100

damn, i don't have time to read all the stuffs.

i just bookmarked it and read it over and over again once i get some sleep. seems one of the things i need to get done-- eat right and exercise.

one of the best health threads :thumbsup :thumbsup

nice story man :thumbsup

well done I just started eating every 3 hours and I like it a lot I still eat shit though

wow... i'm speachless! what a hottie!:Graucho

you did good

CONGRATS! you look good man! im thinking if i can do it also.,well, i hope so. i also want to have good body! i guess everyone likes that!:)

Congratulations man! Keep it off!

yeah I have the same problem, I find if I start eatting small meals I loose weight but, being a workaholic I notice soon as I get up I go to the computer and start programming, and before I know it, almost the whole day is gone, so I eat lunch at around 1 or 2, totally forgot breakfast, and then when I noticed I didn't eat dinner it is around 9 or so. The only thing that is saving me is I playing b-ball 3 times a week.

i bought myself a mini fridge to keep fresh food in. i bring grocerys to work all the time. you can eat every 3 hours if you plan ahead.

keeping up with everything food and exercise wise is no easy task either. put that on top of a typical webmasters workload (never ending) and you have one full schedule.

like i said earlier, it's got to be an all around lifestyle change...

In that before picture he was wearing big shirts to cover up the rolls, but you can tell in his face.

body conscious huh . . .. . .

well i cant relate now . . . . .

What did / does your workout routine consist of when you were heavier & now?

:)

Good news... day one complete. Heh. I almost feel better about myself for not screwing up. :1orglaugh

Hey Ben, I was wondering if you could post an average day menu and maybe a little bit about the workout routine. Thanks :thumbsup

I could stand to lose about 10 lbs or more.... Probably more.

Ben, are you going to be posting your workout routine?


:)

wow... nice thread. thanks for sharing!:winkwink:

Sure thing.:thumbsup

A typical day for me...

Wake up 6:30am, slam a protein shake, go for a run. When I get back, after showering and getting ready, I'll have a banana sliced over oatmeal with skim milk (roughly 7:30am). Then a large coffee on the way in to work. 3 hours later I'll have my first snack. Usually I'll just munch some sort of energy bar, fruit, or beef jerky. Maybe yogurt or cottage cheese if I'm in the mood. Next comes lunch... Considering I go out for lunch almost every day, I have to be carful. Usually I'll go to some sort of seafood place and order grilled salmon or something of that nature. If I don't get seafood, I try and find a grilled chicken sandwich, sub sand, or something of that nature. No fries though!!! Back from lunch I might have another cup of coffee... maybe not. lol. 3 hours after that I'll have an afternoon carb load snack. Something that's going to give me plenty of energy for a good workout. I'm a cereal junky, so I usually have a bowl of oat based fiber rich cereal. A good brand is "Kashi". After work I'll head home while drinking a sugar-free redbull, then it's strait to the gym! Every week I switch my routine up a bit, but for the most part I'll take one day for back/shoulders, another for bi's/tri's, and another for legs. I usually do abs every other morning before my run.

I'll try and go further into the specifics of my routine later, but I'm in meetings all day today so it's going to have to wait a bit.

I hope this helped a little for those with questions about my diet/routine.

Thanks man, no wonder you're in such great shape, you get essentially 2 work-outs per day =)

awesome story Brad... I have actually been on this program since i got back from the internext convention in florida. I was 140 lbs and now i am 132 lbs. This is my program

7am- egg sammy (1 egg, wheat toast)
10am- apex protein bar
lunch- dry turkey sammy with a squirt of miricle whip, raw veggies, ie, carrots, cucumber, or sweet peppers

wait wait wait, someone simplify, too many words to read and understand right now :eyecrazy just tell me - was it subway (y/n), how many lbs you lost, and what it took. - either that or i'll end up reading it later when im a little more awake.

grats on the weight loss though - i hope im not posting a thread in the future that says FIT to FAT.. might just happen though if i dont get back to the gym

awesome story Brad... I have actually been on this program since i got back from the internext convention in florida. I was 140 lbs and now i am 132 lbs. So 8lbs lost in a few weeks. This is my program

7am- egg sammy (1 egg, wheat toast)
10am- apex protein bar
lunch- dry turkey sammy with a squirt of miricle whip, raw veggies, ie, carrots, cucumber, or sweet peppers etc...
2pm- apex protein shake and 1/2 banana
5pm - work out
7pm- 3oz of meat, brown rice, and green veggie

i work out 3x a week on weights, once week a spinning class usually in the mornings, once a week kick boxing, and once a week outdoor sports... ie... indoor rock climbing, hiking, bike riding, rollar blading, water sports- kite surfering, kyacking, wake boarding, etc...

