A little late tonight (9:00PM), but I'm going to do an hour on the treadmill after I finish this cigar. :cbig:

A little worried about my weight lifting session yesterday. I'm on week 2 for weight lifting, but there is no soreness. Last week my muscles were sore, but not that bad. In the past, the first couple of weeks hurt like hell. I'm thinking my hydration and nutrition is the factor this time around. Then again, what the f**k do I know...lol.

ive had that happen before. i think it depends on how much water you drink and what you eat.

I figured. I'm drinking 7-8 16oz glasses of water plus a 16oz glass of skim milk every day. As far as food, 6-7 small meals everyday. Every small meal has protein, complex carbohydrates, and fruits/vegetables. I'm also stretching everyday...my back hasn't hurt once in the past 3 weeks. Another thing is the booze. I've only had 3 shots of tequila and one Stone IPA over the past 3 weeks.

Water, good nutrition, stretching, and sleep will all combat soreness. You are on a hell of a path - keep it up!

How are you guys doing? I'm sticking to my diet so far and working the cardio hard. Also incorporated weight training too. I can see a diffence and feel better already! It really excites me seeing the changes so soon.

I lost 8 lbs. (253 to 245) in the month of January. As usual, my conservative goal is 5 lbs. per month. My new February goal is 240 lbs on my March 1 weigh in.

Had to buy new batteries for the scale last night. Was down to 239 this morning. New goal for April 1 is 234.

Any results for the rest of you guys?

At my peak back in 2000 or so I was about 45 pounds heavier than I am now. The trick for me was finding a set of dietary changes I can stand to live with, pretty much for the rest of my life. Not a "diet" per-se. The whole "going on a diet" thing doesn't work for me, because once I go off... big surprise, weight goes back on.

It came down to moderation, calorie counting, and understanding that failing doesn't mean giving up.

I have been trying to get down to about 200. I am 6'0" 215 right now. I started at 225 at the beginning of the year. I have been going to the gym as much as I can and eating smaller portions. I was down to about 206 but i started to hit the weights heavier and i gained 9 pounds over the last few weeks. I thiink it is just muscle because I am looking better.

Are you using creatine?

I lost about 15 lbs. in 2009, but I was still fat (From 270 down to 255). In 2010 I'm going to lose 55+ lbs. That will get me down to 200. At 6'2, that is a good weight for me. The first two weeks of exercising was kind of difficult, but at the end of the third week I'm back to being addicted.

What are you guys doing to lose the weight?
