I've decided to step my game up: exercise EVERY DAY.

I will do a full weight-lifting circuit on MWF. On every other day, I will walk for 30 minutes.

Eventually get it up to a jog, then a good run. You'll get there, homeboi. I need to get back on top of things myself.

Sounds awesome! That's what I did for a summer. Though, cycling instead of walking for me since that's what we had so no excuse rain or shine.

We're getting back to the gym next week, so I'm excited. Since going vegetarian, my nutrients have been much better, and I have some good energy to work with.

Getting back into the workout game tomorrow. I've been out of it for about 2-3 months now, which is bad. But I need to get back into it for many reasons, the main one being I need to feel better physically.

I just lost 5.2 pounds in a single week. I followed the calorie information from this site and I was able to do it.

I am now sitting on the cusp of breaking the 300 barrier. I'm at 301.8. Next week is when I should finally be able to say that I'm 2xx. I'll keep you posted.

That's amazing, man. Congrats. Too bad you are doing it the wrong way, lulz.

Yeah, it's too bad your results are invalid because you can't diet right. Shame.

I've been doing the Grouse Grind every week the last month.

It's a climbing/hiking trail up Grouse Mountain here in Vancouver. It was built to be extremely difficult as there are 2700+ very steep steps carved into the rock, some sections you have to climb with your hands, some there are ropes built in. There is a release of liability at the base that states you take all responsibility for what happens to you on the trail.

The world record is about 26 minutes, while the average for people in decent shape is about an hour.

I'm finally in good enough shape again to do it under an hour. Yay.

Also I met the girl im now seeing on the first time I went up it. Yup.

Alas, I was correct in my assumption that it was water weight the previous week. I can't say I wasn't hoping for a miracle to keep up with that pace, but I already knew from research not to be completely discouraged.

This week, I am down 0.8 pounds, putting me at exactly 301 pounds. I wonder if my weight training is the reason I didn't lose a full pound. But still, a pound a week is a good deal. So this IS working, even if it's a bit slower than I'd like.

For the last two weeks, I've only hit the gym twice a week instead of the full MWF. When I started the first week, I was so tired I didn't go on Friday, so this week I had to do the same to compare the same scenarios exactly. So what I'll do this week is definitely go MWF, follow the chart the same, and see what the results are.

Congrats on the fat loss and getting onto a solid workout schedule, ix. I highly doubt it was the weight training that kept you from that pound. Lifting can help as much if not more then cardio if u can keep your heart rate up throughout by having shorter rest periods. And if I were you, I wouldn't follow the chart exactlly the same. The better way, in my experiance, is to always try and beat your last workout, especially with lifting. Even if you only get one rep more or add half a pound you'll know you are getting stromger and making gains. Try and do that every week. That might help with putting on lean muscle mass, which speeds matabolism and thus fat loss. Regardless, just keep at it man. You're already making progress and getting to know what your body reacts well too.

I haven't let up any. I ended my bulk on like may 25thish. I was 185 at my heaviest. Then I decided to jump into a cut for the summer. Try to lean out. I ran into a few road blocks with surgery and I started to get a shoulder impigment. That's still effecting me a little, but I think I'm past it. As of right now I'm at 178.5 with a body fat% between 9-11. I'm as strong if not stronger now then when I was 185 so I'm pretty sure it was fat loss.

I actually just got a job at the gym I workout at so I get a free membership. I think I'm gonna start bulking again, try to get up to 195. I figure if I'm working at a gym I should be bulging through the shirts, no? lol I'm gonna give myself like 8-12 months to put on 15lbs. That's a somewhat ambitious, but still reasonable goal. Gotta shoot high.

Changing the weight or the routine a little bit will shock the body and allow it to continue making positive gains. Doing the same thing constantly will cause the body to adapt and make little Toni gain.

Weighed myself for today.

Calories per day: 1924
Exercise: MWF (Heavy-low rep, Light-high rep, Heavy-low rep)
Weight: 300.2 lbs! (-0.8 from last week)

Another week, I'm down another near-pound. I swear, that .2 pound is taunting me. I'm SO CLOSE to the threshold. But next week, I'm positive I'll finally be under 300!

Weighed myself for today (a bit early since I'll be at Fox's place). I've finally done it!

Calories per day this week (Saturday-Friday): 1907
Exercise: MW (Light-high rep, Heavy-low rep)
Weight: 299.8 lbs! (-0.4 from last week)

I'm kind of in shock. I've been 3xx so long. This is the lightest I've ever been in my adult life. Over the course of this month so far, I've lost 7.2 pounds.

Determination and the grace of God have I been able to do this.

I'm excited for you, man. And this is great motivation to keep going at it.

But you've doing it wrong. *shakes head*

Haven't updated in a while, but that's because I spun my wheels in place for a couple weeks. I went up .8, then I worked hard to get back down .8. Now, I finally have a new week of progress:

Calories per day this week (Saturday-Friday): 1900
Exercise: MWF (Light-high rep, Heavy-low rep, Light-high rep)
Weight: 299.2 lbs! (-0.6 from last week; -7.8 from August 2, 2012)

I could have probably lost a bit more this week, but I wanted pizza on Saturday, then I went over to SK's mom's house for tacos and then I took Fox to the airport at 5am and stayed up by getting some Denny's in my system. Can't say it wasn't tasty, though, but I'm sure these kinds of things are rare, so I don't mind that much.

I'm back again. I didn't update last week because I was sick and didn't go to the gym. Cost me a week of gym training, but I tried to at least keep to calories for the most part. I didn't exercise on Wednesday because I had to work late, so I took a -500 calorie penalty for that.

Calories per day this week (Saturday-Friday): 1900
Exercise: MF (Heavy-low rep, Light-high rep)
Weight: 297.4 lbs! (-1.8 from two weeks ago; -9.6 from August 2, 2012)

Keep it up Ixzion, remember, Nobody trains to lose.

Ah, right on. Thanks Duel.

Update:
I gained a pound last week, but I'm not quite sure why. I decided to wait until this week to see if the trend would continue, but it did not, as you can see below.

Calories per day this week (Saturday-Friday): 1900
Exercise: T (Heavy-low rep)
Weight: 296 lbs! (-2.4 from two weeks ago; -11 from August 2, 2012)

Thanks to the beauty of my new rice cooker, I am now planning my meals ahead of time so I can hit my calorie quota with confidence.

Right now I have multiple tubs of brown rice, white rice, and fish ready to be eaten today. My calorie target is a little over 2500, and without a cheat meal (like fast food) it can be a wee bit difficult to consume that amount.

But, here we go!
