Well mine is a little different then. I do it for Kmart Distribution center. What we do is videotape everything and monitor cameras. Then if a accident happens we have to take care of that from taping off the area and putting signs around the area the accident happend and taking pictures and then if a person is involved we have to drug test them and call 911 if it is serious enough to need medical attention. Then we page people to locations and then sometimes we get to fire people in a way, lol! Just head to their boss on their shift and tell them we have proof of them stealing as they were caught on tape. Then kazaam they are gone. I have to admit though, I have caught people and told them to take it back as I hate getting people in trouble knowing first hand that the job they work is not worth stealing something and losing their job. Now if the guy or girl are assholes, then its on, lol!
yours is different. i work in a store so i have to monitor customers. never had someone seriously injured so i haven't had to deal with that yet. my store manager does most of my job cause he is an *** and has to do everything his way so i basically just worry about thieves
still off, i got sick a few weeks ago
so that prolly helped a lil also, 227lbs now.
as for the popcorn thing, well i heard a few actors do that to loose wieght. just looking for somthing in between the salad and probably just eat a small bag for dinner no butter or salt ones. my sisters are allways off and on that atkins diet works for them but only one is a little overwieght the other two are skinny, but say they are fat like most girls. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Yeah that would be different and I am kinda glad I dont have to worry about customers. I would be going into a looney bin if I had to worry about customers. People here have been here for years and basically know the whole loss prevention thing. So we dont have a lot of trouble from the people that work here. Is more the people getting hurt and doing stupid shit like a forklift hitting a flow valve and busting it and then we get fire alarms which we also monitor and then you have a shitfest on your hands. I hate when that happens and the fawking fire department shows up with axes and picks in hand asking where the fire is because we are directly hooked up to their system, lol!

CB on Fat Loss
While you're formulating your 2007 get-back-in-shape plan, you might find this quick interview I did with fitness expert Craig Ballantyne on fat loss useful. For my previous Q&A's with Craig, click here (Part 1) and here (Part 2) .
AC: How should a good fat loss workout take, start to finish?
CB: What I'm continuing to realize with each client I work with and each study I read is that nutrition is the most important aspect of the fat loss equation.
So knowing that, we can de-emphasize the need for marathon fat loss workouts. We don't need an hour of cardio everyday. We don't need another 45 minutes of weight training on top of that.
Instead, all we really need is about 2 hours of total exercise time per week (or about 3 sessions of 45 minutes) to help guys lose bodyfat.
However, we still have to be on for 167.5 hours per week - making sure that we don't eat the wrong foods. Only for 0.5 hours per week would I allow a client to have a meal that doesn't fit the regular fat loss guidelines.
So focus on your nutrition compliance, and short, intense workouts, and you'll find that this is a time-manageable approach to fat loss.
In your 45-minute session, spend 5 minutes on a total-body warmup using bodyweight exercises. After that, choose 4-6 basic lifts and perform them in 2-3 supersets. That should take 20 minutes. Then finish with 20-minutes of interval training. Stretch as needed after, if necessary, or stretch at the end of the day.
That is my basic foundation for fat loss training. Yes, that is it. It seems like heretic considering the high-volume info we received in the 80s and 90s, but there is good research on the effectiveness of interval training for fat loss and on weight training for increasing post-exercise metabolism. Plus, the strength training sculpts the body like aerobic exercise never could.
To read my article on the "Dark Side of Cardio", click HERE.
AC: What kind of results do you see?
CB: I like to look at the results based in terms of body fat percentage lost, rather than pounds like most people judge results.
For a sedentary beginner that is overweight, he can lose a lot of body fat quickly, and yes, it will exceed the general recommendation of 1 pound per week. It could far exceed that if he is really eating poorly and makes a nice transition to healthier eating and consistent exercise. You could see double-digit fat loss gains in a month.
So we are looking at a 1-2% decrease in body fat. Weight change will depend significantly on the guy's ability to gain muscle. But you could decrease 4% body fat percentage easily in a month. That means if you are 15-18% body fat now, you could see your abs in a little over a month.
Now, if any of your readers are struggling with a fat loss pleateau, I guarantee that it is one of two things:
a) A lack of nutrition compliance (generally, most people think they are
eating better than they really are)
b) A lack of training intensity (when people switch from low-intensity fat loss programs to high-intensity strength and interval training as their fat loss approach, they burst right through their plateaus - even though the principles and exercises are simple, no-fluff, basics).
AC: For a complete beginner, beyond making dietary changes, what's the most basic thing someone should do to start losing fat?
CB: The key here is knowing some key information about the client - including their age, training history, current program, and what has worked best for them in the past. Like every other trainer I take an extensive physical and even psychological history of each client before designing a program.
So it is going to depend on the situation of each individual.
But let's say for example, that our client in question is a beginner male that has no idea about training or nutrition. First thing we'll do is to go over nutrition because that is where the greatest impact will come from in most cases. So we'll try to get him eating at a 90% compliance rate and this will do wonders for his body composition.
A proper nutrition education will pave the way for the training to do its job of sculpting the body underneath the fat. Once we have his nutrition in place, we'll use a no-frills approach of basic, multi-muscle exercises that are applicable to his fitness and motor skills level. I won't ask him to do lunges if he can't even do a bodyweight squat properly - but we'll aim to
use those types of exercises, and to quickly get up to speed in order to work in the 8 repetition zone.
Along with this relatively intense strength training, we'll also use interval training that is relatively intense to him. I must say, I don't like the term "high-intensity interval training", first of all because many of the intervals I use don't really fit that definition (i.e. with beginners I often use 2-minute aerobic intervals), and second of all it scares a lot of people away from using intervals.
An interval does not have to be super, maximum, puke-inducing intensity. It is simply an interval period of exercise that can be more or less intense than normal (obviously more intense is the work interval, and the less intense is the recovery interval).
Intervals can be used in all sorts of ways and at different levels of intensities and therefore can be used with all levels of fitness (I have even read studies where interval training is used in cardiac rehabilitation programs).
So that's the basic plan I'd use with a beginner.

