Just going to share my goal/target weight: 254lbs by May 3rd, 2011. I'm going to lose 21lbs by that time based on an average of 1.5lbs lost per week over the course of 14 weeks....

Without knowing the composition of your diet, I'd say add more protein as a larger percentage of your caloric intake as part of your diet. So if right now protein makes up about 20% (or 360...

I think getting into the rhythm or habit in general is difficult. I'm essentially changing my diet and I find it pretty difficult.

In the past I tended to eat one, maybe two meals a day. Generally...

Well, you're using your leg muscles to move your entire body mass, so it's quite apparent that running builds up leg muscles. Not only are your legs working to propel you forward and away from the...

I've never done this before. It'll be interesting to track progress via forum. Good luck to all.

Yeah, I agree with that. I am hoping by keeping logs of what I eat daily and my workout sessions that it evolves into habit. It seems to make sense that after a month of keeping track of every meal...

I'm with you, man. I'm 22, 6 foot, and 254. I need to be 200 or less.

Right now, your immediate concern being diet, I'd recommend making a log of food consumption with times and calories. It's...

Stretching is a must. Give yourself about 15 seconds per muscle group/stretch and breathe throughout each stretch. Don't hold your breath while stretching. Give your muscles air while you work...
