I knew after that month I had to be in for a life if I wanted to stay fit ... Some people are naturally skinny, some people are naturally overweight and some people have abs and built without never lifting a finger. The key to my cardio was always try to run outside if it was possible. Being overweight I was obviously somewhat of a lazy person. So if I was running at the gym on the treadmill I could easily quit running after 20 minutes and that was that. When you run outside if you get 2 or 3 miles from your house you can't just quit, you still have to go back haha. I also noticed that when I was heavier I lost the weight more easily. So when I hit a plateau where I wasn't loosing weight for 2 weeks at time. I would strap on a 50lb weight vest and run with it ... The plateau would be crushed by my body thinking I was 50lbs heavier. This is exactly why I joined this forum. It's crap to go pay 300$ a month at gym for a trainer to tell people how to loose weight or gain muscle when he/she has never had to go through loosing tons of weight. Now they might know the theories and science behind on how too but they can't truly know how it feels to be there in that spot. Here you are dealing with people who actually had to experience the same thing your trying to achieve.
