I am starting my new quest to loose 20lbs in 30 days - Greeting group

Hello Guys and Gals,

I am new to this board. I have been lurking for a while and this is my
first post. You all have some great info, advice &, motivation...
Kudos.

I use to be a pretty serious body builder about 15 years ago. That is
no longer the case and I have about 20 to 30 lbs to loose. So now that
I am 39 and slowly gaining weight. I figured It is time to get back
into shape... I have worked out on and off for the last 10 years, so I
am not totally out of shape. Just need to change my diet and start
excecising.

I plan on kick starting my transformation with my 30 day plan of
loosing 20lbs in 30 days. Get the fat off, then I will concentrate on
bulking up with muscle.

So is it Ok if I post every day or two with my progress for the next 30 days?

BTW, I am a consultant so my schedule is not set and am Also an amateur
photographer. So I plan on documenting everything with photos on my
new blog. This is what really gives me 1000% MOTIVATION!! So if
anyone is interested to follow along and see what I do, don't do, what
woks for me and what does work, you can see the address in my sig. I
even got my before pictures up now of my chubby waste.

Kindest Regards

Wade

I forgot to mention.

I am sure most people in here know that rapid weight loss is not
healty. You can loose muscle, water etc... and that is not what we
want. The only reason I feel I am able to do this is because of
knowing how my body reacts to what I put it through. I do not plan on
loosing any muscle, only fat.

Again I am sure most people here know this but for the very few that
don't, If anyone considers a rapid weight loss plan you really should
consult a doctor first.

Kindest Regards,


Wade

I am new to the weight loss program, so I don't know if 20 lbs in 30 days is
healthy or not, but I've done it and am feeling fine. On Oct 23rd I visited
the doctor and weighed in at 260 lbs. dressed. (a shocker to me). I
immediately started a diet/exercise program.

A month later, on Nov 22, I visited the doc again for a follow-up and
weighed in at 249 lbs ... an 11 pound drop. I modified my eating habits,
doing only "healthy" stuff ... but did not focus on carbs, proteins, etc
..... just calories. I stopped all the junk food... doughnuts, cake, white
bread, etc. and increased the vegetables and fruits. I try to eat very well
balanced meals.

I then created a spreadsheet in Excel and started recording and tracking the
calorie requirements for my age, weight and activity schedules. I also
track daily calorie intake, calories burned from exercise and record the
daily calorie deficit.

As I said, on November 22 I was at 249 lbs. Right now, on Dec 24th, I am
at 226 lbs dressed.
That's 23 lbs in a month. The recorded data for the last month is as
follows:

Average daily calorie intake: 1412.5
Average daily calorie deficit: 2435.0

Total days: 31

So, 2435 (deficit) times 31 equals 75485 divided by 3500 (calories per
pound) equals: 21.56 lbs.
Recorded loss is 23 lbs. The error of 1.44 lbs is due to small cumulative
errors in estimating calorie intake/deficit, I am sure.

BTW ... my exercise routine contributed about 13,500 calories (burned) to
the total monthly deficit of 75,485 calories. So, exercise is important,
but it is not the main driver.

It's really interesting to me to see how the basic math backs up the
recorded results.

Good luck.

Good for you!

The concerns with rapid weight loss, as I understand it, are that it
can aggrivate existing health problems. Also, rapid weight loss is
often associated with quack diets or other schemes that could lead to
malnutrition. But aside from that, it appears safe. I still don't
recommend it as a goal, however.

Exercise helps increase your metabolism overall, so you burn more
calories all the time, not just when working out.

What is your exercise routine, incidentally?

Hi Wade,

Your approach is interesting, but I note that you haven't included any
veggies or fruit in your diet. Also, 147 pounds sounds very light for a
man - how tall are you?

And please don't think me a troll for saying this, but your post and
blog read better after a spell check. You want to LOSE 20 pounds, not
LOOSE it, unless you want the 20 pounds to start running around loose.
And it's your WAIST, not WASTE, you want to lose.

Best wishes, and I look forward to reading your blog.

I certainly agree with you, although I understand that the increase is built
over a longer term, based on regular workouts. I don't think it adds
significantly to weight loss at the beginning of a new exercise and calorie
restriction diet, but certainly helps continue and maintain the loss over
the long haul. I believe both must be done, and then the exercise should
continue lifelong.


> What is your exercise routine, incidentally?
>

Started slow, but am building it up over time as my stamina improves.
Right now, two months into my self-designed "program" my typical exercise
routine is:

2.5 - 3.5 miles on the treadmill at 3.8 mph and at a 3.2 degree incline.
Usually takes 42 to 54 mins.
Then (this is new) 10 minutes or so on an elliptical machine. I'll be
increasing this as I become more used to the machine motion. I discovered
it's better to do this machine first, then the treadmill.

It cracks me up when I recall the first day at 260 lbs. After 10 minutes on
the treadmill at 3.5 mph and no incline .... I was exhausted and pouring
sweat. Now, I don't even break a sweat until about a mile and a half into
it and often kick the incline up to 6 or 7 degrees for a quartermile just to
get a good sweat going.

