EscapePlan9
Age: 24
Height: 6'0''
Weight now: 180 lbs
Goal: less fat, more muscle. I still look thinnish, but have a little gut now.
Start date: January 3rd (today!)
End date: Feb 12th (arbitrary, but it's my birthday, why not?)
Also, I was watching Scooby's Youtube Channel and he mentioned indoor cardio exercises for the cold. One that I'd recommend, especially for we gamers, is DDR Universe. It even keeps track of how many calories you've burnt and places it on a graph. That, or just dancing in general helps with cardio, although you'll probably feel like a fairy after doing it for an hour unlike DDR.

Among other sports I wrestled for four years and have gone through countless fitness and diet regimes. If you wanna get skinny or stay skinny:
-50 push-ups, 60 sit-ups EVERY day. Proper form, not fropper porn. Even if you can only hit 10 and 10, do it.
-Eat at least 3 meals a day, especially breakfast. Even if you don't feel like eating anything force down some eggs and drink that OJ. Your metabolism won't increase if you don't break your fast
-Don't inhibit all your cravings unless you can replace them with more than ample amounts of food. Granted, if you've measured out and calculated a perfect diet, stick to that. But for those of us who don't know how and don't wanna go through the trouble--eat that chocolate bar 1 time out of 3. Then eat some fruit.
-Midnight cravings are horrible for you if you indulge, the food just goes straight to fat. My friend and I eat ungodly things at ungodly hours, but with the 60/50 and our adhd movement all the time we manage to stay good-looking. If you do indulge, do it with a turkey sandwich. Pizza rolls are bad for you.
-This is probably the biggest thing I've learned and it kind of goes to that candy one I said earlier, IF YOU'RE HUNGRY DON'T NOT EAT. I hope you had to read that twice. When you stop eating your metabolism slows down. Not eating will take away energy and other goodies your brain needs to play sc properly. If you're thinking that that gnawing feeling in your stomach is making you more attractive/helping you lose weight, trust me--it's not. I did this crap my first two years of wrestling and it doesn't work. I actually started gaining fat when I ate less
-When you eat a meal, eat until you're 80% full and stop. Throw in tons of snacks in between (buy a hella big bag of pretzels or get started on those big christmas popcorn tins.)
-Eat random fruit. I recommend cuties (little oranges), but that's because I'm a sucker for them. easy to peel, easy to eat, easy to...the last step in the equation. They make you talk better (well they make your throat better at least) and prevent colds too
-Get in the habit of drinking water. Just have random water bottles all over your house, especially by your computer. Or keep them in the fridge, if you like cold water. also you'll be ok if those aliens from signs attack (what a dumbass ending)
-Eat carrots. They're really frickin' good for you.
-Eat peanuts, too. Peanut m&m's at the very least.
-Eat with in at least an hour (or 30 mins, something like that) after you work out. Eat fast-digesting proteins and carbs.
-Drink water while working out.
-Stretch after working out--your muscles build 15% faster or some crap. My friend told me this and I don't do it, but he's kind of a beast and a really honest guy so I'll take his word for it. I made up the 15% part.
-Learn how to sautee onions, then you'll like onions. Then eat onions in stuff.
-If you're not doing it with a professional, don't count calories. That's bullcrap. Avoid foods with high concentrations of unnatural fat. free-range animal fat is actually good for you.
-if you've got weak bones eat celery
-if you've got a bad memory eat blueberries
-If you see "partially hydrogenated" in any part of an ingredients list, that food is hella bad for you (cosmic brownies T.T)
-if you don't laugh very much find something funny to watch or read, like firebathero's celebration (LMAO)
-consistency is basically how you lose weight. do something small, but do it consistently (remember--its x365) Running 7 minutes a day will make you pretty skinny.
-Don't eat mcdonalds every day. I never spend money on fast food, but pretty much all my friends do all the time. what works with them is that if they go without it for two days, they get to eat it a third.
-before you go to bed, eat a peice of fruit or some yogurt. it actually boosts your metabolism while you sleep.
This is just me. When you lose a game of starcraft, do 5 push-ups. Or 5 pull-ups if a pull-up bar is close. Hopefully in that time you can calm down enough to realize what you did wrong and what to do better next game.
I don't know what the hell this post was, but there were quite a few gems in it.

