Update on the Workout

[ZX2guy19]

Alright well since CJW fails at sites (lol jk) I will update my workout/weight loss thread.

Basically, I'm rockin' out with my cock out. No joke. I started at 197, and today I weighed in at 189.6. :D I started Weight Watchers again last Monday, so it hasn't even been 2 weeks and already almost 8 lbs, with working out. I am actually really happy. It's crazy.

I have another question:

I drink...about 6 bottles of water a day. It isn't possible to like over hydrate is it? My shit lately has been like massive but when I wipe, nothing on the TP, like there is a force field of water on it. LOL

Any help? Thanks guys.

Still doing 100 crunches a night btw, which isn't a ton but it's better then nothing.

[WickedZ]

I dont know what to say. Should I say congrats or thats fucking sick lol.

good luck with the weight thing, but yeah on the whole other problem HAHA

[ZX2guy19]

LOL, thanks man. I am proud of myself since I went out to eat like 3 times with friends and just got like a salad. The way I look at it is I enjoyed tons of food for 18 years, now is time to grow up and get my health together.

I just shit a water turd again. WTF

[WickedZ]

Well I am 6"2 and been around 155-165 most. gf got prego bam gainned 20 lbs. Now I lost it all again since the move to FL. damn it hots here and I drink like 100 16.9 fl ozs of those tiger gateraid drinks. My fav

[joshalabama]

Are you doing a no carb thing? What is it called, Kanosis?

[ZX2guy19]

Nope, I eat a banana for breakfast with two bottles of water, a 300 calorie lunch with 2 bottles of water, and about a 450 calorie dinner with 2 bottles of water. I eat tons of carbs, I just don't eat as much.

[joshalabama]

Oh okay. Going into Katosis while working out will effectivly cause you to lose 10lb in a week around 20lb in a month. You starve your body of carbs, starts consuming body fat. You will notice the loss in your face, arms, legs first...then eventually your body. You will be hungry all the time though. You can eat a ton of food and it is smart to take vitamins. Just no carbs.

[ZX2guy19]

I did that, and the second I ate one noodle I gained all 40 lbs back. It took me almost 2 years to gain back the 40 lbs I lost from weight watchers. It really is the best diet.

[joshalabama]

That is true...Once you go off it you gain it back. Well if this is working for you congradulations. I just love food so I would have a hard time if I ever had to start dieting.

[zxtuner98]

Im pretty happy being almost 5'10 at 200lbs. Ive kept to a workout schdule for 2 years I need to eat healthier tho, i eat like shit. You inspire me brad. I dont even eat breakfast, i just eat throughout the whole day which is no good at all

[ZX2guy19]

Thanks man. Currently I am 5'11" 189. I wanted 185 when I graduated, and that is going to happen 100%.

[joshalabama]

Congradulations.

[zxtuner98]

Thanks man. Currently I am 5'11" 189. I wanted 185 when I graduated, and that is going to happen 100%.

So your more or so "out of shape" ? As was i when i started my schedule two years ago. Pay off is wonderful my dude.

[ZX2guy19]

Yah I'm out of shape you can say. I hope the payoff is good, right in time for college. Woot.

[zx2vt]

Sounds like you are having great success. Congratulations!

I've never heard of a maximum amount of water that one should consume daily. The reccommended 6-8 servings (8 fl. oz. each) per day is what I try to maintain.

Personally, I don't think I would make it through the day with such a low calorie intake. lol.

[zxtuner98]

You can OD on water. No joke. It's like a high because it wipes you out. All your energy is gone. It's dangerous. You cant OD on 6 bottles though. I drink about a gallon a day. Beats the hell out of pop and it saves on the calories.

[zxtwou2]

keep goin' bro! i'm hoping to be back at my post-boot camp weight in a year from now. i only have 60 lbs to go!

[ZX2guy19]

Thanks guys, good luck to all who are doing this too. It's not fun but hopefully it pays off!

[zxtwou2]

it will definietly pay off...even if you just lose a little. the most you lose, the better payoff you'll have. you'll have a longer, happier life...and it'll be easier to get chicks.

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

well first poop tread ever congrats being the first lol. anyways congrat to losing weight. i should but my girlfriend doesn't want me to lose to much cuz she uses my stomach as a pillow lol

well with this attitude, you will succeed:D

This is where your view is all wrong. Weight watchers is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. The weight will always come back if you don't stick to the new lifestyle. Once you get to your goal and figure out how much you should be eating (and exercising) to maintain then that's what you need to do for life (or until your body changes it's metabolism, etc.). Of course you can still splurge and do those other things, but you need to get back on plan to maintain that weight goal.

