Perfectionist.

I've seen that recipe before! I just thought it was too much cheese. And I can add a few more carbs to my dinner since I don't work out until 9pm most days.

9pm workouts! Holy moly I'd never get to sleep.

I actually have NO problem going to sleep. I workout, shower, spend a little time with Skip then pass out. I'm usually asleep by 10:45-11.

I'm at the gym at 7am....then work about 9-9:15. Kick starts that metab first thing in the morning.

I'm walking out the door for work at 6:10. No way could I fit in a morning work out. On my days off I workout in the morning.

I tired working out a year ago at 6am and that lasted for about 2 weeks lol. Now i usually just workout around 6pm or 8pm.

Name is Josh. I was 225 last year. Now down to 188 in 13 months. I started going to a local fitness center that does bootcamp like classes. About 12 of us in class each session. The sessions are 1 hour long and include boxing, cardio, weight circuits and usually end with cardio. I have started to see my 6 abs return and have been very happy. I go 3-4 times per week and mostly to the 5am class as it gives me more energy throughout the day. I am a physical therapist so I stay pretty active also throughout the day. I am pretty good about eating breakfast to start my metabolism off but often want a good southern breakfast with Bacon and eggs and biscuit and gravy. To offset the biscuit and grave I often eat a mid morning snack followed by a light lunch and a mid afternoon snack. Often times supper is my problem. My wife and I cook at home so that helps but we are so good at it I just cant get enough. Then to top it all off I often times want a snack before bed. Overall I have done well but would like to see 175 and have a pretty hot body with a 6 pack to be quite honest. I am 25 and should still be well capable of acheiving it!! I would be interested in some recipes to help me out as eating is often what limits me from loosing as I work out consistantly and love it. I suspect in my workout class I burn between 800-1000 calories per instructor. Any help would be awesome. Thanks Alot!

Strengths: Love to workout; love vegetables and fruit; enjoy outdoor yard work; I only drink water with 1-2 sodas a month; I have learned to like chicken and pork grilled or baked with the helping of some Heinz 57 lol
Weakness: Potatoes Fried! Red meat Ribeye! Biscuit and gravy.( Oh did I mention I will not give on these lol I will only eat less of it!

Welcome Josh! Glad to have ya! 188 from 225 thats awesome! I bet youre in great shape these days! Sounds like you do very well with your workouts, sounds like you get your butt kicked.

As for food... Could you post up what you normally eat during the day? Like maybe give us an idea of what youre eating schedule is and what you like? Hopefully CFD will drop in and give you his opinion. I eat about five times a day and it keeps me from making bad choices or eating too much. Breafast, midmorning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. 175 sounds like a great goal but that will come from eating clean. Like camaroitalia said have you tried adding fish to your diet? I like tilapia and salmon. Delicious. And maybe you can try to find a healthier gravy and biscuit recipe and save that for your cheat meal. As for dinner, I understand that its hard to pass up 2nds, especially when its delicious. I portion out my plate and eat it and then wait 10 minutes. If I'm still hungry then I'll eat some more. But I'm usually not. And if I am I'll eat more of the veggies we cooked, instead of like meat/bread/pasta.

I wouldn't worry about ordering from Amazon. I order a TON of stuff from them....protein, protein shots, you name it. Always cheaper than local, especially GNC, and I get it in about 2-3 days. Can't go wrong there.

ok thanks! I will remember that for next time, i went into gnc and bought my gold standard. they were telling me monster milk is garbage, optimum nutrition was garbage, pro complex sucks... and that their brand was the best because it is cheaper.. i was like good for you

[Speedy1975]

Yeah, they're ass clowns. Optimum Nutrition is one of the best on the market.