Indeed.. some BS though.
Fruit doesn't prevent colds or make you "talk better", but is very healthy for you and will make you feel good and energized.
Carrots, and pretty much any fresh veggies, are good for you. Make a salad with a medley of them and a lite dressing.
Free-range animal fat contains roughly the same amount of fat as non-free-range. Especially since the definition of "free range" is extremely vague and easy to comply with. If you let the animals "free" for an hour a day, it can be considered free range.
If you have weak bones, you need more calcium, iron, and protein most likely. Celery mostly provides fiber. Try having a varied diet of nutritious food and you'll get a good intake of the nutrients you need. Also, a multi-vitamin is helpful.
Eating certain foods (he mentioned blueberries) do not affect your memory. Some may make you more energized and able to think quicker, but they do not make your memory better.
Before you go to bed, your body's metabolism is already slowing down, so try not to eat near bedtime. It doesn't matter if it's healthy food or not - although if you are REALLY hungry, something light is better than junk of course.

I've been strict with working out before, but the last 6 months I've been doing nothing but smoking weed and drinking alcohol. I feel so out of shape it's unbelievable. My new years resolutions focus on improving myself and becoming healthy once again. I hope to bulk to 200+ lbs by the end of April and then begin cardio routines once summer starts to reverse the effects marijuana has had on me.

I already joined a gym and have been working out there about 4-5x per week. I gotta start eating more, i have such a small appetite its hard for me to eat a lot. My goal is to be 185lbs because i'm sick of being a skinny nerd ;p
Also want a 6 pack, does anybody know the most optimal exercises for this?

Hrm Interesting I will participate. I want to put on about 10-15 lbs of muscle (which has proven in the past two years to be difficult). However over the summer of this year I put on about 5 lbs which was big for me since my weight hasn't changed in about 4 years. I've lost about 3-4 lbs in the past 4 months which sucks since I couldn't go to the gym with a new job and a busy semester and I have been trying to eat more. Not really working in my favor...
So here we go:

Just curious, does anyone have a reason other than "I weigh too much/I weigh too little?" I want to get up to 147 lbs so I can fight as a welterweight in Muay Thai.
I basically feel out of shape and quite overweight and weak and I would feel better looking better so it's basically just for the inner me

2 things i will do 100% lose the weight i gained over the past few months: don't drink juice all the time, drink water instead. stop eating late night snacks (this can be solved by going to bed an hour or two earlier, since usually i feel hungry around 1-2)

Very nice thread i think i may join later.
I really liked that second youtube channel, though, there is one question bothering me and I guess everyone similar to me - majority of such sources are about losing weight and making your fatty body musculous. But what if I'm a skinny guy with fast metabolism who can eat how much he wants but not gaining up a lb ever? Then I think I shouldn't follow such guides and exercises which are aimed to weight loss, because for me they would be less effective even if i eventually grow up some muscle and gain a bit. They should work on different principles I guess - if you are fat, you change it into your muscles, but if you are thin, you have nothing to change into muscles..
So if anyone could link us here a source specialized to this problem, I'd really appreciate it!
(hope i'm not much off topic)

If your skinny and you have a fast metabolism you might think you can eat how much you want. But try eating how much you want and then double it. Im sure you will start gaining some lbs. I have the same problem. But of course this doesnt mean just junk food eat healthy/protein foods, milk etc.

Yeah I had that mentality, but I'm slowly getting rid of it. Fast food and candy is pretty much out but I'm having a hard time with soda and chips.

ondik, pengu1n, DrainX, skinny-ppl-trying-to-get-buff powa! =)
What do you guys think about sleeping less?
I've got this problem of sleeping too much - having too much free time in the morning, getting up regularly at 11AM feeling not hungry.
(I go to sleep at around 1AM, last meal usually around 22-23PM).
I think it would definitely help to set some goals in the morning, get up earlier, eat a breakfast as soon as I'm able to and then eat regularly the whole day.
Thoughts?
