Happy birthday Danny! Hope you have a kick ass day. And 8 pounds in 2 weeks is a nice amount of weight to lose man. I've lost 20 pounds in 10 weeks (getting in shape for my holiday next week). Would like to know your secret haha.
secret: spend more of my time reading about foods and my body instead of gfy ;)
never used to watch what I eat, or my calories intake.. Im guessing I ate over 3000 a day easy.. and now I am eating 1500 with the right meals, every 3 hours.. low carbs, no sugar, very low fat.. lots of protein.. (I don't exercise, thou it would help.. I just eat right)

every 500 calories less a day loses 1lb a week.
Looks like we're reading the same stuff haha. I prefer to go the more exercise route tho. In the 10 weeks I've been training harder I'm doing 20 miles per week running and 3 games of soccer. I love food so I'm not cutting right back on my food, it would kill me not being able to eat takeaway now and again. Also for the last month I've been out Friday Saturday every week with my friend and getting wasted so thats not helped. I reckon if I didn't do that I would have dropped at least another 8-10 pounds.
Not to worry, I'm in good shape for my beach holiday anyway. Time to go out and get fat again for 2 weeks

correct me if im wrong thou...
too much cardio will also burn muscle, and 1 pound of muscle burns 50-100 calories a day.
if you can gain 5 pounds extra muscle you can afford 250-500 calories more a day.. thats like a daily run everyday.

I'm not too fussed about gaining muscle just yet. I'm more interested in losing weight and fat. Once I get to a level I'm happy with I'll begin building some toned muscles hopefully.
