Actually my body is changing my chest, shoulders and back are getting big and stomach has gone down!
i see a huge change from 2 months agoI get what you're saying but I think the brother is using the scale as a way to quantify his progress. In my experience with both fitness and personal goals, QUANTIFYING your goals is essential to your success. He has two ways to look at it...
A. I want to look nice in the mirror. - But what does "look nice" really mean? "Look nice" is completely respective to the person in the mirror.
B. I want to lose 40 pounds in 40 days.
Using numbers to measure your success works quite well as long as you have a realistic view on things. From what I've gathered reading this thread, I dont think this brother is going to throw up his hands and quit if he's up 2 pounds on the scale. Sounds like the scale is a quick way for him to snapshot his progress or lackthereof.
OP please let me know if I'm off base with the above comments. I doubt that I will be.
Do not listen to any of this.
lol dude is a lil off.. saying that i can lose 50-60 pounds and still look like shit.. negro plsss.. if i look like shit at 220 what do u think i looked like at 327?
u hit the nail on the head! the scale is just motivation! if i gain a pound or 2 that just tells me to go harder!!

Good stuff brother. If you looking to switch up your cardio a bit I'd encourage you to look into H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Training). Not sure how much you know or dont know about it but a quick Google search will give you tons of info (suggested intervals/sets, metabolic benefits, etc).
It's essentially balls to the wall sprinting/biking/jump roping etc. for some time interval (1 min typically) followed by an interval of rest (30s - 1 min) for a set # of cycles. I wont lie to you though...its tough but it will get you the results you want.
Hit me up if you have specific questions about my experience using the training system.
im a lil too heavy for that right now maybe when i get down to 240 i can do the sprinting and jumping thing.. right now its just to much weight on me for my knees to handle
This is my whole point. I have a friend who went from Fat and out of shape to ripped in 7 months. The difference in his weight loss is only 8 pounds. But yet his body shredded. He's physique is about 2 sizes smaller than Micheal J. White.
He even admitted if he would have meaured his success by weight loss he would have given up within 3 months. He realized his goal wasn't WEIGHT LOSS it was to GET IN SHAPE...damn kats is hard headed
Get yo ass one of these. It will tell you when your heart is in the fat burning zone. If you wear it to the gym the elliptical, treadmill, and bikes will sense it and display the readings. It ensures you are burning fat and not over or under training. Polar is a good brand. Body Bug is what they use on the biggest loser and it's the Bentley of Heart Rate Monitors. They're about $500.

Dude I started running on the track and just dropped 10lbs.
I might have to join in on this too.
I'm at 230lbs right now, and I want to get down to 200lbs by December.
I need to read through this thread for some good tips.
First thing is correcting my diet, and get back in the gym.
Good job and good luck FUCKYOU!

Weekly, since I'm near my target weight the scale isn't going to tell the full story so I look in the mirror constantly throughout the day.
Yeah water only...Some people say that stay away artifically sweetened beverages because it may trick your body into spiking your insulin levels. They say others can get away with it so I just stay away. I also snack on pepperoni, slim jims, and bbq pork rinds to get thru the day.
when is week one up for u?
What does this have to do with this thread and FUCKYOU. No way does he fit that criteria. He needs to shed weight. Period. Dropping 8pounds and trying to cut will do nothing for him. He has too much stress on his body and joints and he needs to drop pounds. You cats are so worried about getting your points across that you're ignoring the fact that they have no relevance in this instance. AT FUCKYOU's size and weight, he needs to go by that scale for now.This is my whole point. I have a friend who went from Fat and out of shape to ripped in 7 months. The difference in his weight loss is only 8 pounds. But yet his body shredded. He's physique is about 2 sizes smaller than Micheal J. White.