Then, 50-60 situps on an inclined bench.
Then, 20 or so "crunches" on one of those ABS chairs they advertise on TV.
My wife bought it a year or so ago, but I never tried it. It definately
hits muscles that you don't use doing sit ups.

Next ... a workout with weights. At first I did very light weight and lots
of reps, but three weeks ago I shifted to a heavier, lower rep weight
lifting routine. Bench presses with 100 lbs 'till it burns" .... then bicep
curls, tricep pulls, and a couple of other upper body workouts.
I repeat this for three sets. I also do leg lifts and leg curls. I
alternate the upper body and leg workouts on a daily basis.

I do all this at 5 am and finish up at about 6:30 or so. I found if I don't
"get-'er-done" first thing in the morning, I find it more difficult to get
to it later. I am actually beginning to enjoy it in a weird way. :-)

I read with interest about your new Trek and even found a local dealer. I
think I'll wait until spring, though.

And congrats on your progress!

Best regards,

RCE

Agreed, but you've been putting in two months. That has to have had
some effect.

Also, there's water weight to consider. You are not only eating fewer
calories, but also probably taking in far less salt than you did. That
has to help.

A year ago - January 3, 2006 - I was only able to work 7 minutes on the
recumbent stationary bike.

I enjoy exercising too. Never thought I'd see the day. But I never
thought I'd see 41 either, and that's but two weeks away.

Your routine is a lot longer than mine. No wonder it's coming off so
quickly!

> I read with interest about your new Trek and even found a local dealer.

If you are in SE PA, by all means patronize Bikesport:

http://www.bikesportbikes.com/frontpage.cfm

They have been wonderful to me, from Kathy spending two hours with me
picking out the bike to Peter's walking me through balancing in the
parking lot. The poor fellow gave up part of the store Christmas party
to do so.

Right, I totally agree. This is not for everyone and is in no way a
long term solution. Yeah for sure if there are any underlying
medical conditions this type of program is a BIG no no. Some time this
month I think I will put up on my site the top 10 ways of how rapid
weight loss could be dangerious. You could damage your heart, could
damage other vital organs, loose muscle, etc...

For me though I am very in tune with my body and have high endurance.
Even though I have packed on the pounds these last couple of years it
should not take me long to get back in the swing of things. This is
just my "Kick Start" routine to get back in shape. Once I loose the
20lbs of fat by the end of of the 30 days. Then I cut back the cardio
and up the weight training and calories... By then my metabolism
should be in high gear and the added muscle should continue to burn fat.

It's my engineering background.
I think everybody needs to create a "measuring stick" of some sort to
provide continuous motivation. Otherwise, let's face it, the process can get
boring and you risk losing resolve.
The measure could be records or pictures or whatever, but it adds a real
time feedback, rather than a future expectation. I actually enjoy keeping
the records and plotting the results.
Here's a pic of my overall weight loss chart so far:

http://www.eisboch.com/chartdec25.jpg

RCE

RCE, great job on the weights.* I feel the weights are the most
important aspect to increase your*metabolism overall.* Muscles burn
much more calories at rest when they are busy making new muscle
fibers*after a heavy workout.* In fact it is such an issue with those
who do heavy weight training, that night time when sleeping is very
critical.* When you lift weights, the burn you get is actually muscle
fibers tearing.* When you build muscle it is your body responding and
healing itself.* All this burns calories.* Most of the healing is done
when sleeping.* So the issue that*arises is that your muscles burn to
much calories and don't grow.* You need protein to help in this
process.* So before bed I usually like to try and have a nice big*bowl
of cottage cheese.* It is high in protein, keeps you full, and digests
slowly for the night.* So it really aids in*your muscle building.* More
muscle building uses more calories.* Most of the protein from the
cottage cheese is used in building more muscle so it is not stored as
fat.

Good job on increasing the weights.* I will be doing that as well this
week.* The most*efficient way to burn the most calories is to lift for
strength and growth. *

- Max out at 5 to seven reps = strength trainers
- Max out at 6 to 10 reps = Body Building - Greater muscle size
-** ** *Max out at 12+ reps = more*definition - cutting - Endurance trainers

So the greatest* calorie burning activity comes with the body building
routines where you burn more calories at rest with muscle building.*
Then alter on, the more muscle you have the more calories they burn.*
It is a win win situation.

If you have not have already you should check out the bodybuilding.com
forums. There is a treasure trove of information in there.* They have
sections on loosing fat, nutrition etc...

Good info. Thanks.

Neil,

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I hate to say this but I don't
normally eat fruit and veggies as I don't like the taste of them. I
know this is really bad and I need to somehow get to the point where I
can stomach them... To help compensate I drink alot of Myoplex Carb
Sense Nutrition shakes throughout the day. Plus I am very good with
taking my vitamins and suppliments. Which I will hopefully go through
in greater details as I get caught up on my posting. On my photo blog
I am currently only pu to day 3. I am actually on day 8 of my
routine. I lost about 3 to 4 lbs last week. This should start
incresing though.


My spelling lol. Yeah I know about all my typos. I get so busy
sometimes that I don't take the time to go back through what I wrote
and sometimes rely on spell check to much. I will have to work on
that. Duly noted.

Best


Wade
