Here is a stupid question! I sat down and half arsed figured my calorie intake that i get daily and its around 1500. Question is , is that a alright number? I usually drink a v8 everyday along with fresh veggies . I feel good and my blood pressure is down so guess it is good?

That is a good number to shot for woodhauler.

And congratulations on the weight loss, I know how hard it is to do so.

You should add weight training if you really want to see a difference. Cardio is ok but the more muscle you add the more calories you burn throughout the day just doing nothing. My wife and I have always worked out doing a body building routine and have spent lots of hours in the gym. We see the same people on the cardio machines day after day and notice very little changes in them, we call them "plodders". The people we see hitting the weights are the ones we can notice the most results in a shorter time.

The key is once you start feeling comfortable with your routine, mix it up. If all you do is cardio, push harder, faster, up the resistance, etc. When you stop getting sore, you aren't building muscle anymore, you are just maintaining what you have. Your body sort of gets used to it, and you level out. So if you want to improve, try a different kind of exercise, or push harder with what you are currently doing!

(this advice came from my lifting class teacher last year)

I will try the weights when i lose another 25 pounds! Want to get rid of the man boobs

Well then be careful what you lift, bench press might just give you firmer man boobs

For those of us who live too far away from a gym to participate, we set up our own exercise area in the basement. I found a 10 x 10 or 12x12 rug with good padding underneath, a tv, a cd player, weights (including hand weights, ankle weights, and regular barbells), a real good pair of shoes and comfortable clothes. This is a gym for those on a budget! I bought 6 different exercise cd's, one for cardio, one weight training, and several combination's of both. Each day I popped in a new tape to exercise different muscles. DO NOT OVER DO IT! You will get sore, discouraged and then quit. I do not do these so much in the summer, because the garden and all the other outdoor activities keep me going, but in the winter this routine is awesome. You will feel better, look better, and like yourself more.

Best of luck!

excellent!

Magicman · « **Reply #37 on:** August 08, 2010, 02:44:18 pm »

Good for you !!! Now you have the motivation to keep on keeping on. Keep exercising and tightening up what's left, and stay on the diet so that there is less of what's left.

What's your next goal? 290? And then.....

Woodhauler · « **Reply #38 on:** August 08, 2010, 02:47:46 pm »

I'm thinking if i get to 250 ,it will be good for me as i am over 6ft tall.