And you are correct by what you say... It has to be a way of life... So when i get down to about 120 i'm going to be adding cheat days on the weekends so then i have a good balance and won't crave junk.

Believe it ppl it is not as hard as you think it is... just need to break old habits...




:thumbsup :thumbsup

Congrats Ben! :thumbsup

WOW! Those are GREAT results u've achieved!!!
U look really good now. My congrats!:thumbsup
I've lost quite a lot after the surgery on my broken elbow though it's not hte way out...

*foreseeing*

WTS - Ben + GallerySeek = new business partnership to dominate health industry.

Ben you seem like a great guy and GallerySeek word up bro?

FF

maybe! :Graucho

Thanks for the nice words.

Honestly, I wish I had the time to do something like that. GallerySeek's new progie does look hot though!!!:thumbsup

Now if he'd only hop on board with WTS... that would really make my day! ;-)

btw FF, your logos are freakin steller!!!



Oh, and GallerySeek... I never got that user/pass from you. Drop me a line [email protected]

:glugglug

lol thanks Ben.

anyone is open to new ideas, but just observed that yourself and seek are the only two (i've noticed anyway) with a firm grasp on the health / weight loss industry and are experienced/intelligent in the field, not just pushing off pills or trends & attempting to "look" knowledgable just to make a buck with spare traffic...

hit him up he's always down for convo.

FF

Ben why are you wasting your time telling you story here?

What you need to do is sell you picture to muscle mag and let them use it with the newest diet pill, i.e. hydroxicut or something.

Maybe you can be the new Jared (the subway guy)

Make some money off of this, all you have to do is be prepared to lie a little, and in this biz i am sure you can handle that.

Congrats and good luck.

Well about 2 days of regular eating and I easily burned off 6lbs.

Amazing how fast it comes off when you balance a proper diet.

Good job for those of you that are working out and trying your best to loose weight. I recently started going at it again and have seen an increase in muscle mass although I have only been working out for the past 3 weeks but this week I had to take off do to other obligations.

Hopefully all of us webmasters will become healthier and have a better fit. Working on the computer 24/7 sure slows our matobolism.

what happens to stretch marks once you have a normal weight ?

i think if you lose weight gradually you are less at risk to get them

woot? I already have them because I gained weight too fast.
I was wondering if they will disappear when I get back to a normal shape..

Hehe when you're fat you get to take pictures with girls...


...when you're thin and in shape, you get to pick and choose which hottie you want to hit!

I've been going to a personal trainer for a month and a half now. At $720 a month you should see gains, and I am!


I'm really getting into shape, and some of my friends WILL notice a difference at Internext. I fucking love getting in shape, I feel so damn good. The ladies notice too ;)


Health, looks, energy... you can't go wrong with being in shape.

Nice Ben you look amazing!!!


:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

bump for all you fat slobs

thanks for sharing :angel

Brad - how's it going since your Sept. post? :question

I was wondering the same thing.

Bump for an answer from BradM.

You look great, man. Big grats.

Maybe this thread will give some others the inspiration to set some New Year's goals of losing weight!

Since I started my "diet plan" of high protein, low carb, excercise in 4/03, I've lost 70 pounds..so has taken me a tad longer to lose a tad less, but I'm still happy with the results!

That's incredible, good for you!

I have lost about 35 lbs (16 kilo) so far, a lot of it thanks to this thread(Ben).
I still need to loose another 30lbs but I will probably be done with that until next summer.
Maybe some girls will look my way for once, lol. :love-smil

This thread is a great source of inspiration.

congrats on your achievment, thread bookmarked

congrats man

I know it's an old thread but it's a good read

Good bumping, though I look back now and see references to my ex husband and have to sigh a bit.

:thumbsup

ive lost 40 pounds since reading this thread last november. :)

But tony404 said you can't get lean like that unless you have the right genetic makeup :1orglaugh
