

Thank God for this thread. It keeps things so simple.

16 weeks in I'm 34lbs down. Keep up the good work everyone.

I've reached my first goal: getting out of the 300lbs range. Next up 250lbs...it doesn't get much easier than this. If I eat something...

if you're lifting 2lbs common sense and logic would tell you that's not heavy weight unless you're a 2 year old....


But for the noobs, lifting heavy mean lifting in a rep rang of 8-12 reps with...

Lifting HEAVY means lifting a weight that makes it hard to finish the last 2-3 reps...

12 weeks in. I've lost 28 pounds so far. Last week I had a super burrito, nine pieces of See's candy, four mini muffins and have a bundt cake and still lost 3 lbs. I love this lifestyle change...

^ what he said...

I've been following this plan since Jan 1st and I've lost 25lbs...

Is it okay to go beyond 1.5g of protein. Say you weigh 312 and usually get 190-200g in but sometimes you get 260-300g...? As long as you stay under your calorie goal of course

Yup you can eat all of that as long as you're at a deficit and hit your protein requirement

I cut cardio out and lost 4lbs. But I agree with what you're saying. It's just a bit discouraging when your weight doesn't change and you eat at a deficit and workout hard. But rather than quit I use...

Keep your head up. I also started Jan 1st and have lost 11lbs total but feel I have stalled as far as weightloss goes.

I also have noticed my gut doesn't buldge out as much, i can tighten my belt...

I only lost 1LB this last week. Which made me laugh since I did at least 30 mins of cardio every day on top of lifting heavy...but it is what it is. If I don't lose anything this week I will adjust...

Follow the three rules. Why don't you belong to a gym? Most gyms even have a $20 plan that allows you to go 3-5 days a week. Lift heavy and get your protein while at a deficit. Pretty straight...

Awesome work! You're on the right path, keep up the good work!

It's not mandatory, I do it but only to ensure I hit my calorie goal for the day and to make up for any snack calories I may forget to log

Definitely one of the top transformations and very motivational for us big guys that are working towards the same goal!

I like your attitude about stretch marks. I don't mind mine, they show me...

I do 10 mins for a warm up then 30 after the weights. I sometimes do HIIT if I have energy but it is usually just steady. I only do cardio to ensure I hit my calorie goal for the day as sometimes...

I lost the 2lbs i gained plus one more for a total of three. I added some cardio to the end of my workout and picked up the pace between sets. I don't mind the small amount of cardio as us makes up...
