I'm tired of being the fatkid, and im finally going to do something about it. My exercise plan so far is 45 minutes walking/jogging/running, then after my lungs get better and I get less fat, add sprinting up hills to that. Also, I'm going to be doing 30 minutes of weights. What foods should I eat and what foods should I stay away from?
bahahaha:rastasmoke:
dont eat
I've lost 15 pounds since I started smoking weed daily 5 months ago.
for breafast ------ oatmeal or cereal [ 1 bowl fat boy]
for lunch----- sandwich , fruit and a water [ no soda or chips fat boy]
dinner---- rice,chicken salad ....exchange beef for chicken some days
if you need a snack in the late night eat cereal with 1% milkfat
stay active and dont eat after 7pm
if you have lots of stress in your life
than fix that shit quick. you cant lose weight
when your all stressed out.
try and lose 5 lbs a week.
sweat and pain are your new best friends
Don't be a dork. :)Quote:

The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you take in. Try to cut out anything that is high in calories. Pop and juices are a killer. A can of pop packs about 170 calories, and juices can pack just as much. Drink water and pure juices.
If you drink alcohol, cut it out 100%. If you like to drink though, no more beer! I can't say it enough, but a bottle of beer has 350 calories. If you want to drink, do it in moderation, and use Diet sodas with hard liqours, or use pure juices. Beer is no good anyway you look at it, so don't drink it.
No more munching out either! Munching is so good, but if you get the craving, eat something healthy. Veggies and dip is always good. Fruit like apples, oranges, and pineapple are kickass when stoned. Just eat something healthy.
And finally, exercise. You won't lose weight sitting down, so if you're in school, consider walking to school if it's in a reasonable distance. I mean, a 2mile walk to school everyday is a jackoff session, so if you can walk, then do it.
After you get out of school, consider walking home, having an apple or something healthy like celery with cheese whiz, or celery with peanut butter. Grab a bottle of water, and go walking.
Don't overdo things at first. I know, I was an eager person to lose weight once and let me tell you, it takes time. It won't go away overnight. It will take months of getting in the habit and getting that workout.
Walk at first. See how far you can get before getting overly exhausted. Everyday, increase your walking or running time, and distance. Walking, running and riding a bike, are the best ways to lose weight.
Lifting weights is good for building muslce, and building muscle comes along with A LOT of eating, which is something you want avoid right now, so I wouldn't even bother with weights. Just walk or run. :)
I managed to lose 50lbs last year. I biked 20km a day, ate only 3 meals a day, and something healthy fo snacking, and in about 5 months, I was down a good 40lbs.
Take up some martial arts too. I took up kickboxing and not only did I learn to knock someone unconcious, I got a wicked workout.
You can do it FatKid. It just takes motivation and the want to lose it, and ask yourself why you want to lose it, and do it!
Good luck bro! :thumbsup:
drink only water, do more endurance exercises if you soley want to lose wait and not build muscles, so jogging / walking / cycling maybe even running up and down big sets of stairs?
stay away from obvious junk food, drive less if you drive.
Avoid:
-Refined foods or any sort. Sugars, corn syrup, white flour, etc. Replace with fruit juice sweetened stuff and whole grains.
-Fried anything. If you want to have something fried, panfried in olive oil, no breading, is the best you can do.
-Ground beef... the stuff at restaurants is RARELY the good, lean beef. Learn to love veggie burgers or turkey burgs. Much better!
And remember to drink lots and lots of water, as your body needs it to metabolize fat.
Your plan sounds good! I just want to add it's easier to stick with if you have a workout buddy!
Good luck!
Good luck man I admire that you realise you have a problem and that you are keen to deal with it.
No chowder has pretty much summed it up , healthy food and healthy excerise are the keys.
I would like to point out that not all alcohol is bad , a glass of red wine daily is good for you. THATS A GLASS NOT A BOTTLE lol
go to subway! you could be like jared!!!
i'm glad i'm not fat.. cuz i hate subway.
i've never heard beer being good for you, heard of wine being good for you tho, red wine to be exact. i think it's cuz they're filled with anti oxidants...Quote:

Its not about eating fancy, eating more, eating less, eating this or eating that, it all comes down to being honest with yourself, and saying your willing to work off what you eat today. If you cant work it off, go with something lighter. It doesn't get easier then that...
eat celery, lots of it... you burn off more calories eating the stuff then it has in it... can't lose :) atleast use that for snacks inbetween meals.
BFS - Bigger, Stronger, Faster. I was never obese but I am built like a fire hydrant, and a southern Italian. I am not skinny, and I never will be but I can get cut, and that is what I am trying to do now, get in the best possible shape I can be in, I DO NOT want to be 40 years old 100lbs overweight and cannot do anything like half of our lazy ass country. Here is my workout routine. I'll talk about eating right after.
Legs and Abs Reps Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 Week 9
Squats 3 x 8-10 315lbs
Leg Extensions 3 x 8-10 120lbs
Seated Leg Curls 3 x 8-10 120lbs
Seated Calve Raises 3 x 12-15 100lbs
Standing Calve Machine 3 x 10-12 120lbs
Chest and Bis
Benchpress 3 x 8-10 215
Incline Barbell Press 3 x 8-10 175
Decline Dumbell Press 3 x 8-10 60

