Argonath diet challenge

[PSVITA]

I am finding this really hard - contemplating giving up...

I would say it's because you are not enjoying it. You should go at a slower pace and not push yourself. It should be a lifestyle because once you achieve your goal you should maintain that weight. Add in a cheat day once a week. Reduce your cardio to 30 minutes. Increase your calories a bit. Go at a rate of losing 3kg a month else you just going to hate losing weight.

Frank, get a better breakfast first. Secondly, eat 6 times instead of 3, you can eat a bit more to.. For sport, build up..

I already posted the diet on one of the previous topics, but it won't  harm to send it again, it worked for me so ..
I'm currently on 95 kg and around 190cm high, plan is to lose 5 kg more, probably gonna go with kick box, because that's that kind of sport that melts your fat like butter and turn you into a animal in mater of months.

First Meal (before work):
• 150 g chicken or tuna cans
• Oats 60gr 350kcal


Second Meal (work):
• Protein with water
• Oats 60gr 350kcal


3rd Meal (lunch break):
• 150 g chicken or tuna cans
• Oats 60gr 350kcal

4th Meal (work):
• Protein
• Oats 60gr 350kcal

5th Meal (the gym):
• 150 g chicken or tuna cans
• Oats 60gr 350kcal

Post-Workout:
• Protein shake + fruit 300kcal


6th Meal (home 2 hours before bedtime):
• Tuna 150g
• Veggies fist size 200kcal

Total: 2250kcal
Follow this and take a picture, you'll see the results soon!
Fizzy drinks, including soda, gum, milk, beer without alcohol, including alc forget for the next two months.
Wednesday and Friday, rest, practice the other days plus 30 minutes of cardio.

(of course you need to combine this with some jim time, if anyone is interested I can send you the program via PM, or even here.)

Though most in here want to loose weight, I'm currently on the exact opposite challenge! Nearly 1,5 year ago, I used to weight around 75KG (Keep in mind I'm somewhat near to 1,65+cm), being fat, had a tiny belly but still.. was always a sports guy taking care of my body, and that was the moment I went crazy!... I can't say I did a correct diet, I had just stopped eating the usual junk food I used to.. So, from 75KG I fall down to 55KG suddenly because I couldn't control my stomach.. One Ice-cream was enough to fill it for one single day back then you see. Being 55kg wasn't what I intended and nor what I liked, seeing my self over-skinny was something that made me regret for what I did to my self!... For the last few months, I'm trying to gain back my weight, through eating and working out (This time I wish to gain the weight on muscle mass, instead of just fat that I had on past!).. Currently I weight 67kg, and my aim is once again 75kg just like back then.. only that this time, I'm gaining it harder through muscles and massive work out.. One more aim: Cut smoking..

Me, being 75kg
Me, around 2 weeks ago!
Something I am proud of!

The thing is, you're a body builder. The people in this topic are trying to lose weight.

If someone wishes to have a fab body, they have to lose some weight first and burn the fat, then they can focus on getting big. Take MMA fighters and WWE wrestlers for example, they all weigh over 100kgs, even the smallest ones and they still look so fit. Its not about what you eat, its about how you eat.

I'd rather not reply fully because then we'd go off-topic, I just said my story nothing else .. I still have a few friends who I try to motivate in loosing weight, but so far no success sadly ;|

On a serious note, losing weight is not putting in more fuel than you use.
I'll check yo progress and we'll see which one of us wins brawh.

*munches down on leftover fries*
I guess the odds are in your favour after tonight.

Saw a girl I know for a while now, she was around say 90 kg, which is extremely ugly for a girl in her best years (any years to be precise), with an average height and brother she lost 30kg   in mater of months (and she's not that tipe of girl that varies with weights, she was fat from the beginning of time), last time I saw her was around new year so what else can I tell you, I literally didn't recognized her, it took me around 5 minutes to understand who she really is, so keep up with the diet that's all you need, she told me that she didn't take any pills, and don't let anything stand on your way.
Cheers

I lost 1kg    since last time, I'm down on 94,only activity's I got atm are football and rugby, got lose of all the bread I eat and that's it, and didn't get drunk this Friday so that's another plus for me    _{hangover from Thursday is still killing me.}

Right.. I'm at 69 kilos at the moment.. What did I change ? I went to my bus for school on the bike (1-2 km) instead of walking, went with the bike more often to the Golf and I walked longer with my dog. I putted aside the daily Red Bull and some other stuff.

You lose more calories by walking/running then you lose riding a bike.
By some calculations relation is 1 : 4 , meaning crossing 1km on foot is like doing 4 with a bike.
In summer  of 2011 I was doing 25km almost everyday, you  could see the progress, but it wasn't anything admirable.
