How do you lose wieght?

That's a misconception that many people make. You burn the fat off and then build the muscle - there's no such thing as turning fat into muscle because that's biologically impossible.

Many fitness people don't believe in the word toning, but I think people get the general meaning of toning by burning fat while building some muscle at the same time. A person with my build, my excercise/work out regiment leans towards toning/bodybuilding simply because my asthma gets in the way of truly building a lean, thin body.

Here's another thing to consider - boxing. It's great for overall body fitness and extremely great at raising cardio as well as the added benefit of learning self-defense. No, I'm not talking about those tae-bo classes or some aerobics class that incorporates some martial arts because that's dumb. Sure, you'll burn the calories, but it's nothing like burning calories and learning how to defend yourself like boxing.

Actually due to my recent eating habits I've become rather nervous about what I eat. Every time I put something sweet in my mouth I'm afraid I'm going to gain 5 pounds. I really need to tighten my belt and excercise....

6 foot 2 and weigh 260 pounds.
I can assure you I don't look like this:

The problem is I stopped being active ever since I got into college. I guess that my work out would consider using dumbells, crunches, pushups, and going to the park and hit the wall with a tennis ball using a tennis racquet.

I just came back from working at my local WOW gym... least to say I love working out, but I'm so freaking out of shape. (Flexibility as been shot to hell and my cardiovascular system is totally weak)

Nevertheless, from 213lbs to 211.5lbs. Making progress, and hoping to get slightly lower than 200lbs by the end of this summer, and 180lbs by the end of winter.

I think one thing about weight-loss is knowing what weight you should be at when totally healthy in reference to your height and body frame and either lean or muscular. Knowing this, you have a goal that you can strive for.

I'm 183 cm with 119 kg...

I'm overweight too but I'll doing what my father said like doing aerobic gymnastic every morning( about 15 - 30 minutes ) and didn't dinner... :D

I think it works! Coz my friend doing it and now he's slim now ( 8 months ago he was fat too )

Oh man, you are overweight... 6'2" and 261lbs unless you have a large body frame. But point proven, it takes both dieting and calorie-burning workouts to drop the pounds, or kgs in your case Matatabi.

I'm 174 cm and 90 Kg

-I usually do like this, eat something light and full of energy in the morning
-Skip lunch (mostly because I'm too busy to eat...)
-at night, eat fruits and vegetables.

-and of course with a regular exercise

And don't forget this. /jk


LOL, happy exercising. :)

Very admirable. Same height like you, hoping to hit below 200lbs (90Kgs before end of summer).



I know you're joking, but I can't see how any person could excercise to that when I'd be fapping to it.

Oh, I tried... :)

In result, I'm exercising with a Hard-on...lol
After a week I stopped using her "services"

170cm, 60kg. I'm really slimy. i can't get fat, no matter how.

That's pretty good actually, 6'2" at 172lbs. I'm 5'8" at 212lbs. At best, my weight should be 170, and that's taking into consideration my height, body frame, and musculature. (is that even a word?)

Dear god o.o You're not overweight at all. I'm 5'9 at 167 pounds as of today, mesomorph.

Are you an ectomorph person?(skinny, not wide in build)

5ft 9in
170lbs

I just walk everywhere unless required to drive and drink about 2 gallons of water a day. Plus my type of work keeps me moving and lifting heavy stuff.

No way outta workin' hard if you wanna lose weight. but for some people its infinity harder than for others. Its all bout' metabolism.

I work out every day and dont eat sweets, but Im still overweight. BUT you march on, keep trying, all that.

thanks!

You guys are making me more self-concious of my weight, even though I don't look fat.

I wanna work out more, but I'm soo out of shape that my muscles still hurt from Monday's workout.

I lose weight via an advanced system of exercise and anorexia.

Excercise is fine. Anorexia as in THE condition? Oughta go to a shrink if you're anorexic. Anorexia is the worst way to go about losing weight, and honestly, you're depriving yourself the energy (calories) and necessary nutrients (vitamins, protein, enzymes) that your body needs. Cutting back the food amount and watching what you're eating is fine, but anorexia isn't a solution - it's a problem.

Well, I guess I should said that that was what my old diet plan was. When I was in high school there was this girl I liked, but at the time I was rather overweight, and I figured that there was no way anyone would go for a fat kid (I was a very self-conscious teenager). End the end I did end up losing weight and getting the girl, but the end didn't really justify the means. I felt especially guilty about it afterwards because my family has a history of eating disorders.

Oh yeah, I'm 5"11 and 182 pounds currently. Forgot to mention that.

@MidgarKonotsu: 5'11" @ 182lbs isn't too bad, but I think you can lose 7 more lbs to 175lbs to be more leaner.

I mean, when it comes to food, I tend to absorb everything, and I get fatter somewhat. Some people have the ability to eat and never gain weight... I fucking envy them but there's nothing I can do except do what I'm doing now, and I still need to drop another 40lbs to hit 170lbs for my 5'8" height and medium/heavy body frame. I dropped 40lbs through dieting and excercising before the semester started (240 to 200), but lost and gained weight (195 to 215), and now I'm back down to 210, and the goal is lose those 10 lbs before the summer ends, another 20 in winter, and 10+ in lbs the spring. For losing weight, it's all about setting goals and striving for them.
