I'd just like to say the previous weight initiative with the videos of that Scooby guy on YouTube got me from 320lbs to 205lbs. I'm now aiming for 180 and I'll be happy.
Been a while since I saw any Weight thread. Just been doing what I've been doing. If anyone needs tips or what foods to eat, PM me.

Sweet, I'm going to lurk here for some tips and inspiration. Maybe setting up goals ect after the cross country skiing season ends.

i went jogging today for the first time in months. started out slow then gradually increased speed. i only went for 1km but i'm pretty happy with that since i haven't done any running in ages and it was waaaaaay easier than i expected. btw what's the deal when your lower back starts to hurt while running?? does that have anything to do with poor form??
oh yeah and another thing. i had my bf tested today and they used this body composition analyzer thingy and man i couldn't believe the results...it had me at 29.9%. wtf like seriously. i know i have blubber around my waist and all but cmon...29.9%!?!
does anyone know if it's an accurate way of determining bf percentages?? if anyone has any info on how accurate it is then please don't hesitate to share. i just can't get over it lol.

Based on your stats.
height: 5'5 (166cm)
weight 67kg (147lbs)
I seriously doubt you're at 30% bf, unless you have no muscles, at all.
Was it a full body scan, or did they just get you to stand on a scale and hold two prongs?
Post a photo, we'll be able to give you a rough estimate of your bf%.

Welcome to the human species, we're constantly looking to increase our numbers.

Yeah, if you want an accurate BF measurement you gotta go DEXA (but usually costs a lot) or hydrostatic weighing... which can be a little off but is pretty close.
Calipers from a professional can be extremely accurate to within 1-2%. The electric body comp analyzers can be off anywhere from like 1-10% depending on how hydrated you are and some other factors.
Wouldn't worry about it too much.

if u only went for 1km and ur back started to hurt it's probably just weak
so it will get better with time
u should do some stretches
type "lower back stretch" into google
and if ur getting lower back pain u should probably stretch your hips/glutes/hamstrings too

I just have a quick question for everyone - whats good to eat for breakfast?
I hear that if youre going to eat high carb food its best to eat it in the morning so to be able to burn it off all day.. ive also heard that eating any breakfast is better than eating no breakfast.
also, are eggs good for you or bad for you? I hear conflicting things.
Any opinions on a successful breakfast menu would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can eat whatever the hell you want for breakfast TBH.
The more of your day's calories you can get in for breakfast, the better. But make sure to save protein for post-workout.
And eggs are very good for you. As long as you get exercize the cholesterol shouldn't be a problem and eggs are a great source of protein and amino acids. Both the white and the yolk are very nutritious.

Oh yeah, completely missed that,
Lower back pain during running is usually from poor form.... if you're running heel-toe you need to stop that. Forefoot-midfoot strike.
PMme if you wanna discuss further.

As long as you don't have any heart problems and workout I'd go with eggs, bacon and some fruit.
Works very well and you need the saturated fat and protein to fuel your workouts. Sat fat -> cholesterol -> testosterone

i tried fair number of bf computations and have thus come to the conclusion that i'm definitely not at 30%. the computations tell me i'm in the high teens range so that definitely sounds more realistic. i know they are just ball park figures but they all pretty much had the same range (i tried like 6 different sites). i'm finally over it lol.
it feels kinda awkward not going heel-toe when running/jogging. i'm pretty sure i've been doing that my whole life and never experienced back pain before. but then again i never ran for prolonged periods so i guess i'll have to keep that in mind the next time i go for a jog.
thanks to all who responded to my queries. much appreciated!
i'm off for some cycling
