I was fat.

Actually, no, I wasn't. But I was getting fat, fast!

I've never been fat. I was always really skinny my entire life. My Aunt once took me to the Doctors office because she felt I was too skinny. When I finally hit the 50 ...Read the rest on the MonksDiner Blog!

ok - here you go. this is almost exactly what I'm doing. i just cut out the protein requirement as you're not looking to bulk up.

drink 1 gallon of ice water a day. this will be about 7 bottles of water.

cut out breads chips etc. your carbs will come from green vegetables and you will get plenty of them. feel free to eat as many green vegetables as you like.

breakfast - small bowl of oatmeal or eggs and grits. no cereal no milk

exercise - try to hit the gym 4 days per week.
cardio - you need to be doing at least 45 minutes of solid cardi - if you are running - do at least 3 miles. if you are walking or riding a bike same thing - just longer. do this as many days as you can fit it in - this will not hurt you - will be good for you. 6 days would be great.

work out
do three sets of each exercise with increasing weight each time.

on one day do your arms - bis and tris and throw in one leg part. either hams or quads. on your bis - do at least 2 different curls - maybe machine and free standing dumbells or curl bar. same on the tris - standing cable pull down on tris and then laying down and brining the bar over your head (nose breakers)

next day - back -
cable rows - overhead pull downs - upper back flys on fly machine - just sit backwards - and hyperflexes for your lowerback

next day - chest and rest of legs
bench press with lighter weights to warm up - maybe a 45 oneach side. never go big on a free bench press - great way to get hurt.
chest fly machine cable crossovers etc. basically do 2 different sets on your chest .
then hit your legs with an exercise on each - whatever you have have not already done.

separating your legs on different days will keep you from getting burnt on legs. they are really stressing if you are hitting them decent.

shoulders - seated arnolds, overhead press machine, free standing reverse flys hitting the back of your upper shoulders. pick 2 of these and hit them. this can be an easy day when you are heavy on cardio.

just a follow up - exercise portion control. american's have this major tendency to over eat. you shouldn't eat to the point where you feel like you need to adjust your belt buckle.

If I had the money to hit up a gym I would. And as far as food, my father's a chef, so I'd have him make a good diet plan for me, personalized

If you are one that drinks alot of soda, if you cut out all soda and drink a galon of water a day, you will probably drop 10-15 pounds (depending on your current size) just by doing this. I drink about a case of diet coke a day. I once stopped and replaced it with water. I dropped 15 pounds in a month, easily.

Everything else is common sense. As mentioned, portions are the thing most people overlook. I recently started getting my meals prepared by a chef "Sounds fancy huh?" but, it is affodable (about $25.00 per meal, and that is a meal for 6 people). Each meal is portioned... so although they say 6 people, if you eat 3 portions as a meal for yourself, well then that 25.00 meal is only going to feed two people.

Thats the place I use. They have a new menu each month, you order your meals for the full month, they prep them, you pick them up, freeze them (Cause it's all prepared fresh, not processed), and there you have dinner every night of the week. Healthy, portioned, and about 350-500 calories per meal.

I'm sure there are other services of this nature around... you just need to do some homework...

I didn't cut back on drinking at all (I was drinking heavily 3 times a week) and I still lost a lot of weight just by eating better and working out.. cardio, lots of walking, etc..

Now I'm down to drinking only 1 or 2 days a week, so I'm expecting even greater results. It's amazing how little you really have to do to lose weight.. Just gotta stick with it.

Yeah, I am going to have to lose some weight. I am 6'2" 235.

I think a good weight for me would probably be about 200.

That's not bad if you're mostly muscle..
