So I decided I needed to get into shape....
    #6428847 - 01/05/07 06:15 PM (17 years, 2 months ago)

So last night I finally had enough of being out of shape.I printed up a calandar and put my goal down on august 1st to loose 40 lbs!

I hit it off great, today, I wrode hard on my bike for 15-30 mins, basically till I was exhausted. It was COLD and rainy but I still did my goal, which was to ride Monday through Friday. Im hoping to do this till Im riding at least 1 hour a day.

Wish me luck!

I'm glad to see you taking an interest in your health. I wish more people did. Allow me to lay some knowledge on ya. In order to lose body fat, which is usually the goal of anyone trying to lose weight, you have to have a daily caloric deficit. I also recommend eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day to increase your metabolism and let your body know that you're not starving.

You can do all the exercise you want in the world, but if you don't back that up with nutrition the body's adaptation will be minimal.

When you are doing cardio you need to decide what your goals are. If your goal is to burn fat during the exercise, you have to exercise at a low-moderate intensity. Fat can only be metabolized for energy when oxygen is present. This means that cellular respiration is taking place. If you are maintaining a high heart rate, typically 80-90% of your max, cellular respiration will not occur and your body will rely on either the phosphagen system (creatine) or glycolysis (glycogen, the stored form of glucose).

There is nothing wrong with exercising at a higher heart rate because you will elevate your metabolism over the next 24-48 hours.

Here are some tips:

1. Eat smaller more frequent meals throughout the day.
2. Have a caloric deficit of 250-500 calories per day.
3. Exercise with your goals in mind, do what's appropriate for your needs.
4. Try to avoid high glycemic carbohydrates. Stick with complex carbohydrates. The only exception to this rule is immediately following anaerobic training, like weight lifting.

There is so much more to this picture, but I hope this helps you out a little.

Wronguy had some really great info but like he said there's more to it. there is a reason they say diet + exercise, not just exercise, not just diet. they go together for the very best results.
I suggest apples for snacks they taste great are filling and your body has to work to digest them keeping your metabolism going.

Good Luck and have fun with it!

I have made that goal to eat less. I already have changed my portion sizes today.

I am also going to start eating oatmeal again for breakfast, and just over all lower my food intake.

thank you very much for the info.

Do you have any websites I could look at?

You bet.

Bodybuilding.com Great site for training and nutrition. Awesome database for nutrient values on everything from apples to McDonald's.

Ast-ss.com Great site for bodybuilding. Awesome products! Use their search feature to answer just about everything you need.

Body-For-Life Great site for the person who really wants to make a change in their physique and outlook on life. Highly recommended for the beginner trainee. Good book also.

I hope that helps.

good luck!

i really want to get back into shape as well. i think i want to join a gym.

i have some objections to gyms... #1 being the membership fee. i'm not so thrilled about paying to work out when i can go for a run outside or do yoga at home for free.

another drawback is the people who treat gyms like singles bars or social hours. i'm just trying to refill my water bottle, dude... i don't need to hear about how much you can bench press.

and yet i am addicted to elliptical machines. i could spend hours on one of those bitches listening to my iPod and getting lost in my thoughts. i also feel more motivated to work out for longer when i am at a gym. if i go for a run, i can, conceivably, turn back at any time. if i do yoga in our bedroom, i can, conceivably get sidetracked by the bumblings of my boyfriend and our roommate out in the living room. but, if i get in my car and drive to a gym, i will stay there for at least 2 hours... because i hate driving so much i wanna make it worth the trip, i guess.

i'm weird.

i think i'm gonna join a gym.

I have a gym membership, but however i got it 3 years ago, and i moved since then and I would hate to drive all the way there every days.. so I said the hell with it, and I'll just do exercise at home.

good luck a2ndopinion

One good thing that keeps me active is having friends that you work out, go hike, go ski, go do whatever it is you like with - they remind you and motivate you to go more and you do to them plus splitting the expense of gas to get the trailhead can be great and doesn't someone always forget the sunblock anyways?

Our local county has a rec center that is about $350 a year to belong unlimited visits with a locker some of you may want to look into that as they cheaper than private venues. I used to go to the high school and they will let you use the football teams weights but now in my mid-20s I feel awkward around all youngsters but that was FREE.

Here I've stumbled onto the best way to loose weight, without having to change your diet (though changing it would help)

Get a part time job at UPS as a loader. I've seen people lose good amounts of body fat in a short amount of time. two people I work with lost about 20 lbs in their first 4-6 months without changing diet.

Personally I gained about 10 lbs but considering I'm a skinny freak (6'3" 165 when I started) that's a good thing muscle gain, It doesn't give you large muscles or anything but it keeps you in shape, and they pay you, good benefits.

then again I guess most people aren't willing to pick up another job just to keep in shape.

im in the same boat you're in, i need to lose about 20-30 lbs and get in shape.  My diet has been absolute crap for the past two years and minus some golf, i really dont do much for physical exercise.  I never had a perfect body, but it was a lot better and more in shape then my current condition.

When i get back home im doing a detox week where i eat nothing but greens and then im following a diet plan my parents use.  It helped my dad lose a lot of weight so i figure it should work for me.  Hopefully i can trim my gut back to a level im happy with by summer, this is my first time really trying something like this as it used to be my natural metabolism took care of a lot for me (that and dancing for 30 hrs a wkd).

Sucks how shit changes as you get older, but i guess in the end its all for the better. :smile:

Good luck man. :smile:

Working out is the dog's gonads.

I just got back from the gym and it feels like someone just sucked me off. I don't do as many recreational drugs anymore, but the high from the gym has filled the void. Plus when I smoke weed or hit up some psychedelics, it feels even more enlightening because my temple is in tip-top condition.

Being healthy is guuud.
