I do 15 incline at 3.6 to 3.8 yes I have a hand on the rail too 30 min will do ya.

15 incline!?!? What the kinda treadmills do they have at your gym?
Has anyone here ever tried that machine that is similiar to a treadmill, but the two sides of it goes up and down as you walk? That looks like it could be a pretty intense workout as well.

I lost weight over the past 4 months by decreasing my calorie intake by about 1500 a day. I no longer drink 12-20 beers a night.

That's my diet.

[50 cent]

I'm in.

I'm 6'0" and have let myself go for the last 2 years. Business travel and a lot drinking have been the main culprits.

I need to be around 195 to 200 to be happy.

I balooned all the way up to 235 by this past October. My mom was very sick and I was stressed, drinking way too much, and weighed in at 250 exactly by the end of 2008. I have never been fat, nobody in family (dad's side) is fat, but here I find myself looking ridiculous.

Luckily, my frame spreads weight pretty well, but when I see myself in pictures, I can't believe my face is that ing fat. I'm done with it.

So, I started Nutrisystem this week and I have already dropped 8 lbs. I'm going to bust it like crazy until I get back to 215 or so (I'm hoping by March 1st).

Alright, I'm game....

Ht: 6'0
Wt: 223
Goal Wt: 205
Programs working: 30-day shred (with wife) followed by basic P90X
Date started: Yesterday (3 Jan 09)

I wanted to start P90X right away but found that I'm not mentally or physically prepared for it yet. I also got it second hand without all the bells and whistles, which I thought would be okay...but it's not. I need to get in better shape (reason for the 30-day workout), get the guidebooks and then start it up.

Of course I took the P90X photos, but I'm not sure if I want to share them or if you want to see them (). Maybe I can scare up some other photos in the meantime.

Weighed in at 220 this morning, so I've lost 3lbs in a week.

Not doing anything extreme so far, just running (6 of 7 days) and making smarter choices for meals. I'm going to start the 30-day combined strength and cardio program tomorrow.

[Heath Ledger]

202 lbs today so I've lost 6lbs my first week.

[jman3000]

I'd be down to lose about 10 pounds before late spring.

I'm about 205ish now. i naturally have a large build, so i doubt i'd look healthy below 180... so i reckon ill shoot for 195-190.

more than losing weight id like to get my stamina up. i can run 2 miles in about 14 minutes... i'd like to be able to drop that to 13. i didnt read any of the other thread... what are the things people are doing to drop the weight?

[beefanus]

i hate the people on all kinds of tv add diets that think drinking diet coke and being on those will make them skinny. it pisses me off, you fat s get out of bed and go work out!

219 yesterday, but 9 days into that program and I really feel/see the difference. I'm toning up and building muscle, which accounts for the lack of big weight loss.

Not ready to take before/after photos yet...but at least I feel there is progress being made.

If your doing p90x you might not see a ton of weight in your first 30 days what you will see is your clothes getting baggy. Plus adding muscle weighs more the fat you are losing.

Doing the 30-day program prior to starting up P90X. I'm also running a couple miles a day with my wife.

But to your point...I notice the clothes feeling looser. I definitely have more work to do, but so far so good!

What is the 30 day program?

[IronMexican]

I am trying to add muscle to myself. I quit driinking beer, soda, and stopped smoking weed.

That's a huge step in the right direction.

[AFBlue]

What is the 30 day program?

Some Biggest Loser inspired thing...doing it along with my wife. Basically it's a 20-25min workout with combined strength (upper and lower body), cardio, and abs...stepping up to the next level at 10-day intervals.

I figure it will be a good pre-requisite to the 50-60min, 90-day workout for P90X.

When you do px90 are you going to do classic or lean?

I don't even know what that means...because I'm getting the DVD's second-hand most likely. I'll definitely need the guides before I start the program.

But, I think if I had the guides I could do P90X classic.
