Humm, so that's it!

It has to become part of your life at my age, I'm 5'10" @ 178lbs. I will try to live like there is no diet, It is just how much I eat and no more, maintaining control. I just know now, after such a hard time at first, the results make me remember how I felt and how I feel now, so I can't stop, unless I get too old and forget in the first place. I figure by then, I'll start eating,drinking & smoking like no tomorrow!

5'-11" and 182 lbs. 10% body fat. Eat my meat and green veggies. Take my vitamins. Six days in the gym. No secrets!

Scooterman · 12-10-2003, 11:45 AM

I run three days a week, need to work on the rest though!

I agree with Scott the key is reducing the amount of food you eat and being physically active. Since my daughter was born I have been less active and eat the same amount of food. The result is I've gained 10lbs and am heavier than I've ever been 5'10" 185

DICK · 12-10-2003, 12:14 PM

5' 8", 200lbs. Was 207 approx a week ago.
Just watching my intake.

Resistance training will build muscle and delay osteoperosis. Protein is the only thing your body can convert to muscle mass. Muscle weighs 5 times the same volume of fat. Your leg muscles have the potential to burn more calories than any other muscles, duh.

Calories per gram of intake:

Protein - 4
Carbohydrates - 4
Fat - 9

Congrats Dick, keep up the good work!

any alcoholic beverage is good for ya as long as it's taken in moderation

great info craig...I love protein

Scooterman · 12-10-2003, 12:29 PM

Maybe that is my problem Craig, I run so legs are trim, stomach on the other hand sucks! LOL!
I hurt my back years ago, so working the stomach & back is difficult at times. I need to get back to it though.

Craig Manoukian · 12-10-2003, 02:22 PM

Scott,

Until I started working my abs 5-6 days a week, I had back problems due to weak core muscles. I do a kneeling crunch using rope handles on a cable machine. You can use really light weights to start and add weight as you become more fit. You face the weight stack on your knees holding ropes on the side of your face and then the pull down with your abs, crunch. Keep your back rigid. It looks like doing prayers while on your knees bending at the waist. You have constant pressure on your abs and engage the core muscles along your spine as you control the weight up.

Hope that makes sense.

Way to go Craig!

I'm lucky to get into the gym 3x a week.

But at 5'9'', 190lbs, that is 15lbs down from last Christmas.
I still have 5-10 more to go, but I'm getting there. I think I may be defeating the weight loss with adding muscle mass, but I'll take that.

Keeping my intake under 1500 calories/day (usually

).

Good luck with the Holidays everyone.

Have a drink on me!

Scooterman · 12-10-2003, 02:26 PM

THink I could do that on a BowFlex?

Craig Manoukian · 12-10-2003, 02:28 PM

Good job Blythe!

Scott,

Not familiar with the intracasies of a BowFlex, Can you get them to work like an overhead cable machine? If so, I don't think why not.

Scooterman · 12-10-2003, 02:32 PM

I will have to study it when I get home. When I was hurt 15 years ago, (Pinched Disc), I maintained a regimen of crunches, but last July, I had a kidney stone, which put a stop to it all, my side was sore for months, I'm just getting back to the running as before. Slow but sure, I'm working on it, just at 36 it takes a little longer to get caught up.

Craig Manoukian · 12-10-2003, 03:05 PM

Wait 'til you hit 46!
