I don't know if it will help, but this analogy has really been one of my favorites since I began my prep: Every day's work is like putting money into a piggy bank. Every meal, every trainining session, every bout of cardio - Another deposit. Sure, it's only a quarter here and a dime there, but months down the line when you break that sumbitch open - BOOM! There's a big payoff.
Nice job dude but remember that you've still got a long way to go. Acute actions don't necessitate change, habitual actions do. Keep it up!

Keep up the solid work man =) Driving range is always fun to get off much needed stress / fun!
As for the Macros you could just do what most people post. Just post the Pictures (Maybe say what you had Lunch: Grilled Chicken / Sweet Potato / Broccoli) then at the end of the pictures write up what you had that wasn't shown(Like your protein shake or yogurt) and very last list just your end day total that livestrong gives you.
It makes it a lot easy to read, saves a ton of space as well. Almost hurts your eyes scrolling down looking for your work/day log

I do like seeing them, but no need to post all of them just for me if every1 else is against it. Still like seeing totals though. When was the last time you checked your weight? Next weigh-in?
Also when you have time another week maybe, you could post a p90x workout example (interested to see what it is like)Last edited by determined4000; 08-11-2010 at 07:35 PM.

Well today was kind of interesting I woke up really late and got a good breakfast in and my shake and went right into studying for my tests. When i pulled my head out of the book I saw it was almost 5 and I had to be at work in 20 mins so I made a quick shake and took off to work!
So I missed lunch and as work went on I was getting super hungry it was around 9 pm. So I stopped at jersey mikes and got one of their large subs with lots of veggies and no condiments on wheat bread. I am not sure if the measurements are correct on the calories ect livestrong didnt have a exact copy of what I ate just a medium sandwhich that I had to add 2 servings to make a large.
Anyways I am concerned is this considered binging because I ate crappy for lunch and a afternoon snack or just my body needing food because I have been eating clean and my metabolism is going well? I mean I powered through that sandwhich like none other and after I was done didnt feel bloated or anything just felt more or less energized.
The macros were pretty good for the day maybe shaved off 300 calories from that sandwich and 40-60 carbs, but not so bad for pounding out that big dinner.
Today was a rest day and I am hoping the scale is back at the gym tomorrow so I can give you guys a reading of my progress trust me I am as eager as everyone else what I weigh.
Ok till tomorrow guys thanks for reading!{{**Misc Cologne Crew**}}

you were hungry because you did TWO shakes instead of whole food
and ate very dense food like granola, thats 500 calories of nothing really
Cook in bulk
Always have a tupperware of a serving of chicken and 2 sevings veg (< 200 calories but very filling and good protein, fiber)
I am less than half your size and would starve if I ate like you (rice, granola, shakes, etc.)
Think about how big your stomach is and you had went all day and only put 1c of yogurt and 1/4 of nuts in itLast edited by determined4000; 08-11-2010 at 09:09 PM.

I understand but I was asking did I binge or was it just being hungry cause I didn't eat lunch? Also im out of chicken at the moment I just have fish + grass fed beef =(
I work on the road so its either sandwich or nuts for me I could bring a cooler I guess if I owned one but I dont so thats out =(
I really ate this way today because I spent 3 hours with my nose in a book =( then had to go to work
Also I posted a routine of p90x for you{{**Misc Cologne Crew**}}

Hey bro, I was extremely overweight and went from diet to diet and found the best and truest way to lose weight is to just change your life style. In my oppinion you should do nothing drastic - eat more protein you will feel more satisfied and less likely to binge. Completely remove or save for cheat days (junkfood/ice cream, candy, cake, etc), Work out every single day. Always keep your protein intake high, and try to not eat as much saturday fat.
This will naturally make you eat less calories since you are eating more satiating protein, and never junk food. You will strive to life a active life style everyday building muscle and increasing your BMR, etc etc.
The point is, the reason you became overweight is the fatty lifestyle. Now change your life style eat normal. Do not do anything extreme. Start lifting weights and doing cardio. Do yoga or something that burns lots of calories whilst also being a fun/social/hobby
Good luck man. I went from 250LB's to 185LB's and really cut, even started modeling! whod of thought. I changed simple things, white to brown rice, no pizza before bed - more like protein shakes or beef jerky. The Gym was making me lose weight but then I got obsessed with boxing and all of a sudden I am in the ring 4 hours a day drilling moves. Before I knew it with out even realizing I was working out... I am 185LB's from 250
follow the same route man
good luck

6 lb loss since last weigh in 337lbs!
started at 355 down to 337 total loss so far is 18 lbs in 27 days seems things are working pretty good so far! I prolly need to up my weightlifting to more than 3 times a week so I am going to save some money to get my own membership instead of being a guest on my wifes!
Overall satisfied with where I am right now my goal was to stay ahead of the curve of 1-2 pounds per week and I am attaining that right now!Last edited by Jhudi; 08-12-2010 at 02:27 PM.

No she went out and got a membership without me knowing a few months back and surprised me with it so we could go together. Our money is really tight budget wise and I am saving money to get my own membership so I can go more than 3 times a week! Its rough out here in the Nati =(

New arms workout coming tomorrow going to be trying the start heavy and do 4 sets dropping weights each time with no rest inbetween should be interesting if I can keep up. I liked the idea because you bust ass and then get done with your workout fairly quickly and burn alot of calories and energy fast!
I gotta be honest I didn't feel like doing P90x today kind of gets repetitive and boring I have saved 80 bucks so far for my gym membership should have enough by next week so I can do my own thing.
I didn't like my macros today but I was on the run all day and it was decent feel alittle bloated after dinner think its cause all the rice and water!{{**Misc Cologne Crew**}}

"I didn't like my macros today"
Do you plan meals ahead or track while you go?
Should have noticed carbs were high and protein was low and ditched the rice at that last meal for more protein + all that sauce= nutritionless carbs (way more than you think http://www.calorieking.com/foods/cal...8gc2F1Y2U.html)
remember carbs come last
I know you love your rice though
for the sauce, try this
Gen. Tsao’s sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2-1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2-4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2-1 cup of chicken stock
- 2-3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1/2 can of Coke ZeroLast edited by determined4000; 08-13-2010 at 09:01 PM.

Some days I plan out meals I am low on proteins right now in the house so it happens when I dont keep stocked which on a budget sucks. Planning on a sams club run this weekend for chicken and beef.
Today was a track as I go cause I was running around alot. I knew everything fit in macros wise, but I would have liked fats higher protein alittle higher and the carbs down maybe 50 grams{{**Misc Cologne Crew**}}
