QFT. But warm up the muscles first with lighter lifts, otherwise you'll just tear them up.

Bodybuilding.com A great place for every goal, male or female.

OW!

Just went on my second run since I departed the Navy in March of 2007. 2 years and 45 lbs later and I'm in pain. But it felt good (after I vomited and hacked up a lung), although my wife was ready to call an ambulance.

Maybe 30 minute runs are not quite the thing to do quite yet....but that's what I had to do before to stay in shape and want desperately to be at that level again...if I "take it easy" I'm afraid I'll cop out of every exercise I do.

Also was only able to squeeze out 20 pushups and 60 crunches. The former me is crying.

I'm in.

Current Weight: 207
Goal Weight: 180-185

Currently going to Bally's 3 nights a week just hitting the bike and doing some running (trying to build up my lungs again).

Starting March I'll start Weight Training on MWF and cardio on TTH.

Don't forget to warm up those muscles before your workout!!

Why the heck not. Fitness is never a bad thing.

Current weight: ~185 (6 ft)
Goal: ~175

I'm gonna run/jog between an hour and an hour and a half a day. (or ~3 miles) And start drinking more water to offset any food cravings. Don't need any muscle...just a little less of the other stuff. This is the easiest routine given my schedule. Here's to hoping!

As I understand it, you're body doesn't give a rats ass about where fat is stored. The areas with the most fat will lose the most fat. Those with the least will lose the least.

Edited first post! Lost 4.2 lbs in my first week. Not bad considering I'm not going hardcore just yet, all I've done is start rolling into an exercise routine and cut a ton of sugar out of my diet and cut my portions in half. So I'm 10% to my goal!
