Hello Mates,
230 and 6'3
drinking water only excercising 1hr at least a day! No sugar, caffeine or alcohol! No crap food with preservatives!
Can't break this weight! suggestions? Should I just wear my winter parka all summer and sweat it out! Looking for constructive pointers!

To put it as simply as possible, in order to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you consume.

Fat loss is 80% diet.

Get a digital food scale, count your calories. If you aren't losing weight on an average of about 1.5 lbs/week eat less.

Thanks J Temple!

Just so you know where I'm coming from, back in 2005, I made the decision to get in shape. Over about 18 months, I dropped from 275 to 156 lbs. I'm 5' 10".

I've been at it ever since. I'm now around 180 lbs and 12-15% body fat.

How? Counting calories, tracking my protein/fat/carb intake, and lifting heavy stuff.

Make it easy on yourself. Just cut off 1 arm and leg. Bam weight lost for good!!!!

J Temple, I was 285 lbs last August and not 230 with lots of work. Mad love bro, I can relate!

ZX I wish it was that easy!

Bro im a personal trainer and as far as your weight to height ratio you are good. you prob just need to turn it from whatever fat into muscle. To do this is 99% nutrition and what people dont realize is the more good food that u prep and cook yourself along with exercise the quicker you will lose ur fat and obviously just feel bttr overall. Also the quickest way to lose fat is build muscle but then musce weights more than fat so you may not notice a great deal of weight lose. Jtemple situation sounds like a lot of sacrifice on his part.thats alot of weight and honestly not alot of time he lost it in.he saw his goal and went for it. You get what you put into it and if your dead set on losing the weight and having problems. Maybe you might look into a nutritionist to help you out. good luck man

Son off,
Thanks brother,
Your response was very detailed. On your good advice I'll check out a nutritionist!

Wolfman, you've been a member since the end of March and currently have 981 posts...dude shut off your computer and go for a walk. LOL. On a serious note, congrats on the weight loss so far and good luck.

Wfox I thought the same thing. He is definitely a post count whore.

Boyz had major knee surgery 6 weeks ago, this forum has saved my life! Can't tell you how much escape I got from boredom! Mt posts have seriously slowed down as of late!
