Ok guys i need some help here as you can see. How long will it take me to lose this fat and how hard would i need to work out? I work alot so its kinda hard for me to spend alot of time in the gym. Any helpful hints will be great. Feel free to make ANY comments, good or bad. I could use the motivation. Thanks
First of all read the stickies in the Diet and Workout forums. Your bodyfat is not terrible. I would say you could make a significant change in your body compisition within three months if you adjust your diet correctly and workout consistently with weights/cardio. As far as fitting in working out around your schedule, that is going to take commitment on your part. Even when I was working 80 hours a week I'd find time to go to the gym and prepare my meals. It just depends on how bad you want it.
I agree! I get up at 4am to do 45 mins cardio 5 times a week before work. swim in my lunch hour twice a week play squash once a week and train 4 times a week at night and Sat - Sun.Quote:

Ditto on what the other guys said.
How long've you been working out?
Ive worked out since i was about 17. On and off. Thanks for the replies guys. Ill update pics with progress
2 months I would say you could get rid of a good chunk of that..but theres really not a whole lot there..sure you could lose some but I wouldnt say your bf is any higher that 18%
that’s hilarious......................:)Quote:

Remember, if you do cardio.. The best time is first thing in the morning.. Get up, have a cup of Coffee or some Caffeine drink and go for a power walk.. Caffiene helps break up the fat (someone correct me if im wrong)
Any upper... that being caffeine, ephedra, clenbuterol, speed, cocaine, crystal meth, etc... has a tendancy to burn fat and protect your hard earned muscle at the same time. The last 3 on the list are dangerous and shouldnt be tried because if you do those you loose all care about your health, quit working out and quit eating, but caffeine, clen and ephedra are relatively safe and they all have anti-catabolic properties because they increase your body energies by burning fat or cholesterol without your body having to release cortisol to get energy from your muscle stores.Quote:

i remember when i was 14 and was very obese. Had to meet with nutritionist and cardiologists so i was in a pretty bad condition. So i know what its like :)
Now i dunno my body fat, but atleast i've got a 6 pack so i'm pretty happy.
One of my buddies was chubby then started doing cocaine and working out man hes fukin ripped now.....im am not saying this is a good idea just thought id throw it out there
