Losing Weight

I've actually been attempting something somewhat similar, Strike, since I arrived at UNI. Its nice that I have the UNI gym literally a pleasant, 5 minute walk away from the dorm.

Obviously, dietary habits are key; I've had a fair amount of success thus far; I've lost 6 pounds since UNI started. Good breakfast, getting at least 3 meals a day. Also, if you're body can sustain the surge in caffeine, guarana, and god knows what else, I've found Hydroxycut to be useful as a supplement to diet and exercise. Make sure to get some cardio in, 30 minutes of cardio 3 to 4 days a week has really helped my stamina.

The last time I was in fantastic shape I was 185 pounds at 6'2", just by way of comparison.

I eventually wanto get back into powerlifting at the 242 division. I've just let myself go (for lack of a better term) I've gained ten pounds of fat and feel a hell of a lot more sluggish. I always wanted to be skinny at least for a little bit lol. I want a good foundation to build on

I neglected to mention; I'm currently 6' 1/2'' and 216 lbs.

I used to play football, and still have a fair amount of residual muscle, so I'm built fairly sturdy; however, I need a lot more toning to do, particularly in the midsection. I'd like to drop down to about 180 or so by next year.(school year, that is)

well, i wrestled, and i lost 35 lbs.
heres what you do.
you basically cut soda, junk, cookies, cake, and all the crap out of your life. eat a lot of protien and stuff. eat like a caveman. work out. pushups, crunches (not sit-ups; they dont do as much as crunches). do jumping-jacks, sprints, ect. do that for 2 hours.

Mission: Lose 50 pounds quickly, while maintaining strength, in a uni environment.

Proposed solutions:

1) Join Track team (for the training, not your personal performance); 1 year
2) Join ROTC (ditto) 1 year
3) Join football team (ditto) 16 weeks
4) Join the Lit Society (and start drinking hard booze, brood a lot, with no food intake; 6 months)
5) Start a methamphetamine habit, then quit cold-turkey at 200 pounds; 4 months
6) Adjust diet and exercise regimen to suit uni environment; 4 years
7) Join the ACLU, fall in love with a Liberal girl who will run your life for you; 90 days
8) Join a new-age cult, called "I'm OK - You're Messed Up" pass out leaflets at the airport; 6 months
9) Begin a rigorous Samurai diet of 2 bowls brown rice @day, +fish & noodles once @ week; 4 months
10) Hunt. Every day. All day.

I highly recommend #7. Quick, kinda fun, character-building.
