If you were trying to lose weight, then good job.

If you weren't, then, uh... go see a doctor?

Yeah, like butter. Warm, juicy, dripping buttery toast, better yet...Man, doesn't that make you want to gain 10 pounds on buttered toast?

Trying to get back to my HS weight of 205. I'm at 215 right now. It's hard trying to lose weight when you keep putting on muscle.......and the fat stays around as well.

I weigh 115 lbs, so I don't really worry about weight.

Still, congratulations.

If I lost pounds, I'd be able to hide behind lampposts like they do in cartoons... On second thought, that sounds awesome.

I really have to bulk up for football next year. Right now I'm kinda wimpy, 6'0 168 lbs, but hopefully by next year I can get up to 180-185 and be a legit High School Tight End.

Actually, that was my goal! I need to take a new picture of myself now that I lost all this weight but I have no camera.

Andre: I stopped lifting and started running and biking exclusively. That worked. -CSM

Weights are good for strength training - not so much for weight loss. Cardio (bike, running, etc) is good stuff.

This, if you're looking to solely lose weight, cardio is your best bet. If you're wanting to tone yourself while losing weight, do some push-ups and sit ups every night, and don't stop after 2-3 weeks like most people do. Little things like that take months to build.

Good job on losing the weight once again CSM. I'm aiming at dropping 30 by February.

I lost 10 pounds the last time I ordered Chinese.

I find that if I start lifting exclusively, I'll drop anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds before it stops. I've found lifting works faster at burning off fat deposits, but you don't actually lose weight since you're converting it to muscle.

Hands down best way to lose weight IMO is swimming laps. If that's not an option, Elipticals + stationary bikes daily combined with light lifting 3x a week is pretty good.

Or just watch what you eat and portion control. Go to water-only for drinking and eat healthier will do more for most people than exercise.