Lying Barbell Extensions 2 x 8-10 80
Tricep Pushdowns 2 x 8-10 120
B-t-B Bar Wrist Curls 2 x 10-12 100
These are my current weights for each lift as of last week. I am 5'6" 190lbs I am trying to get down to 165-170lbs.
For ab excerices do 50 crunches alternating right to left, left to right(if this needs more explanation than ask), then 30 hip raises(lay down on a becnh with your hands grasping the bench slightly behind your head, raise your legs while keeping them together straight up in the air and push up with your hips lifiting them off the bench), after that do 50 leg raises(again ask if this needs more explanation). Do the ab workout on leg days.
On chest and back days I ride for an hour on the bike after lifting, if you use the bike don't go easy, make it hard or else it won't do anything. You can also run the treadmill, etc. I also ride the bike for an hour on friday. I lift Monday-Thursday and also ride friday. Each workout should take approximatley 1.5 hours if you do it right, not counting cardio. That is 6 hours lifting plus 3 hours of cardio. Everyone should be able to make that time for themselves during the week to stay in shape.
Also before I forget, do 2-3 warm up sets at the beginning of each day before your first core lift. Like if I am benching let's say 225 I would start out with 135, then bump it up to 185, then to 225 to start my sets.
Stay motivated, and push yourself. Lifting is a one man game, only you know how much you put into and that is how much you will get out of it. I love lifting.
cut out the junk,eat freash cooked food low carbs,and start of slow with the work out,and dont be doing any heavy weights that builds bulk you want to do loads of light weights and hundreds of sit ups (crunches) and swimming then when you lost some weight start runing but not before you lose weight otherwise you will damage your knees :)
Every time you get tempted by fat foods, stop, take a deep breath and look at the big pictures. Would you rather be thinner, sexier a few months from then or have a donut now?
I would also advise you to stop smoking herb. Munchies can be a killer.
I heard it on TV quite some time ago on a beer show. Who knows if what is true, but if you think about it, beer is loaded with, yeast, hops, barley, water and such, so it makes sense why a beer a day would be good for you. Take the alcohol out and it's even better, but I mean come on, what would be the point of beer, without the alcohol? Fuck that man. I never drank no non-alcoholic beer. :pQuote:

If you follow a healthy diet throughout the week, one meal a week you can have whatever you want. Frank Sepe's The Truth is a great book, along with any Arnold book.
My advice is to work out and do cardio along with a healthy diet and you should lose weight, tone up, get stronger, and build muscle. By healthy diet I don't mean you have to go vegan or anything. Just cut out the manufactured foods, try to go to Whole Foods even though they are expensive as fuck. Eat lots of protein, and carbs(good carbs not empty carbs).
The hardest part is the first month after that it is all downhill. Plus smoking weed after a hard workout is probably in the top 10 best feelings a man can have.
My routine got fucked transferring from excel lemme know if anyting confuses you.
if you starve yourself, you trick your body into losing fat, but when your body catches up, the fat cells will automatically close because you need fat for energy and warmth, since the fat cells will close and since your not eating, the body has no way of getting nutrients, so then i goes to the next best thing, it starts eating away at your muscles. thats why people who are anorexic have no muscles, because their body ate away at them for energy, thats why starving yourself doesnt work, you may think your losing weight, but you still have all that fat, its the muscles thats goneQuote:

Thanks for the support everyone. Today has been OK. For breakfast I had an egg, ham, and wheat tortilla burrito, for lunch at around 2 I had a sandwich with portugese roll, mustard, ham, cheese, and lettuce. Then tonight for dinner I am having turkey, stuffing, and veggies. I choked though, cuz I saw ice cream and it looked so good. Tommorow I am officially starting.
hey fat kid
do you have a camera
if you do
then remove your clothes and leave just your underwear
take a picture of your body and stare at it
that is what the ladies be looking at
every week take a new picture to see the results
Eggs are high in cholesterol. Ham is fatty, and so is the cheese. :)Quote:

So don't be discouraged if it takes you a few times.
Good luck. :)
hehehe sounds like you want some kiddie pornQuote:

