NEW YEARS RESOLUTION WEIGHT LOSS THREAD 2012

[kalimus]

You might try this site for workouts. They are really meant kind of augments, but here are preset goals (challenges). You can find an activity you like, find a challenge for it, and then get it done.

I pretty much already exercize as much as I can. I go to an aerobic level dance/exercize class 2-3 times a week, do 20-30 min of targeted exercizes every morning and plan to add in some weight work in the evenings. This has been the hardest for me to dicipline myself to do but whenever I start the keto or other type diet to drop the rest of this fat I will push myself to do it. I already take a multivitimine/mineral suppliment, have taken calcium (but am reconsidering this in light of recent research findings), glucosomine-condroitin (sp?), iron (Hx of enemia), & some other suppliments. I will re-read all this tonight, visit web sites, etc & try to absorb it all. Then make plans to start the new diet.

If you would like the most comprehensive book I've found on weight loss and nutrition I could suggest this to you or anyone interested in this. I've mentioned before Tom Venuto. He is the author of "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. It is available as an e-book. I've seen many such books and most of the authors push suppliments or their own personal agenda but he does not. I bought his book about 7 years ago and untill this day always get free updates, articles recipies and more. He does not try to sell you everything under the sun. The book is a bit over 300 pgs but will teach you everything there is to know about fat loss, it has a lot of info, food data bases, what works and what doesn't AND WHY or WHY NOT. The first part of the book is motivational, at first I thought, here we go what a mistake buying this was but I can honestly tell you this book is exceptional. If you read it from front to back everything falls in place and every question you have is covered. Here is a link if you are interested, it's a long read but I believe it is well worth it.

Hit 159 down from 190 in March.

Too lazy to work out like I want to.

Any ideas on how I can watch someone else workout but get the benefit on my body?

You've been watching Bonnie for a while now, how's that workin'out for ya

I must say I am quite happy and sore at this moment. This weeks workouts have been great, broke my previous best on some major lifts, it seemed to take forever to do it but hit 170 on my benches, 300 on my deadlifts and 225 on my squats and I'm still cutting. My ultimate goal is 200 on my benches, it might take me untill I'm about 65 but I'll do it or die trying LOL.

Hell, if that were possible we'd all be buff!!!

Congrats on the weight loss though!!

I finished the 12 week P90X program last week and started the P90X2 program today. The first disc (XCore) is a bit weird to be honest with you...introduces some interesting uses of foam rollers, medicine balls, and stability ball....but my abs are already starting to feel sore from it! "Plyocide" is on the agenda for tomorrow....hmmmmm...sounds a lot like suicide if you ask me!!

I might actually take progress pics this time...I think it really helps keep that motivation level up knowing you are going to share a progress pic every 30 days!


Speaking of pics....BONNIE when do we get to see your pics from your Daytona photoshoot!!!

Let me know how you like PX902. I have heard alot of people don't like it so I didn't buy it but I need something new.

Your leg power trumps mine. My squats are still lower than I would like. I actually do Romanian Deadlifts vice traditional ones, but I can do more weight with that than I can squat

Squats and benches have always been a sticking point because of one of my bike crashes. My left foot was pretty much detached so it's difficult to bend my ankle and keep it flat on the floor when I lift. During my strength days I take my squats to parallel, any more and my heel lifts, on hypertrophy days I reduce weight to about 80% and can go below parallel. Benches are my biggest problem due to breaking the collar bones, this limits me more than strength which really erks me because I feel like my muscles can handle more but not much I can do but creep up ever so slowly.

I've got a friend who squats much more than he deadlifts, can't understand that one.

My bench/rom deadlift/squat are actually all fairly close. I can max out on bench at about 235. I can rep 225 on squats, but not more than about 5 or 6. Rom deadlifts I can rep 225 with very little issue.

My biggest problem with squats is that I haven't been doing them for very long. I can leg press a ton, but I've had lower back problems, so I've been apprehensive of squatting for many years. My bench is held back mostly from my shoulders. And deadlift is also lower back related. I get muscle spasms, so I'm very careful.

I also list fairly slow. Usually 2 seconds down, 2 seconds up. Squat only parallel to the floor, never below.

Well this morning the fiance ran his 1.5 mile in 12 minutes! And that was after he did the situps and pushups they have to do. He is feeling really proud right now {and so am I}. Thats a good time if he can do that again on Saturday.
