I can't be the only guy looking to lose weight, can I?  

I am looking ot lose weight as well. I am hoping to lose 40 lbs through diet and excercise. I am starting with a personal trainer tomorrow and will share any insight they offer. What is your strategy?

 

I'll tell you what my plan is Richard...since 3,500 calories equals approx. 1 pound, then I'm to burn more calories than I consume in a weeks period. I figure I will lose a approximately 1.5 pounds per week with the program I'm on. SO FAR SO GOOD!!! I started on August 15th 3 1/2 weeks ago) and to date I've lost 7 pounds thanks to Rob and My Home Personal Trainer!!!!!!!  

 

You are doing great and it appears you are doing it the right way. Slow and steady. I am using HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) coupled with weight training and better diet. Since I am hitting the weights I have upped my protein intake as well.

 

I have just recently started working out and although I don't see much as far as results on the scale, I figure that something positive has to be happening as I am really working hard. I think that diet will be the key. What are you doing to increase your protein intake? Any inexpensive or simple ways you have done that?

 

It lives! More tomorrow . . .  

 

Well, it's nice to have someone else on here. I had wondered where everyone was. I've been doing the MHPT for several months now. I hate to be discouraging, but I haven't seen much change. I do have to commend Rob (the trainer) though, for always being willing to tweak things to try to make progress. The diet seems to be the key thing - or at least it seems to be, because JUST doing the workouts doesn't seem to cut it.  

 

Is anybody still posting on here? I have been trying to get responses for a while on different forums and haven't heard anything!

 

Hello..yes I am here!!!! I started my weight loss almost two yrs ago. I have managed to lose and gain but still 53 lbs under where I started. I have read many book and information about diets. Diet is not the word to use. If you plan on losing weight and keeping it off you have to make it a life style. Thjere are many ways to make these lifestyle changes. I will post here often and let you in on the way I am doing it. Take care and hope to hear back from you fellows.

 

Huh..still no new replies. Does anyone read these things?

 

I am not trying to lose weight, but maintain and build muscle (and emotional well-being) through the proper nutritional changes. Nobody out here now, but there may be more later so here goes...
