littleitalian79 Posts: 1 Joined: 2006/11/22	2006/11/22, 08:39 PM I have been trying for about 3 years to loose weight. I have come to a point in my life where it just dont go anywhere. I will loose 5 or 6 pounds but a month later it will be back. I am trying to loose weight not just to look better. I am worried about my health. I am only 27 years old I was told that due to my uncontrolled weight I may not be able to have children until I can get my weight under control. I have something called PCOS and it all revolves around my weight. I have my whole life ahead of me. But the weight just won't come off. Please help me if you can. I would appreciate it so much.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2006/12/14, 12:09 PM Man,I wish I could take a hammer and pound into folks' heads to forget about some 'fat burning zone', or even the amount of fat burned during exercise. What makes the difference is what you do between training sessions. You may actually burn very little fat during your exercise, but it is the 'vehicle' for you to burn fat. Losing fat is all about calories. ============ Quoting from oldmacdonald: I have joined a gym (Curves)and I do a circuit of resistance training for 30mins three times a week.I am confused about my pulse rate.My resting rate is 62 beats per minute.

shaunbroyhill Posts: 115 Joined: 2006/12/30	2007/01/04, 12:07 PM You don't need supplements, machines, nor weights to lose weight. All it takes is watching what you eat, making sure you eat the right foods at the right times in the right quantities. For your cardio, if you are out of shape start by just going for a walk everyday, then mixing in some walking/jogging combinations, then straight jogging. For the weight training, what I have a lot of people do is just go around there house and look for cans of food or miscealaneous objects around the house to do repititions lifting, or take an empty milk jug, fill it with water, and lift that. Also in response to bb1fit's comment, he is 100% exactly right (which he usually is). The whole concept of losing weight/burning fat is by a calorie deficit. If you take in more calories than your body uses, than you store it as fat. If you take in less, the opposite happens. You actually lose very little fat during the workout, it occurs mostly during the rest of the day while your body needs to pull from something to maintain you for the rest of the day. Fat is slower in breaking down, so your body doesn't use much of it during the workout because it isn't a feasible energy source. For example, if you were running a cash register in a store during a busy time, and someone paid you in cash, would you make change for every order out of the register door that opens up, which is easily accesable, or make change out of the locked safe in the office, which is still doable but more time consuming and less efficient? Same basic concept. Figure the fat as that money in the safe. You wait until after the busy time to replenish the cash register door from the safe (fat). Hope this helps.
conan_0822 Posts: 441 Joined: 2006/11/23	2007/01/05, 12:45 PM Rabbit, I lost 10 pounds without any supplements in about 10 weeks. I didn't really change my diet drastically. I simply cut back on the amounts I was eating. I was a bit concerned when I started the weight training thinking I might negate some of my losses, but I guess I had enough fat to continue to lose weight. As far as supplements and the diets, I am at a total loss. I've read for hours and still can't make heads nor tails of them!!
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/01/05, 01:09 PM As you diet and start to get very lean, then supplementation can be useful. But it is not of the type that the fast fat loss scam artists would have you use. As you become lean, and with long periods of dieting, cortisol begins to run rampant, thyroid starts to slow along with metabolism, test levels decrease, leptin and gherlin get totally wacky...this is what supplements may help. Supplements here can help your body keep 'humming along' so to speak with less detrimental aspects, like tons of muscle loss along with fat. But, this is when dieting to very low bodyfats, like competition levels. There can be no 'breaks' many times here either, as the contest will not wait for you to get ready for it. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."

blessed6386 Posts: 6 Joined: 2007/06/06	2007/06/14, 11:35 AM Good Day, I am Jomari.. 21. I am 5' 9" 224lbs. This may seem to be high for my height, but I am also built wide. The thing I am trying to become clear on is the muscle burning and fat. Is this a good assumption technically: if I work out harder for muscle gains while maintaining my caloric diet, it will natural utilize my fat to build the muscle thereby, possibly, maintaining my weight, but decreasing my fat? Or will it just build muscle beneath my fat, making me an even wider guy? I ask this because I can see my abdominal muscles through the sheet of fat. The insulation of fat and side handles are what bothers me. I dont care about my weight, but about the overall look of my body

Pantastic Posts: 1 Joined: 2009/10/05	2009/10/05, 09:31 AM Hey guys. I have a friend who I bring to the gym with me, and he and I have been trying this whey protein; "Gold Standard". I only bought a small amount to see if I would be satisfied with the results. There's a catch though. I'm doing more of a cardio workout to burn fat, and my friend is doing more of a muscle building workout. He claims that I should still take this protein because it will help me lose weight and build lean muscle. I was under the impression that protein was more for body building. Is what he said true?

benstryffeler Posts: 1 Joined: 2010/04/22	2010/04/22, 03:53 PM Here's my question: How do I fight the fatigue and muscle loss that's nagging me after two months of starting a workout routine? I'm 32, an active duty Gunny in the Marine Corps and even though I've been plagued with a couple injuries and surgeries I have been able to stay in good shape. Usually 235lbs and 12-15% body fat at 6' 3". I just recovered from a rib injury and hit the gym pretty hard around the holidays. I do 30-45 min of cardio in the am upon waking and then go to the gym at the end of my work day at 3pm (Mon-Fri). My diet is relatively good, only allowing myself one cheat day a week. I stay away from sweets and sodas. Drinking only water, milk and protein shakes. I started to improve my overall fitness and body fat around the end of Feb beginning of March, but hit a wall about the second week of March....been tryin to recover ever since. I'm tired all of the time and I have to MAKE myself workout instead of being excited to. My gains in the weight room were climing and now I'm lifting half as much. It's very frustrating. I don't mean to write a novel, but I'm at a fork in the road and need a little direction. I've never had an issue with this since I'm normally in really good shape, but everything I've tried in the past to get there isn't working for me now.....any advice is welcomed!!! Thanks ============ Quoting from asimmer: You lose muscle when you exercise too hard or too much, without supporting it nutritionally. Exercising first thing in the morning has been shown to burn more calories the rest of the day in some studies, but other studies have contradicted those findings. Many people have had success losing fat by doing cardio first thing in the morning - it does raise your metabolism first thing, and I think it becomes a habit easier when it is the first thing you do. When you wait until later to do your cardio it is easier to let things take priority over it and end up not doing it. If it feels good and it seems to work for you, do it! It is a great way to start your day - thinkof how much you have accomplished, first thing in the morning you have already done more exercise than 60% of the population will do in their lifetime. If you wake up hungry - as i do - have a small, light protein based meal - i found that convenience-wise a lowor no-carb protein shake was quick and i could drink it while i got my workout clothes on and go. If you are a bodybuilder, concerned with losing muscle, take bbfit's advice - you could lose some mass. If you find that you are tired all day after adding am cardio - it could be it just isn't for you. We all have the same basic components, but it is amazing how differently our bodies rspond to different routines. remember to eat a good, balanced meal after your am cardio - get some glycogen into your muscles and give your body the protein it needs to prevent catabolism. No matter what time of day you do cardio, you are burning calories, boosting your metabolism and helping prevent life-style related diseases while strengthening your heart and lungs - not a bad deal at any time of day! And the intensity at which you do your cardio isn't as paramount as we used to think - yes, at lower-to-moderate intensity you tap more into bodyfat, but at higher or interval iuntensity you burn more total calories, which a percentage comes from fat, so either way you are doing good work. remember not to overdo it and fatigue your heart!!! You will get better results if you increase your fitness level at a reasonable pace than if you wear yourslf out. Good luck! ============= -------------- Ben S \"Regard your Soldiers as your children and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look onto them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death\" Sun Tzu
