10 pounds
Dtopford:
Hey all I have been pushing hard lately to get to a goal weight of 180. Right now I am bouncing between 190-195 depending on what time of the day it is LOL.
A little back ground when I left my shore duty and my transfer leave I ate well..... to well as a matter of fact. I had let myself get up to 220, now at only 5'6" tall you can imagine what that was like.
you can see a little of what I do as far as PT goes in my commands PT routine I posted earlier. for whatever reason I have been stuck at this weight level for the last few weeks. I run harder and push harder still watch still watch my diet but I am still stuck.
If any of you have any insight as to how to shed these last 10 pounds I am open to suggestions.
I talked to my HMC (Doctor onboard ship) and she said more cardio so instead of the pool this morning I hit the bicycle.
Thanks in advance for any inputs.
PS: once I get to 180 I am hitting the weights hard I am naturaly a big guy all the men in my family are shaped like bricks LOL and I am curious what a strong weight routine will do for someone who is big by genetics.

Dude, been on the last 10 pounds for YEARS now....thankgoodness I'm way happier and have shed the extra fat (minus the last 10 pounds of it...
I'll be lookin' for responses to this one too...
Glad to also see another cool , sly bald shorter dude here too....I clock in at 5'5'....
I guess, it's just easier for people to appreciate our slyness....you know it's easier for them to catch the glear off the top of our sly bald heads!
BTW, congrats on the body changing! It's not an easy thing to do!

I know a lot of people (including some SBG's) have had success following the rules of the Abs Diet. Here's a link to some of the basics (including some recipes) from Men's Health
http://www.menshealth.com/cda/topicpage.do?site=MensHealth&channel=weight.loss&category=abs.diet
I have begun to follow some of the principles (key being more meals, but smaller, healthier portions) and have shed a few pounds. I want to ultimately get back to 185 (6' tall) and am currently about 203. It's a good read. One of the things that's always worked for me is not eating too late. I know that's hard with most people's work schedules, but if you can do that, I think it helps.
Good Luck,
Schro

One thing I can suggest is to mix up your routine. If you run a lot, then try the bicycle, eliptical, or swimming, etc. Or if you really enjoy the exercise that you're doing, change courses by adding more hills and varying the speeds.
One thing to know is that cardio breaks down your muscles if you stay at a steady pace. By changing your routine every two minutes, it forces the muscles to adapt and actually helps grow your muscles. The last thing you want to do is break down the muscles because they are the part of your body that consumes (burns) the most calories. Every pound of muscle that you add will burn 50 more calories a day at rest.
This is detailed more in the Abs Diet that Schro mentioned.
