Jog 6 miles every morning now. You can start by walking it and get to the point where you are able to jogged. Start on the treadmill before you start running outside though if you can. I started by going 3 mph on the high incline for 100 minutes and took a 10 minute break at 50 minutes. Slowly i got to where i was doing this at 4 mph constantly without getting very tired before i got to jogging 6 miles a day outside. I ate my biggest meal (around 800 calories) in the morning and ate alot less throughout the day. Helped set my appetite for the day and eat less throughout the day I limited myself to only small snacks or fruits after breakfast and I never ate past 6pm. I ate around a 1000-1200 calories a day total. Ate fish and chicken for meat and fiber is important so I ate either beans, cabbage, or collard greens as my side for every meal.

Also drank 124 fl oz of water a day. It was hard but well worth it in the end. I'm starting to think I want to stay at 180 and improve my body fat percentage.

And thing I learned through the whole weight loss process is that those workout infomercials are very misleading and some are straight up lying to you. Don't do them. The only way you can lose the weight you want is through hard work and patience. It's the only way.

The most important thing about this is consistency. I workout every day and have had about 10 cheat days since February. No days off and unless you truly are tired and DONT PLAN DAYS OFF. In my experience, it made me want to take more days off and might lead you to quit. Just stay dedictated. You can do it man!

Good stuff man. Thanks for the info on your progress.

I am working out pretty hard 5 days a week and I think I am about to do a few two a days to help get over the hump. I also have an almost 4 year old and a 1 1/2 year old and that can make it hard to get out and make it happen. Really just an excuse but at their age, its hard to get anyway a lot.

I'm pretty dedicated to doing it though. Been hitting up the gym very consistently and I know it will come.

This reminds me.....I've always been curious why gyms close during the holidays. Right after Halloween people start thinking about weight because Thanksgiving is around the corner and they start thinking about the new year and a resolution to get back in shape and so forth. People really start thinking about exercise this time of the year. But gyms will be closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day and so on....breaks up someone's routine. Also, people get these days off work and consider it a perfect time to start exercising and then find the gym is closed. Seems to set the stage for missing business and not being able to seal the deal on some free passes, yada yada yada.
