[QUOTE="UnloaderAM, post: 486598, member: 15672"] My 10 tips to losing weight: 1) Stop smoking (u already know this though) 2) Don't weigh yourself daily since your weight will fluctuate. Its usually lowest in the morning. Weigh yourself about 1-2 hours after lunch in the afternoon maybe once a week. 3) Eat breakfast everyday. It gets your metabolism going. 4) Don't be concerned with weight so much. It'll come off but if your doing strength training (as has already been mentioned) then it won't seem like your losing weight. Instead check inches around your waist. If your losing inches but not losing weight your probably putting on muscle. 5) Don't eat within 2-3 hours of bedtime. When you do your body stores the extra calories (ie: fat) 6) Workout more (if possible). Longer times, more weight, varied exercises. 7) If you want to lose the gut don't worry about exercising it. That's a myth. You won't lose your gut by doing sit ups. In men fat is stored primarily around the middle so if you want to lose the gut the only thing you have to do is lose the weight. It'll take the longest time but will work if your persistent. If you like do the sit ups anyway they still burn calories. 8) VERY IMPORTANT: Get enough sleep!!! This is vital. It allows your body to rebuild muscle and recover from workouts faster. You also burn more calories while you sleep than while you watch tv. 9) Hold yourself accountable. What I mean is don't set unrealistic goals for yourself but don't let yourself slip up either. Find someone to hold you accountable to exercising daily, 5 times a week, 3 times a week, whatever works for you. 10) Do cardio everyday. Weight training should be done on alternate days but cardio can be done everyday. Abs can also be trained everyday (yes with weights). Also, training in the morning will help boost your metabolism throughout the day. If possible workout in the morning about 1-2 hours after you have breakfast. Workout vigorously and get your heart rate up. This will kick start your metabolism into high gear at the very start of the day. Good luck. Maybe to hold yourself accountable you should post a blog (sort of) here in the forum and keep us updated as to your goals. Another thing you might find interesting is taking a pic of yourself everyday w/o a shirt. Do it in the mirror and after awhile (maybe couple of months) you can look back at the pics and you will be able to see how you changed and lost the weight.

I couldn't find that video but I found another one that illustrates what I am talking about. Here: [MEDIA=youtube]JPuPS8WzpPw[/MEDIA] Weight Loss - 70 lbs in 6 months before and after This guy lost 70 pounds in 6 months. If you take those pics like I said then maybe you could post a vid like that. You don't have to take them everyday but maybe once a week when you weigh yourself. It would be a good sense of accomplishment once you get to the end of your goal. [/QUOTE]
