anyone want to be my weight loss buddy?

[Dye]

[rickyisgood]

im 5'9 180 i want to drop to 160

[phallus]

i need to lose 10pounds in 5 days for weigh in.

if i had to cut weight fast w/o dehydration i'd go on the atkins diet for the week before the weigh in and the day before have a psylium fiber colon cleanse. i lost like 3 pounds in a day without eating any carbs.

this thread gets me thinking, i need to lose a few pounds. i got up to 188 after Xmas, today i'm 184 1/2. ten more pounds and i'l lose the belly, i'd even settle for 177 or 180... no one would ever believe i was a natural middleweight to look at me now

I'm down.


I need to cut down to about 150LBS...I'm at 181 right now...down 13LBS from about a month ago. Its probably mostly water weight...but what I've done is change my eating habits...and finally get back into the gym, to do some weight training, but mostly cardio.


A typical day for me:


Breakfast:

8:00am

Oatmeal ( 2 Packs of raw sugar )
2 slices of whole wheat bread ( Lite Margarine )
1 Hard Boiled Egg ( Most of the time, I'll only have the white )

Mid Morning Snack:

10:00am

An apple or orange
Pineapple slices, pear slices...

Really any kind of fruit, just for the extra energy boost, to hold me down until lunch...

Lunch:

12:30 - 1:00pm

Tuna Sandwich on whole wheat w/ a slice of cheese in it

Or

A salad w/ dressing



Afternoon Snack:

4:00pm

Yogurt, or a fruit cup or some fruits


Dinner

6:00pm - 8:00pm ( it varies on the time...but I try to keep it as early as possible )

I'll try to have something like a Subway Turkey Breast sandwich...or a Lean Pocket, or a Lean Cuisine meal...


Now this is not exactly the same everyday...during the day while I'm at work, its a lot easier, because I have easy access to all of these good foods. Its when I get home that I have a tougher time finding healthy choices.


As far as excersizing...I started hitting the gym again a few weeks back, so just trying to get into the groove of things. I tried a boxing class, and it kicked my ass, and was sore for about 4 days after. So I figured I'd at least try and get into a little better condition before trying to take it on head first.


So, I've been pretty consistant for the most part, at getting into the gym for at least 4-5 days a week, for about an hour and a half, two hours at the most.

I'll usually start like this:


Stationary Bike - 10 minute warmup, low speed, low intensity...

Get up and stretch...

Hop back onto the bike, and go for about 30 minutes...going 2 minutes at a moderate speed, then kicking up a few levels for a minute, than going back down to moderate speed for two minutes. And repeat this cycle.

Haven't really gotten very deep into the weight training, so I'll usually do about 5 sets of light weight at about 12-15 reps per set.



So far, I've been feeling a lot more energized, but did eat a ****load of buffalo wings last night from Round Table. And feel like **** today, from all the grease and what not.

So far, have went down from 194 to 181, since about the second week of January.