But I agree, Weight Watchers is the best plan! I lost 60lbs before I got pregnant and I've lost 11.6 in the last month since I joined again. About 25 lbs. left for me to get to goal. The only time I've gained in the last year and a half is when I had to stop to have a baby, lol.

ive tried the diet idea, but im 6 feet tall and i weigh 285. The main problem with me is i dont lose weight ill go work out and lift weights and bam i end up gaining more weight, it is so hard for me to lose weight its close to impossible and i just keep gaining it, i kno i gain muscle but still i hate to tell people im 285 because i really dont look it

your a big dude. that is all. Muscle weighs more than fat.

[yellow2000S/R]

Congrats Brad!

I'm still hovering around 230 lbs from starting at 244.5 back 3 months ago. I weigh myself in the morning and I was 228.5 yesterday, today I am 230.5 which I expected because of how much I ate last night LOL.

My weight loss has been from just eating closer to recomended portions and cutting back on soda. I used to get refils at resturaunts, now I stretch out 1 glass of soda. At fast food places I drink maby 1/2 the soda and trash the rest. When at home, I'm always drinking water and once in a while apple juice or skim milk.

I'll loose it all today tho. I'll be on the treadmill later.

[Fordboy]

yea im not really much of a cardio kinda guy, me working out is going to go lift wieghts. the closest i get to cardio is when i have football practice here at college.

the funny thing is as a incomming freshman into high school i was just barely 200 and now as a freshman in college i weigh 285

so in 5 years i gained 85 lbs, is that alot?

[SoCalZX2]

I'm 6'3" and was 255# as of yesterday morning. I have about 55# to go and I'm sure I'll look pretty anorexic at 200# lol. So we'll see where I'm @ when I'm about 215-220.

I'm around 6'2" and online stuff says 185 is the weight most people this height want, then you go from there based on what you do.

[AZN_ZX2]

Glad to hear your workout is going well brad. I gave up on my friend cuz whenever I can't be there with him he doesn't go. No motivation or dedication so I said fuck it I'm wasting my time

[ZX2guy19]

Gained 1.4 lbs this weekend :(

[AZN_ZX2]

Eh could be water weight lol

[SoCalZX2]

Seems stupid, but I can finally go back to the gym now... I got my iPod. I don't like most of the music they play over the speakers, nor the fact that when they have an announcement (pretty often) it interrupts the songs.

So now I look forward to forcing the habit back into shape and starting up on Monday. The nice thing is, besides the excess baggage, I'm actually in great physical health. I just had blood work done was well as an echocardiagram and chest xrays. (my family wanted me to get checked out for something specific)

[mechtech]

There were a few instances where people overhydrated and died. A bike racer incident was a famous recent one.
The instantaneous lowering of salts/minerals in the blood did it.
It's good to drink a lot of water and flush things and keep hydrated, but under severe circumstances you can overwhelm your body's design and function.
I used to force drink to prevent dehydration, but overdid it one day and almost passed out. It was not from a LACK of water, because I was pounding it down all day.

[Fordboy]

what about gatorade, i know its bad for u if u dont do activity but isnt it good once and a while in small doses bc it has more in it than water

[arkarsk]

I drink...about 6 bottles of water a day. It isn't possible to like over hydrate is it?

Yes it is actually

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication

If by 6 bottles you mean those 591ml ones, you're perfect. If they're 1L or more, it may be a bit too much - but not nearly enough for water poisoning.


Congrats on shedding those pounds, I bet it's a great feeling to see the results of your effort!


what about gatorade, i know its bad for u if u dont do activity but isnt it good once and a while in small doses bc it has more in it than water



It has calories and electrolytes to stave off dehydration. If for example you had a hard night of drinking and puked your guts out, then passed out, it would be smarter to drink gatorade rather than water the next morning. Water is in general devoid of any vitamins or minerals (depending on your source), and just plain water wont have you feeling well again.

Regardless, if you want to lose weight, you might think of only drinking gatorade before or after exercising, and not a full bottle at either time.

[ZX2guy19]

Well I gained about 2 lbs this weekend. I had a really active weekend with friends and we just chilled and such but that led to no exercise and unhealthy food. No biggie, tomorrow starts another week.

Yes, you can actually overhydrate. I found this out the hard way. Was drinking over 2 gallons of water a day, and it made me go to the bathroom so often, that I was actually de-hydrating myself.... I know it sounds weird, lol. You should be drinking about a gallon of water a day. A little more if you are SUPER active, but thats about right. Another thing too, try and drink your water as COLD as possible. The colder the water, the more it takes your system to process it, in effect, burning more calories. It's not a lot, but every little bit helps!!
