[Gordz24]

Well, thanks to some support from our fantastic members, I've decided to start a log. I would like as many people to give me advice as possible. We all need support especially during the holiday season. Stuffing, Cookies, Pies.. etc. This is going to be hard.



As of Yesterday, November 16th 2006, My weight is 206 lbs.
I'm 24 years old
5'8'' Italian male!

I will have measurements as soon as i can find a BENDABLE tape measure...

My goal, For the new years is.... 180 lbs. I think that it's an achievable goal.

Past diet is... (ie)
Wake up - no food.
After class, eat TACO bell at 2pm
6pm Eat dinner. Mostly italian food and such/pizza.
12am Wendys combo Biggie size.

Now i did this for years. I have stage 2 hypertension and currently wear a size 36 pants and an XL top.

My diet as of now... (ie)

Breakfast 8am: Cottage cheese topped with fresh pineapple, green tea/splenda. Multivitamin, E, C, Zing, Saw Palmetto, L-Cysteine

Noon: 6 eggs (3 yolks) 1 piece of whole wheat toast.

3pm. 3 Tablespoons of ANPB and more Vitamin C

5-6pm Dinner. Usually Chicken/salad, Steak/salad, Tuna, Salmon.. etc.

9pm 3 tablesppons of ANPB and another vitamin C.

All day i drink water and a total of 3-4 glasses of green tea with splenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Activity level is minimal right now. Starting Monday i will be elipticalling it 4-5 times a week for 30 min plus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well thats about it. I think I might be able to lose 26 pounds in a month and a half. Im going to stick to this regimine!

Ok Gordz Welcome.. This is my 2c's..

Your pretty young so you will definately have an advantage with your metabolism. I don't think that loosing 26pds is a realistic figure. Quite honestly you may be able to loose that much but its not possible to loose more than 2pds of bodyfat per week. With that said you goal should be 7 weeks x 2pds = 14pds by Jan 1st. If you go for that 26pds figure you will do your body more damage by loosing much important Lean Body Mass.

Its pretty important to figure out your bodyfat % so you know what your lean body mass weight is.. The key is to retain the muscle and only loose fat.. This is why you have been failing in the past. I have the sam syndrom also of really wanting it off fast but I keep myself slow and patient because I know next year I will have all my lean body mass with just a loss of fat. Be patient.. It will come but it justs takes time.. I set my long term goal out to April 2007 to make 180 from the 234 I started at on 09-15-06.

Go to fitday.com and get a free online account and plug you diet in there and see where you are at.

I'm no expert on diet but I think you should add some Flax Seed Oil to your diet.. I take 1 tbps each morning with my protein shake.. You need another meal between breakfast and noon.. Move you noon and up to adjust... Try and eat a meal every three hours.. You need more vegatables in your diet. And last I think you are really low on protein.. Take a look at Pinotca's sticky in the diet section.. He has some good calculators and some sample diets that I worked off of to tailor for myself.

I also dont think you need that much Vit C?


Thanks about all I can think of except a great online book you can get is Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.. Its worth the money and I have enjoyed reading it. Look forward to seeing your progress.

Ciao Lips

Im taking like 1.5 grams of vitamin C. I like the taste of the chewables, its like my candy. lmfao.

I've lost 27lbs in one month before, so i just figured that it was realistic.

What is flax for? Isnt ANPB alot of oils?

Also, i honestly have no money while im in college, so i think protein shakes are out of the plan, unless i blend up some chicken and water. lmao.

Honestly, i feel like im eating alot. I know it doesnt sound like alot, but now that i added the PB, i feel like im eating ever 2-3 hours.

I just ate Tuna, cottage cheese, fruit, celery and ANPB for dinner. Im full. I had to save some of the tuna.

27lbs is possible in one month, but it's not good. Chances are that a lot of the weight lost was water weight (ive lost 12lbs in 48hours before, all after a vacation filled with booze and bad foods..which was all water)

I would say you can lose 20-25lbs by new years easily if you are still retaining water..if you have been eating a clean diet and exercising regularly, then you may not be retaining a lot of water.

But as stated earlier, losing more than 2lbs a week will put you worse off then before as you will start losing muscle which will consequently slow down your metabolism

ahh, i see. I think im retaining alot of water though. I can just tell. I look very swollen. My neck and checks i can tell especially in. Ive really cut down the sodium in take massively.

I would focus on dropping bodyfat not bodyweight. 12% of bf at 190lbs looks better than 20% of bf at 180lbs.

Alright, i didnt eat enough today, although I didnt do anything. I watched some Intense, with a capital I, football. Go BUCKEYES!

Anyways. I woke up at 11am and ate cottage cheese and pineapple.

130pm I ate a shit load of ANPB prolly like 5 tablespoons.

400 I ate a giant porterhouse with grilled onions, mixed cauliflower, broc, carrots sauteed in garlic/butter, And i ate a giant Yam with splenda and butter on it.

Thats all so far. I think I am going to eat some cottage cheese here in a few minutes tho.

Had 3 glasses of green tea and a few bottles of water today. Took my vitamins too.

I weigh 203 this morning. Obviously lost some water.

 

[Gordz24]

Guys, I just cheated... I had a pepperoni roll and like 5 dorito's during the UFC payperview... FUCK. What can I do. I feel so guilty....... Maybe throw up? lol jk. but seriously, i cant take this.. Why cant i just succeed?

 

[Gordz24]