there are no magical diets. you have to do what works. you need to take in a certain amount of calories per day to maintain your current weight. now what you have to do is take in less calories through diet and exercise. i actually suggest people read dr. phil's book. weight loss is mostly mental, and you have to fix yourself mentally in order to loose weight. also i learned that loosing only 1-2 pounds per week is good. less likely to put it back on. also don't set goals. just keep trying cause there will be weeks in which you don't loose a pound, and if you set goals too high, you'll fail and go back to what you were doing

Good advice. I think I will try and stray away from buying anymore pop and either try some juices or just stick to water. I think that is my main problem in my diet. Then do some exercising. I hate to exercise, but I know you pretty much have too in order to lose some weight.
try switching to diet. i drank atleast 2 liters of coke or pepsi per day, usually more. try something new. i actually drink diet mt. dew even though i never drank regular mt dew. i got a stationary bike and plopped it in front of the tv and ride that for 30 minutes a day atleast. pretty easy. i started weight lifting now, but i started just riding a bike everyday.

If the water at your house sucks, get a PUR filter for your faucet. Believe me, it works wonders! One filter cartridge usually lasts about 3 months in my house! I use it for everything, even when I make coffee. If you drink coffee with sugar, switch to Splenda. It tastes like sugar (no joke), and it's better for you than nutrasweet and the other fake crap. Also you can drink the Propel flavored water if drinking plain old water is too boring for you.
Another thing that I've found to keep motivation going, don't weigh yourself, measure yourself. You'd be surprised how many inches you lose and how fast they come off compared to how many pounds you lose. You may only lose 15 pounds, but that 15 pounds could be 4 inches off your waist! That's the ultimate goal anyways. That's why some people look confused when they're told they look like they lost a ton of weight, they don't measure themselves. They're thinking they "only" lost 10 pounds, but everyone else sees that their face is thinner, and their skinnier. If you measure yourself every couple of weeks, you just may go into shock at what the tape measure shows you.
The measuring thing especially applies to people that previously did no exercise before. When you start a program, you will build muscle almost instantly. Problem with that is it's hidden under fat. Another problem is that muscle weighs more than fat, so one day you may step on the scale and weigh more than last time. If you're not measuring yourself, that will destroy your self esteem. Whereas if you do measure yourself, you will still notice that your waist is getting smaller, thereby increasing your motivation due to a tangible result.
Oh well, that's all I have to say on the subject for now. Good luck all!

Back about 3 months ago i was 5'6" and 195 lbs. I'm now currently 5'6" 160 lbs. I used to drink alot of soda and eat fast food at work, but i realized how easily I could lose the weight if i tried. I work in a factory, assembling strut outershells. I used to not eat breakfast, and the only exercise i was getting was at work. Now I wake up an extra 35-40 minutes early to eat breakfast which consists of: a plain english muffin, some fruit, a small bowl of cereal, and a glass of orange juice. I then stop in at subway and pick up a 6" turkey sandwhich on wheat bread with veggies and mustard. I now only drink water at work, and its normally ~8 bottles a day, which is a gallon a day. I now run when i get off work, and today was a 3 mile jog which took me 30 minutes. after i'm done jogging ill eat some veggies-carrots and celery-plain. I normally dont eat a dinner becuase I'm only awake for ~3 hours after work and i dont want it to just sit and do nothing.
Everyone has noticed the change in my physical appearance, and i've had to go shopping for smaller jeans once already. What i do is really easy for me to keep up with, and i plan to continue doing it.

Ive already lost about 18lbs in one month. All I did was stopping eating fast food and drinking regular soda. Switched to sandwiches, salads, and diet soda. Also started weight lifting and a little bit of cardio (like 10-15 min).
Im really starting to hate all those fat bitches that complain how they cant lose weight. Im in fucking college. Im constantly surrounded by free beer, liquor, and junk food. And when I say junk food, I mean its EVERYWHERE I go. There's always some sort of fund raiser, special interest meeting, or club group giving away free cake, cookies, etc. And the cafateria is no better. Free ice cream, belgium waffles, and brownies as far as the eye can see. There is also the rest of the unhealthy food the cafateria serves, cheeseburgers everyday, pizza, fried chicken, and much more. You get the idea...
These fat bitches have got to put effort into not losing wieght. I mean, how fucking hard is it just to not buy the shit at the store that makes you fat???
I mean, Ill admit it, Im a fatass right now. But Im actively trying to lose weight and I am losing it. I dont sit around complaining Im "big boned" or this is how I was born. Yeah, Ill always be big. All the guys in my family are, but it doesnt mean I have to be a lardass also. The positive to thing to my genes though is that my family arent big as in fat, they're big in that they put on muscle very easily. I have that naturally muscular look to me.
