My weightloss progress thread

[Lunk1]

405.. Ever try vermicelli? AMAZINGLY clean carb source made from green beans, peas and water. I think I'm going to have this instead of oats

Is that a complex carb.? Thats the idea behind oats, brn rice and yams. Carbs tht break down slowely and provide an energy source for longer periods.

Yes, says the Interwebs. Yes.

[GreMos]

What's a better carb for Dieting. I'm assuming high GI because it'll stop the bodies ability to metabolize fat for less time. But on the other hand if I'm not in a huge hurry to shred wouldn't Low GI be better because I'm getting so little carbs (60/20/20) so it'll give me a better stream of fuel throughout the morning ?

I say morning because all mu carbs are split in 2 meals. Breakfast and PWO. which I train in between those two meals.

[Back In Black]

Low GI. As much as possible. Sometimes I'll have a white bagel or white potato. If its a white something against its whole grain equivalent I wouldn't sweat it too much. The whole grain will give you more fibre though.

If by simple you mean something like jelly beans (and I don't think you do mean that) then steer well clear!

[GreMos]

This is what I go by...
I do apologize for its length

Bare in mine 0-55 considered low GI. 56+ high GI
Pure glucose being 100.

Can I suggest you google 'glycemic load' for some further research. You'll be combining your carbs with protein every time (I hope) so its much more valid than the index alone.

I will! I'm heading in for 2 12 hour night shifts starting tonight so.. Throw some google searches out for me for good reading material tonight!!

[GreMos]

So I woke up fasted cardio for 35 minutes or so. Couldn't handle the hunger so I had to jump off and onto meal#1 chicken, beans, vernecelli or whatever it's called. Hit the gym for some legs.

Ham string curls
Standing ham string curls
Stuff legged deadliest
Retarded amount of leg extensions
Hack squats supersetted with sissy's

Couldn't handle anymore so I called it there. The wheels are still getting used to being spun.

Had all meals at appropriate times. Now I'm at work over night. Sucks but oh well.

[Lunk1]

While doing your major cut I would stick to the big 3 only (I have no knowledge about that other stuff you are eating..must be a Cunook thing )

In this oder
Oats
Brn Rice
Sweet potatoes

I will. I just needed something quick and easy and tasty that wasn't oats.

By the way... love the new AVI! You are going to be a frkn monste man...I see a competition in your future!!!

Thanks! 2015 is my new goal. Let's hope all you guys help me there! If I ever place 1st in any comp in my life and they ask me any question I'll say "First off im dedicating this to the sick bastards online who got me where I am today"


Dreams never hurt anyone eh? Hahaha

Hey! I resemble that remark

[GreMos]

Alright so I'm going to suck it up and post my pictures from now on.. Don't hate on me.



See how my chest is pchay? I know it's covered in million lbs of fat but it doesn't show at all.

But whatever.. I figured if I'm going to post them eventually why not post them now... you guys have been nothing but good too me!

A good man told me

'it's not about where you start, it's the journey you go on and the end point that matters'



Thanks!

[Back In Black]

Mate, congrats on having the balls to post that. Plenty of people here talk the talk but fail to put up!

You have lots of work to do but man, I reckon your chest will be beastly once you strip that covering off. I'd have you closer to 30% than 25% but that's only 1 angle.

It's gonna be one hell of a journey for you my man. Just gonna wait and see how many people suggest a wax and a tan

Haha yeah why not right. Everyone knows I'm fat... I'm 283-288 lbs. So what's to hide. Atleast I'm putting that effort in right !!

And yeah I'm still looking for somewhere that does hydrostatic..

Wax and tan? I tan VERY easily so I don't waste my time in a bed all year. And ... You'll all have to fight my gf for me to wax. And she's a fiesty one.

[GreMos]

So I'm terrible at updating.

I'm going to take another test regarding BF% tomorrow and see what it says. I'll add and divide and get the general results. Best I can do without HS being available. Then re-think my diet. Seems I'm going absolutely nowhere even with all the cardio and training.

Numbers aren't changing at all but the guy in the mirror is but that could be me playing Jedi mind tricks on myself. FVCKING HALP

[GreMos]

405 you've been missing. My motivation is diminishing everyday you don't coach me.

My imminent failure is on you.

[bikeral]

Hang in there Gre.

1. Stay consistent with training
2. Stay consistant with diet
3. Keep cheats to a minimum (A couple of cheats can burn a weeks hard work, just not worth it)
4. Take one day at a time-- Plan your meals and training and stick to it, the days become weeks, weeks months, well you get it.

I started at 282lbs and am down to 204lbs. You can do it man.

[--->>405<<---]

Mate, congrats on having the balls to post that. Plenty of people here talk the talk but fail to put up!

^^ agree 100%. ur not here to impress people. ur here to take advantage of the knowledge and get leaner and imrove ur physique. if someone doesnt like it i say FVK EM!

