The getting in shape part has always tripped me up. I lost about 80 pounds and haven't really had trouble keeping it off but I'm still soft as shit even at my supposedly ideal weight. I can drop pounds pretty easily just through healthier living, but actually looking fit is a different matter entirely.
garythekid -Jiu Jitsu doesn't work - @garythekidHmmm. That's good to hear that you're feeling fine with em and the exercising. But also kinda disappointing that docs recommend against lifting heavy. I like getting my swole on :(
No...no problems yet! But it´s in a real low dose...so I guess it´s no big deal.
Fine experience so far...feeling good! I was doing MMA training last week (first time with meds)...and I do not feel like it´s having any effect on it.
The doc told me it´s good to do exercises with the meds...just no power lifting and stuff. Like really heavy weights and pushing to the limit. Extreme stuff like killer bench pressing...
I need to talk to my guy I guess. I hate doctors and always avoid going...
Yeah, right now...no problems yet.
I also avoid going to the doc if I am not sick to death. If I am not feeling bad, why should I go and hear that I have some issues.
14 days later...
Sorry for not showing up in here.
I was pretty sick the last week and not in the mood to sit on my computer.
But things are working...
Yesterday I was in the gym rolling and stepped on the scale before.
Man, I dropped down to 89,5kg (should be about 197 pounds).
My goal is 84 kg (185 pounds).
I have had a few really hard days...craving for more food or better "the wrong food".
Surprisingly it´s pretty easy to eat cleaner, once you know what to eat and what not.
Just sometimes...I would LOVE to eat the whole day...only unhealthy stuff...and lots of it!!! Haha!
But...everything´s fine...
My average calories-in are 1517kcal per day the last 4 weeks. Most of them ingested for dinner.
I prefer eating less over the day and eat with my family in the evening. 55% of all calories are taken at dinner, only 21% for breakfast.
I have bought a selection of protein shakes in different flavors from chocolate to vanilla. Actually they taste pretty good and I can do them with 300ml of milk what will be 256kcal. Or just plain with water (111kcal).
I love how the training in the gym is getting better and better. Even if it´s not such a huge weight loss...I feel better!!! In the past it was me that was heavy breathing. Now the cardio is getting up and I push others to their limits.
Result = More fun...more time at the gym.

Leigh - Well done, keep at it :) I do think those calories are too low thoughYeah...it's a little bit too low. But I feel bad when in the evening there are about 200 or 300 left and I make myself another snack.
It doesn't feel like diet...you know?
But I need to try to get as close as possible...
Long time no hear guys!
Pretty busy weeks and so much to do...
But here´s an update. Everything was working great, but then...stress caught my ass and I dropped into some kind of hole...wasn´t depressed or something, but really in a bad mood and ate too much from the wrong plates.
Here´s how my diet went:
I have started at 97kg (about 213lbs?) then dropped constantly down to 86kg (189lbs) in about 8 weeks...
Everything´s cool...my belly gets smaller (as you can see on the picture below)...and then boom! The shit hits the fan and I was in such a bad mood and ate way too much 5 days in a row...sweets, carbs...all the crap.
Today I see the 87,8 kg (193lbs) on the scale.
I was on such a good way...and I took notice that not caring about the input, my body responds in a bad way. Sure...sounds logical. But honestly...as I was eating healthy, my body was feeling good! My cardio was good...I really noticed, that GOOD food is GOOD to your body. Once I have started eating BAD things, my body showed me the next day, that it doesn´t like what I ate.
So...it´s time to get back on track!!!
The only issue I have noticed, due to a one sided diet...loads of protein, and less carbs...I am feeling floppy some days...and I do not wanna get down with my girl. And I was a guy who could jerk off to any female object on the street! Hahaha! But now, I am bored and I do not wanna f*ck.
But it´s getting better...I´ve started to supplement some zinc and magnesium and start feeling better.
My average calories-in was at 1548 per day. Most of them (59%) were taken at dinner.
16% breakfast, 15% lunch and 10% between meals.
31% some kind of pasta, 25% yoghurt and stuff, 44% different stuff.
I am eating a lot of protein and really really little carbs.
If you´re interested, I can post some pictures of my dinner meals.
But here´s the present picture.
Time to build up some muscles...
And for everyone waited so long for an update, this ones for you!
