Before you ask he'd been in to fitness since school and he's the only one from my mothers side ever to die of a heart attack.

Answer me that.

all you know is that he died of a heart attack. there was a reason for it. heart attacks don't happen to 35 year olds without reason.

and that still does not mean that being healthier isn't healthier

It also doesn't mean being healthier is going to make you live longer either

Lost about 50 lbs a year ago by going ultra low fat for 4 months and giving up Pepsi.

Weight has not really gone up, but is shifting around, need to get exercise now, so going out to buy a bike today and going to start riding, live in a great neighborhood for it, could go for miles with all kinds of terrain and not have to deal with traffic.

I do however refuse to become one of the Lance Armstrong wannabes on the road around here, main roads clogging traffic, piss me off.

I really think that weight loss that works varies a lot from person to person - so many people swear by Atkins, and avoid carbs, I lost my weight eating pasta 3 days a week, go figure.

Aly is the amazing one over here, gave up smoiking in Feb and never had a single slip, started working out at the beginning of summer and is doing a strong hour of cardio 3 days a week, and different workouts the other 4.

Jeff, you and Aly both look mahvelous! You've taken it off and kept it off - quite a feat!

Superb that everyone is sticking their hands up and explaining what they are doing to cut down and improve their health .. kudos to you all

The weird thing i found is that after not training for some considerable time going back to the exercise regime 3 times a day, is that there is no pain. When you initially start on the cardiovascular the body takes a hit and your heart beats like a fucked clock to start of with which is to be expected, but the pain I was anticipating and welcoming for my lack of weight training didnt come at all? No pain or aches whatsoever and i can still tie a tie .. this is wholly fucked up .. I love that pain but started taking some slow release whey right after training before I went to bed and every morning wake up and no pain .. I do know that 58% of normal whey (all of it apart from this one) goes straight to the liver due to the body loving it and you lose the benefits, with only 42% benefitting the muscles .. i gotta say its unexpected, not experiencing the pain but it keeps me going three times a day ..

TOGM....when I'm having a lucky month, I lose four to six pounds a month.....men have it a little easier, as my trainer allows them to lose two pounds a week....so woo hoo..they can lose 8-10 pounds a month.
Keeping it off...well...once I get it all off..I'll let you know....that kind of is a no talk zone at the moment, since I'm no where near goal yet. I have no idea what's in store for what is known as maintenance.

Happy belated birthday, Newton.....no pain or soreness....yeah....I felt that way until Friday....when my torture man told me we were going to grow muscle.....previously, he had told me that girlies don't really have a lot of capacity to grow muscle...we can merely maintain and tone what we've got.....but we can grow a little and now I am finding out that it fucking HURTS! LOL Cause, it's Sunday and I am still sore.

[Newton]

Thats good going TOGM and Raven .. takes awhile but its maintaining the focus, every day does get easier and the rush from the endorphines is superb ..

Thanks Raven but my birthday is later in the year as i am a scorpio icq keeps giving me numerous birthdays each month .. piece of shit it is ..

Keep going and the pain will wane as your body gets used to it .. well done

[Raven]

Multiple birthdays.....and ICQ...who would have thought that ICQ could fuck up like that?

Bullshit on the soreness factor.....my torture man said I could grow a little muscle...to that end, I am still suffering from Friday's session. LOL.....but, as you've said, I've learned to appreciate...if not love..that soreness...damn..am I becoming a workout junkie?

My only fear is that I will lose my status as a fat fucking nobody.

Raven, check out a whey protein called "Glycerlean" its slow absorbant whey into the body, which typically is straight after your training and will continue to do its job for 8 hours after. I am getting absolutely no pain using this stuff as I normally would and it will promote muscle growth. ChocoLATS is the best flavour .. Put it into a blender with a banana and some ice and its a great smoothie for after training http://www.glycerlean.com/

Welcome mate

I guess that's a brewski the old man owes you

[Trev]

I must add that he's gone back to eating tripe with a splash of vinegar and a dash of pepper, is that good or bad?

As it tastes like shit

[Newton]
