Hi guys long time. Will update with weight tomorrow. Just got back from a nice workout and also I played basketball with some people at an outdoor court close to where I live.

Bump. Just got back from the gym. Switched up my workout this week where I lift first and then do cardio instead of cardio first. I was able to DB chest press 55 1x10, 1x8 and 60 1x8, 1x6. First time ever I even attempted to lift over 50 srs

[RICHSTRONG]

Juss saw this thread. Dayum, man..I'm rooting for you bro. srs. We all just a PM away if you ever get that depressed again.

[HoustonMiscer]

I am between 184 and 185. My current lifting routine and cardio seems to be working very well right now. I am getting stronger and able to lift higher weight and it seems like the fat is coming off. Haven't seen drastic change in fat loss yet but will post pics at about 175, srs.

[xvicknumber7x]

i'm sure your weight loss would be glaringly obvious to anyone but yourself. keep up the good work brah.

[vadsie]

Love how helpful the misc is towards others for bodybuilding goals. In on awesome thread.

[EatnCleans]

In to support another H-Town Miscer.

Sounds like you need a new family fella, that is not true family.

I have been in the same boat as you and you are not alone.

I have been and currently wayyyy more overweight than you and I have been on my journey for 1 year now and lost aprox. 65lbs with aprox. 30lbs or so more to go.

Diet is #1 GYM is #2, this is for me and I firmly beleive it. You can miss days in the gym but for us guys who need to lose weight, we need to stay consistent as possible with our diet. I splurge, I don't kill myself on a "bro diet" and this is what has worked for me this time, as well as making the choice to make it happen.

There is no outside motivation really, if you don't have it deep inside then eventually you will fail. Don't do it for the womens, or your family ect...ect...

Get to it fella, we all have faith in you.

[FergM]

Late in on this thread, good luck OP. Check out Steve Cook's 8x8 if you want to switch up programs. Intense but it will get you fuarking Mr Shreddy McShredshred.




We're all gonna make it

[alphafreak]

The problem OP is that you lack discipline and the willpower to commit to diet and training you think you want to be in shape and looking good but you don't want it badly enough because if you did you would do what it takes to get it, at the end of the day you are your own worst enemy.
