The more the better! This can be the first community with shredded shredders XD.

Edit: The posts I made previously were quite long, very informative!, but long. Anyone actually read them? lol

Yeah I did. A lot of it I already knew, but the green tea thing was new. Which is cool, because I dig green tea.

i read them too..

Today's officially day one for me, so weight in is 196lbs (!). I'll document eating and exercise tomorrow morning by editing this post.

Thanks Tehk. Yeah I had gone from 230lbs. down to 192lbs. Im currently right around 200lbs. All I gotta say is for fat loss diet is 80% of it. You eat like shit and train you will lose very slowly or worse just maintain.

[tehk]

Congrats on the loss Jason! . I'm sure in one months time, anyone who starts sticking to a diet/training routine will achieve tremendous improvements.

[Jeff]

Ah, Shit.

So day one:

Breakfast: Special K
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Peanut butter sandwich, Dole Pineapple, Baked Lays
Dinner: Special K, slices of skim milk cheese (not together, obviously)

Exercise 20 minutes on the elliptical, 50 crunches.

Jeff:
Not bad for a start, but I strongly suggest you add some protein and some greens into your diet.

And don't eat Special K for dinner, lol. You'll need something more fulfilling (since you're not planning to eat before bed) to keep your stomach/system happy for the duration between dinner and breakfast.

I suggest any kind of meat (6-8oz. portions), however, fish/chicken/turkey is recommended for weight loss.

Followed by some nice complex carbohydrates, (go easy on these guys though!!!) such as Sweet potatoes, whole wheat bread, brown rice, the healthy stuff.

And for the greens, go for some hearty stuff like broccoli, zucchini, or asparagus. Greens filled with great vitamins, fibers, and nutrients that have properties of making you feel full longer .

Have some protein for breakfast as well; eggs would be a perfect option (use mostly/all whites if you can)

Add another meal/snack between lunch/dinner so you don't feel too hungry (and your metabolism won't drop).

Good luck!

P.S. Ditch the chips

If you want a tasty PB&J sandwich, buy some all natural unsweetened jam from the store. I'm not sure about where you guys live, but they sell the stuff locally at the farmer's market. Just mashed up berries I think. Quite good, and they sell it in blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, grape, and a couple others.


For my progress, I'm just out of school now, so no more phys. ed class, so I'll definately have to get off my ass some more this summer.

Since February I'm down about 16 pounds from 211 to 195. I'm about 5' 11". I have absolutely no idea what to eat really to achieve my weight goals (around 170) and how to exercise to get there. 25 pounds seems like so far to go.

tehk, if you're willing to help me write out some meal plans and maybe advise me what to do for exercise, that would be cool. I'm still young (17 almost 18) so I'm not sure if the diet should vary among different age groups.

For exercising my preference honestly is cycling. We've also got an old York weight macine in the basement aswell as an elliptical, maybe I could do those a couple times a week aswell.

Also, I don't drink or smoke. Thanks
