About which part? 80 is on the low side for someone my height. I've very low BF%, but still I want to lose some more fat around the gut, but add a fair bit more muscle to get me to 86 (190lbs).

I want to get down to my birth weight

lol, shut up Alej!

I sorta, kinda promised my wife I'd sort myself out and look the best I've ever looked by the time I hit 30 so I've not got long. Right now I'm not cutting my hair or shaving my beard and she's not so keen on my 'look'. It's all part of the plan though. So long as she doesn't leave me I think by the end of May it'll be like 'BLAM!' and she'll be knocked off her feet.

...there you go again.

It's as hard for me to gain weight as it is for many to put it on. My legs look like chopsticks. I'm glad for being tall, but with this metabolism it leaves me pretty thin.

I'm really here for help and motivation for slowing down my beer-drinking though. I don't think I can stop!

Nothing that a little bit of D-anabol can't fix!

I'm AUS size 12 but my big boobs make me look fat in everything I wear because off the rack stuff is not made for my proportions.

I thought that we already settled this?

Just walk around in a bikini top. Problem solved!

Alej said:

I'm on this new diet, it's very effective. I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese

I bet you're just one stomach flu from your goal weight.

I decided I don't have the willpower to lose weight. I'm not technically overweight according those chart-things, though i'm at the top acceptable weight for my height - that's fine by me.

The issue I have is exercise. I get so bored of it.

Actually, I'm doing better than I thought I was. Pulled out some old smaller sized clothes and they are wearable again.

I imagine watching what I eat will make a huge difference so I've been trying harder with that.

Pics?

Fauxie your under 30?????????? Holy shit I always thought you were pushin 40 atleast!!!!! Your younger than me? WTF?!

Anyways, keep up the good work guys!

Erin, see that? And fitting into your smaller clothes should be a good boost for you to keep going WOOHOO!!!!

My positive thing for today is that I put on a pair of pants that I bought two weeks ago and my love handles weren't NEARRRR as bad as they were when I bought them.

I didn't get to work out yesterday. But the kids are going to bed in 15 minutes and I plan to do a 45 min workout then. I'm so exhausted, but I'm determined to do it!

Keep it going guys. I'm so proud of all of us.

Keep it healthy!!!!!

There goes looking the best I've ever looked when I'm 30, then.

As for my progress, I couldn't do a full workout with my free weights yesterday as there's something up with my left shoulder. It's fine in most positions but there's certain ways I just can't move my arm, above my shoulder, without a lot of pain. I don't have full range of movement. Bummer, because I've been really enjoying my workouts. Just gonna do some calf raises and squats while I watch the basketball this morning, and that's all for today.

Yanno, we could start like a motivational thread where we check in and motivate eachother!! :woot;

We could post diet tips, work out tips, playlist, pictures of results, anything to help eachother out.

I just can't get my shit together this time around and I feel like I am NEVER gonna see results.

So maybe if we record progress and here eachothers success stories it'll help.

Only positive stuff though. Nothing like OMG, look at my thighs, or unhealthy shit like, oh I ate oreos and I made myself puke. Seriously though.

Does anyone want to?

I mentioned to yoyu a few weeks back ...

I am down 60 lbs from June 1 2010 ~ and an overall total of around 23 inches off/down on my body measurements

I walk around 2 miles 5ish days a week

I take NIA 3 x a week

Yoga 3 x a week

Bellydance 2 x a week

lots of sex exercize

LOTS of food ~ lots ... mostly all fresh ~ very little red meat ~ mostly all organics ~ butter ~ grains ~ even a sweet when I desire ...anykinda sweet

so yeah

There goes looking the best I've ever looked when I'm 30, then.

It was never anything to do with your looks that I thought you were older. Just your personality.

Anyways, ya take it easy with your shoulder, you don't wanna end up completely outta the game.

Mach I know, that is awesome! What is NIA?

Okay guys, I know I said nothing negative and to stay positive......

But heres my issue.....I GAINED 55-60 lbs!!! Not quite sure exactly how much. I know I said throw away the scale but like I said I got weighed at my 6 wk checkup and I had only lost 30 of those lbs. And it's not so much the weight gain but before I got pregnant when I'd work out I would see my muscles were all ripped when I was done. Now I work out so hard (when I can) and all I see is the fat.

So I could use some advice on how to actually LOSE FAT, something I didn't have to do before. All I had to do was ton up. Now I need to learn how to lose all the fat.

Suggestions?

I love that I pulled out some jeans from when I was in like 9th grade and they're huge on me

Waddles her fat ass in the thread clutching her left titty gasping for air....

shit... count me in... I need to find a new man and I need more options than my current weight allows.

Now I'm going to go back and read this thread for tips...

Do you do pullups, barbell benchpress, or upright rows? Those exercises can be notorious for shoulder pain.

And I weight myself every Monday morning ~ no more or no less ...

I take my body measurements every 11th of each month

( both ONLY since june 2010 )

both those tools are a big part of my mind set

I in no way see them as a negitive aspect of healthy living

No, kinda (bench press with dumbbells), and yes.

The thing is, I had the problem before my workout yesterday, and I hadn't noticed it the day before, or two days before when I'd last done upper body stuff.

Oh, well that's not so bad. I just act like a boring old fart, then.

Yep, I'm taking it a bit easier, thanks. Working around it for now.

Off to the gym!