You have lots of work to do but man, I reckon your chest will be beastly once you strip that covering off. I'd have you closer to 30% than 25% but that's only 1 angle.

go get a wax and a tan man! (BTW i got the same wax and tan thing from my man stem and everyone else.)

405 you've been missing. My motivation is diminishing everyday you don't coach me.

sorry buddy i had some stuff to do today not very often that occurs as u will find when u stick aound. (notice i didnt say "if")

[GreMos]

go get a wax and a tan man! (BTW i got the same wax and tan thing from my man stem and everyone else.)

Stem waxed you? hoooweeee it's gettin hot in here

[GreMos]

So I didn't make it to the gym today. 2 days in a row.. I hate that. But after getting off a terrible nightshift, only getting to bed at 7am, and waking up with that pain in my jaw again I rationalized and said **** it... I'll give my fresh ink another day to heal before I start opening my sweat glands and stretching it in awkward movements. Oh well..

So bright and early tomorrow I'm heading in to do chest, calves, an abs. Skipping fasted cardio because as soon as I'm done I'm heading out of town to climb a mountain ! Two paths you can take.. Easy or rugged. I'm taking the hard way, should be interesting and good cardio.

And I must have been retaining a lot of water.. I hopped on the scale for fun and its 10:30pm, I just ate and all that and I just weighed in at 283. So tomorrow my weight should be great!! Good results are coming!!

[GreMos]

Ok so.. I didn't get to gym again today but I spent 6 hours hiking up and coming down a mountain. I am SPENT. It offers too different routes, one is easy and the other is hard. We took the hard route both ways. OMFG hardest thing I've ever done.



You see that tiny bit of Rock at the bottom of the screen? Yeah. That's what I was standing on. Look top left.. See those ITSY BITSY TINY TREES. This is half way. So... I was ****ing high.
820 meters.. Highest elevation in this whole section of the country. CONQUERED.

I know this is my weightloss thread but whatever.. Was some boss ass cardio..

[--->>405<<---]

sounds fun! now

get in the weight room dammit!!

[GreMos]

sounds fun! now

get in the weight room dammit!!

Ugh... Will only be able to return to the weight room MONDAY... Have another tattoo session tomorrow, then go into work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. So I can only go Monday night.

IM SORRY... Everyone has these set backs though. It'll give my CNS a damned good break. I feel like shit as it is.. Can't believe this week turned out so perfectly damned horrid. Ah well. I'm doing to 280lbs btw. Yeehoo.

[GirlyGymRat]

405 got lost in the steriod forum again????

SteM never told me to get a wax and tan!

Posting pics is one of those necessary evils NOW...later tho...could be happiness if you are like bikerAL = "steady eddie"

just curious - do u work extra long hours that u can't squeeze in the weight room on your work days?....like firefighters that do these crazy long shifts...and then get a few days off?

I like that u have a goal to compete and i luv setting goals for myself, but lately have realized the importance of monthly shorter term goals.....and rewards...like awesome platform heels!

[GirlyGymRat]

Can I suggest you google 'glycemic load' for some further research. You'll be combining your carbs with protein every time (I hope) so its much more valid than the index alone.

so......is this the idea?

protein + fat is gtg
protein + complex carb is gtg
protein + simple carb (jelly beans) is
carb + fat is

As a general rule of dieting, yes. But the glycemic load refers to the glycemic index of a food changing when you combine it with another good. Say a white bagel has a GI of 100, well, that changes/reduces when you eat it with, say, a chicken breast. Doesn't make it ok to eat unrefined carbs all the time but once in a while is ok.

[GreMos]

Gmos in platforms??? I want to see that pic

Ou baby baby

The more you ask the better the chance

Hahahahahahaha... No

[GreMos]

I'm sticking on the right eating diet.. Gaining weight. I might just give up and GIVE MYSELF LYPO WITH A FORK AND VACCUUM.

****. I'm not handling this 'forced days out of the gym' thing very well. I feel massively fat and gross and like I'm instantly losing all my muscle.

People... This is going to be more of a challenge than you expected. You're going to have to pipe up and suggest a new tactic because my weight and measurements aren't budging. And I'm NOT cheating... This is horseshit. I'm so negative right now.

Such a piss off web you spend $100's on groceries and hours cooking and prepping and get up everyday to do cardio and do OT throughout the day to have NO progress...

[Back In Black]

What's your weight this morning?

How many cardio sessions in the last week?

How many weights sessions in the last week?

Are you weighing your food cooked or raw?

I didn't weigh myself this morning. Late getting up to get to work.

I did I think 8 cardio sessions this week. Between morning, day, and climbing that FVCKING mountain.

And weight sessions wouldn't be much. Between tattoo, and work crossing over gym closing times I've been screwed. So I'm not sure 1 or 2. Usually 5-6 on the dot never miss a beat.

I weigh me foods cooked.

[Back In Black]

Mate, it's imperative that you weigh your foods uncooked. 4oz of chicken cooked may have started life at 6oz but it may have started at 5iz. Same applies to everything you cook. Weigh first and use those macro's.
