walk bike and trx! then :beer:!
Depending on your body, it generally takes 10-15 minutes to get into calorie burning mode.
That being said, the first 2-3 miles (pre lift) probably netted your minimal results and the 2-3 miles (post lift) on the bike wasn't long enough to make a dent either.
Warm up for 5 minutes on cardio, go lift for 20-30 minutes, and then spend another steady 30 minutes on cardio. Make sure to be pushing yourself.
I'll have to look into that, because you would think with everything I was doing I could atleast loose a few in a couple months.
my mother has the same issues you are saying, she ended up having this issue
Sorry buddy, but I don't believe you didn't lose any weight at all. I have always been on the overweight side. When I decided to lose some weight. I rode the exercise bike an hour a day, did some sit ups. And really watched what I ate. The weight fell off of me faster than a hooker chasing her next trick. I was 265lbs at 6'2". Went down to 215lbs and looked like a pool cue. Back up to 270 again(fail) but my heart,cholestorol,blood pressure, and blood sugars are all perfect. Still exercise almost everyday. But stopped eating like a runway model.
Count your calories and cardio cardio cardio. As of April 1st I was up to 255, decided enough is enough and went to work. Sugar is number one, it HAS to go. Cut down on bread, salad is your friend but use low fat, I prefer 0 fat Italian. I do an hour of cardio every night, usually break it up half hour elyptical and half hour treadmill. I'm down to 217 and i havnt felt this good since high school. It takes dedication man, any one can do it up its not easy. When your boys call you to go for wings and beer, say no. You'll get there but if your not ready to dedicate your life don't waste your time.
Swear to God I never saw more than a flucuating 1-2lbs but that could be in the scale, and this was after 2 months of hard work... I felt better, and more energetic but that's it.
You should be able to lose weight watching TV as long as you cut back on eating.
^THIS^ ^THIS^ AND ^THIS^
I cut out sugar cold turkey one day and just by doing that has made me 14 lbs lighter in 3 weeks. Unsweet tea, no candy and no beer. I still eat regular foods that I have for years. Seeing the results in just that has motivated me to go walking 2 nights a week for about a mile. I am now at 175 from 199 at the begining of the month.
It was hard for the first week or so, but once you get the taste for black coffee, unsweet tea and water you will hate the taste of anything with sugar in it. Now I hate coffee creamers and had a small sweet tea today and threw it away.
Snacks are almonds, yogurt and fruit. You will tell when your stomach is shrinking b.c. you wont eat as much.
hope this helps.
lmao!
Stop smoking ! If you cant breathe, nothing else matters. Then move your body and eat like you plan on being here for a while.
Like said before, diet is 80% of it. You can exercise all ****ing day but if you don't eat right its pointless. Cut your portions. A trick that I've found that works is only buy foods that take 20+ minutes to cook. That way you cant just snack all the time, you have to actually cook something and if your a fat lazy **** like I was... you won't want to get up and cook. LOL. Just a personal experience but it worked for me. NO crackers, NO potato chips,. Keep carrots, apples bananas and any other fresh fruit you like on hand if you NEED to snack... eat that.AVOID fast food. Nothing but empty fat calories there. Even the "nice pretty healthy" grilled chicken salad with dressing at mcdonalds has as many calories as a ****in big mac...
GOOD LUCK!!
GOOD LUCK!!

Well if you were putting on a decent amount of muscle you were offsetting the weight you would be losing had younot been lifting. If you just did straight cardio and no weights im sure youd lose weight. Ive been lifting and doing cardio for a 3 months and gained over an inch of muscle in my arms but have lost zero weight nor gained zero weight.
If you eat fast food, your'e gonna have a bad time.
Vegetables are your friend. Start eating them.
Like all others have said, no soda, beer, smokes, etc. Start working out. Start slow and increase when you feel up to it. After you get on the train for a few weeks it will become easier. Get to it!

No body has said "drink water like a mother" yet.
Work your way up to a gallon+ a day. Srsly
The water will kick start your metabolism and also help you get the nutrition from all those veggies you are eating in and all the waste out. This will also make your body carry less water weight as well. If you are thirsty you are dehydrated. Get at it man! Good luck

Try some actual weight lifting. No machines, and little girly weights. Man up and put what muscle you do have behind it. If you don't leave with a certain muscle group almost in pain, then you didn't try hard. Sounds like the problem is you have no motivation.
This is true motivation:
