lol same here bud. I'm down to 215 now... was up around 250 a few years ago. Slowly but surely it comes off.
I'm 6'1.5'' and around 195 lbs, looking to get to about 180-5lbs before the summer.

I find the only thing that really works for me is counting calories and lifting 2-3 times per week.

Cardio only lets me drop a few pounds and is not really worth it the way my body responds to it. Plus I have a bad back and anything high impact can fuck me up.

The lifting is to just keep from looking like a refuge when the calorie counting shreds body fat pretty quick.

It's no problem to eat at a calorie deficit, but actually counting those bastards is the problem for me.

Does it make me lame to prefer staying home, cooking a fat steak over some charcoal and drink some brews. Maybe see what stupid shit is being posted here.

I will be leaving relatively early. I'm not cut from the same cloth as these guys. They are wound so tight and are all hipster.

Still, work is always way cooler after you drink with your co-workers so chalk it up I guess.

I'll def be on here later on tonight. Might make some spaghetti..... (no $ for steak this weekend)

I know what you mean. Drinking is drinking though. I dont think you mention what kind of firm you will be working for? is it small? clients?

I would prefer to have a blast with fxjawn in Vegas though as a social. and I guess trade from home

It's pretty big, it's the corporate HQ for a broker/dealer. They have branches from London to Fresno. It's family owned though so it's big and small in a way.

J lives in Vegas?? Yeah that would be great man.

Just got done eating a big plate of shrimp with the CEO I'm about to leave... thought it was just gonna be younger guys here but it's like everyone

Bonus points if you can read the comments

Daramik, care to say why your nuts are on that level?

Possibly because it was weekly support in late February?

I don't know if you already know this, but I got most amazing results in the past three months from this. No compromise on diet. In fact I just had a full of calories greasy dinner and a big portion of carrot cake without worrying about my weight and shape.

Cardio burns calories reducing both your bodyfat and muscels. If you stop cardio, bodyfat comes back but not the muscles. Therefore you are now in worse shape than before. The best way is to do cardio as well as lifting. You not only lose fat and maitain your muscles but also replace your fat with muscles because muscles eat your bodyfat to get stronger.

Until three months ago, I never did cardio - only lifting and swimming. It indeed helped me feeling good and relaxed but didn't help me much in losing weight. Three months ago I tried cardio and was surprised to learn that I could only run two and a half minute at 5MPH. Started for 10 minutes from 4MPH. I today did 2.30 miles in 23 minutes (plus 8 minute warmup and cooling-down) at an average speed of 5MPH starting from 4.4MPH and going to a maximum of 5.5. I was 182 three months ago with a visible belly. I am now 170 with a flat belly. The next target is 165 and a six-pack. Two or three more months.

Looks pretty depressing for longs, but I still think it's going there. Some retrace is possible..
