In another poast, I said I really don't have the option of changing my diet. I either eat what I'm given here, or pay for really expensive food here in Europe. I've done what I can my moderating what I eat and cutting soft drinks.

PS - Dave you're still dumb for going on prohormones Don't need crazy supplements like that, OR to f*ck with your hormone levels and liver. Trust me, I'm almost a doctor/pharmacist. haha

I just think hes stupid for referencing the prohormones gave him like 15lbs of gains in like 3 weeks. And from past posts I know he has been working out for a bit. Either those PHs are making him retain A TON of water weight or somethings just wrong..lol..

If he did gain that substantially in 3 weeks everyone would be using them instead of steroids.

good job mang.. I beeen toying with getting in shape.. I am a fatty too and weigh 280, but he'll i weighed 260 when i went into high school.. so 20lbs in 6yrs isnt bad IMO.. my point is, i have always been a Big guy.. had a belly, but can carry the weight well.. My goal is 240lbs, i just cant seen to get motivated and start the diet.. and working 45+ hours every week isnt really giving me much motivation to workout every day..

Good job on doing more than your weight!

Just a TIP from an 8 credit hour short exercise science major / physical education. Its not how hard you work out on the elliptical / run. Its where your heart rate is.... Fat is burned almost entirely from a different energy system.

For weight loss

take 220 - (your age)

(take that total) x .60-.65

= the range you want your heart rate range when doing cardio. This will burn the most fat.

Take me for example

220-23 = 197

197 x .60 = 118

197 x .65 = 128

If i wanted to lose the most weight per workout, that is where my HR would be. (118-128 beats per minute)

Any other questions let me know.

The heart rate measuring sensor on the bike/elliptical is way out of whack. At full tilt, the bike said I was doing 75bpm. The ellipical said 185. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hitbybrick.gif.68a672fae224041f00769a97c2c1bf2d.gif

Is higher not always better? I get my heart rate up to 180, sometimes 190.

Good luck Jordon, I'm sure you'll make it. Don't push the heavy weight too much - go lighter and high reps on every weight lifting exercise you do. That's where you will obtain your real strength from.

NO. You will burn more calories with a higher heartrate, BUT you burn the most

(40% more) fat calories sticking within that range.

Simply the body burns 3 energy sources during exercise. If your goal is weight loss, stick within that fat buring range. Hence why machines are options for weight loss etc.....and tells you the range that you should be in. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well, I'm going for weight loss and cardiovascular health. Today I did an hour of HIIT, roughly around 185 in my peaks and 165 in the lows. I'm 5'7", 185 lbs.

But to keep my heart rate below 130 seems ridiculous. I barely work up a sweat at that point.

Thats crazy, hats off to you MoT. I had the opposite problem, had to GAIN weight, it sucked, but I can't imagine how much harder it is for you guys trying to drop pounds and keep it off.

Keeping it off is easy if you do it the right way.
