Stu's Struggle

Thanks for the support everyone. This definately will be a life-chaning experience. I want to be good this weekend. I didn't like gaining back half of what I lost last weekend, lol.

And good this weekend I was...lost another half pound. I'm also going to be joining a gym here within the next week.

What do you guys think about continuing with my 30mins of cardio 5x a week and lifting 3x per week on top of that?

I'm trying, but am still finding it hard to eat that much. It makes me wonder how I got so fat sometimes, lol. I only had 1500 cals each day this weekend. The past 6 days my weight hasn't gone down all that much either. I was my lowest on Sat, 261.5, but I still have a hard time eating 2000-2500cal because while trying to drink 1gal+ of water each day, my stomach is packed.

I honestly don't mind losing a little muscle (just not *too* much), I just want to get rid of this damn whale blubber as fast as possible.

IMO that is NOT enough, you will not see any progress with fat b/c your body will munch on the muscle 1st, THEN the fat.

Weigh yourself 1-2 x a week, same day, same time, early am/empty... that's it.

Almonds & Walnuts are good healthy snacks to help get cals up. If you cannot EAT have an Meal Replacement Shake to get SOMETHING in...

This is pretty much what I've been having during the week days. How can I improve? If the image looks blurry, please sure that the pic is maximized or right-click and save it to your comp and then look at it: http://myscreamer.com/Misc/diet3.JPG

Well 1900 is different/better than 1500... try Adding 2 oz walnuts to that will bump the cals approx.:
cals 380 fat 38 carbs 8 pro 8

Thanks guys, I'll have to add those in also. I just ordered some more protein from ProteinFactory, so that should help. I'll also stop weighing myself everyday. I think it's driving me nuts, hehe . I'll weight myself on Monday morning and Sat morning. That way I can track my progress for the week and also find out how bad/good I was over the weekend.

I'm also going to be making my first trip to the gym tonight! It will be my first time there in about 3.5 years, lol.
