Project lose an Olsen Twin

[TheBetterMethod]

Haha, I've got all you guys beat. I'm 5'7" about 118lbs. I've got a lot of muscle definition and decent upper body strength.

I've never weighed more than 125. And I was benching over 180 at one point. But since I started slackin' I'm benching 165+ now.

I have a body fat content below 7%. People are surprised at the stuff I can do because I'm so slim.

haha I'm not even heavy enough to be a WEC bantamweight fighter, but I'm the perfect size to fit in pretty much any car's trunk.

OP, Good luck with your fat loss program!

So uh update, haha kinda forgot about this, but I'm hovering around 180 now.

Sorry for the late response, I havent been keeping a close eye on the off topic.

First off, you CAN lose the weight if you are fully committed. If you aren't, stop reading and press the back button. Theres a couple sentences in your response saying you are TRYING to do something. If I tell you something important, dont just try to do it...just do it Seriously, I hear things from EVERY person I talk to that is in the same kind of situation and I dont want to waste our time telling you things if you arent fully committed, because it will not work if done half assed. If you made it this far I assume (although u know what that means) that you are committed. Get your notepad out.

Go to this site http://www.shapefit.com/dailycalorie-calc.html

fill out the form, takes less than 10 seconds, that will tell you how many calories you need everyday. Dont eat over this number, not matter how tempting. Over eating will lower your self esteem and take you two steps back in a one step forward program.

Second, lift at least twice a week, unless you would like to lose muscle along with weight, but i dont know many people who want to do that. Youd wont wanna look like a twig, and its always nice to know you can at least lift or perform what the average person can. Do your cardio 3x a week. If you cant run, then dont do my HIIT suggestion quite yet until you can run a couple miles without dying. If you can do HIIT training, dont do it more than twice a week.

Drink AT LEAST 12 cups (1 cup = 8oz) of water every day. Thats 3/4 of a gallon. Buy a gallon of water for a dollar at wal mart and re use that (wash it out of course) and finish it. Not only will this replace alot of things you lose while working out, it helps you not feel so hungry.

Buy a multivitamin for 30 bucks. Again, this replaces things you lose while working out. It will speed up your weight loss process as well.

Quit the cafeteria food. You gained weight by eating more than you exercise. FACT. Not poking fun, just telling it like it is. To reverse the way you look, you gotta eat right and exercise more than you eat.

chicken, oatmeal, salad with vinegary types of dressing, cottage cheese, brown rice, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, green beans, cucumbers, turkey, tuna....shit like that...keep it in your fridge and take it with you to school. Actually, cucumbers and onions in vinegar are awesome.

If you cant keep away from fast food or cafeteria food or unhealthy snacks your fat loss will hault. again, one step forward and two steps back.

WORK YOUR FUCKING ASS OFF IN THE GYM. I sweat so hard in the gym just from lifting that I even get stares from people (not in a good way, probably in a gross way) but i dont give a shit. They can waste their time and see mediocre results.

If you honestly, and i mean honestly, follow all the tips above then you will be shedding weight. But dont get so caught up in weight. You wanna lose fat more than weight. Go in the gym and get your bodyfat tested, dont even think about being embarassed about the number. They are there to help you and will admire you more for doing something about it. Now every month go and get that number tested again and you will see your proof there.

Any questions hit me up either in this thread or in a PM. Ill be gladd to help out. Like Nike, just do it bro.

[Steve626]

Great advice finkster can't get any better than those tips.

P.s I sweat like a fuckin pig when im lifting too by the time I leave the gym it looks like I went swimming with my shirt on.. go hard or go home.

Well, I guess I am a bit older than you guys, so my nutritional needs are a bit different. I was 6'1" in high school and weighed about 165 tops, could play ball like crazy and didn't realize that I was a toothpick. After college and the military I was 210 and pretty good to go... Now it takes lots and lots of cardio - I do a nice 10k twice a week and then a even cooler 12 mile mountain bike ride twice a week. I'm still right around 210-215, take a nice cycle of thermogenics, but lots and lots of fish oil, and tri-flex or other quality joint formulas. It is imperitive that you keep your joints healthy! ESPECIALLY IF YOU EXERCISE!

That's all I got, Good multivitamin, good diet, the correct suppliments to keep your body structure healthy, and keep active.

So haven't updated in a while, I'm not losing as fast I was, around 175-ish, and I just upped my bench max last week too!