Just do what you can do. Start simple.
Drink water, and juices, and if you order a burger, don't have fries and coke with it. Skip the ketchup, sauces and stuff like that. Skip deserts, do you really need it? Minor reductions like that guarantee success. If you give up on everything you like, you will fail. Reward yourself once in a while after you accomplish your goals. Rather than focusing more on what you eat, focus more on exercise.
Set your goals reasonably. Don't say "my goal is to lose 15 pounds." This is farsighted. Make more like "I'm going to jog for 30 minutes," or "I'm going to do 3 sets of squats, 100 pounds today." You are likely to succeed this way.
In terms of exercise, strength training (ex. lifting weights) is crucial to weight loss. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories it takes to maintain and you'll reach a point when fat loses itself. Get a membership to a gym, and there's group classes that can teach you how to workout properly. Form is more important than how much weight you lift.
For the other equation, cardio. What you want to try to do is sprint in intervals. This helps builds endurance, and engage fat loss. Start reasonably, if you been out of shape for so long, start with 15 minutes. Build up when you feel use to it. Get an mp3 player. Listen to some tunes while you do it. Cardio is boring as hell, at least with music it makes things interesting and pumped up. Same with lifting weights.
Find things you enjoy doing. If you like rock climbing, or hiking, that counts! Keep active in ways you enjoy. Not everyone is meant to be indoors lifting weights. There are plenty of non-traditional weight training regiments.
The last piece of advice I can give you is to have patience. It takes time. It takes will. Find your groove and once you hit it, you won't stop. Exercise can be fun and it makes you feel good.
Good luck FatKid. This should be your first stop for whatever info you need:

Hey, guys. No offense to any of you guys who responded to Lil Josh's post, which has now been taken down, but I also took down three or four posts in which several of you requoted his idea. That was irresponsible and silly on his part, even if he was kidding, and with eating disorders at an all-time high, I think it'd have been irresponsible for us to leave that visible. Just wanted to let you know what happened up above. If you ever see outlandishly bad ideas in threads like that, try to avoid requoting them in the event that they have to be taken down. Thanks, by the way, for the chorus of common nutrition sense in response to such stupid ideas!
That's a good idea.Quote:

Another thing Friendowl said was don't eat after 7pm. That is a great way to losing extra weight. You eat a huge meal or snack an hour before bed, your body doesn't burn it off, and you end up taking all of it in.
I am going to give you a little coaching boost here:
Egg=goodQuote:

Wheat is good... WHOLE wheat though. I think Mission makes a low-carb whole wheat tort that's really good.
Don't forget a midmorning snack!! Never let yourself get HUNGRY. Then you will make dumb food choices. If you like V8 juice, those little shooter cans are a great portable snack. Or fruit leathers, or a handful of pistachios...
Okay change the roll to multigrain bread.Quote:

Switch that ham to turkey
Lose the cheese if you want to be strict
And again, add some sort of vegetable.
Afternoon snack time!!! That cheese that would have been on your lunch sandwich is good to have now. String cheese comes in really low fat versions and can go in your pocket. Same with those little single-serving waxed cheese that come in the little mesh bag.
Go easy on that stuffing there big guy!!!Quote:

Turkey is yummy but steer clear of the dark meat and if you want gravy, limit yourself to just a splash.
Don't forget to drink your water!!!
:D
I would put more emphysis (not sure abt that word, lol) on exercise and water.
Exercising is (obviously) one of the most important things when you want to loose weight. But seriously, you gotta find something you really like. If you tell yourself ''ok, im gonna run 30 minutes each day'' but you fucking hate it and don't wanna do it, it will suck all the way. And when you get more active I can tell you that you feel wayy better and dont even feel the need for food.
Juices (even real juices) have a shitload of sugar in them. Drink only water, it makes a big ass difference. Plus, theres nothing better than water. Once you get the habit, you most likely prefer that to juice and soda. Or, if you wish, theres some good flavored water out there with no calories (or like 5 lol),they're awesome imo.
Hope it helps! good luck!
i know a way you could lose 60 pounds in 4 months.
I've lost like 80lbs in the last several months, and all this with VERY little physical activity. I'm down to a lean 160 now, and I did it by drinking lots of water, juice, eating raw veggies, lean red meat in proper proportions, baked chicken with a lttle lemon juice and parmasian cheese, Tuna and protien shakes, lol!
Your diet plays the biggest role in weight loss, bro.. ..
weight training, weight training, weight training. i came to college at 6'7", 250 and by november i was 210. i was in the best shape of my life, i gained a lot of strength while eating healthy. it's possible to lose weight fast and still do it in a healthy way - since i was fat, i found it very easy to lose the weight because muscle uses so many more calories. swimming is also great, it's a tough workout but its a lot more fun than running imo
how much do u weigh how tall are you? how many push ups can u do? get into some sort of sport
it all comes down to whether you absolutely want it, if it helps: your prospects of getting laid will shoot up ten fold if you go through with it.
Just start slow so you don't burn yourself out. Lots and lots of walking.
1.) Drink LOTS of water.
2.) Drink the occasional glass of milk and orange juice.
3.) Eat things with a decent amount of protein to keep you full and pumped for your workouts.
4.) Stay away from frozen foods and any other processed foods.
5.) Eat more lean chicken and fish. Have some brown rice and vegetables on the side.
6.) Excersize at least 30 minutes everyday!
