Bigwickers Personal log

Just like to say i would welcome replies and any advice that someone thinks will help no matter how big or small.  Let me say a bit about myself i am 36, 6ft2 and have plenty of weight to loose. I will show my weight loss so far and say what i am looking to get too. I am currently using ephedrine 6 tablets upon waking  and go to the gym 5 times a week.

Mondays : Chest + Bicep
Tuesday  : Back + Tricep
wednes   : Shoulders
thursday : Arms
Friday     :  Legs

I was doing 15-20 minutes cardio before free weights but for some reason started to neglect it. My diet at present leaves a  lot to be desired i am probably having 1 meal a day due to never feeling hungry but when i do it would be something like, chicken, pasta, rice vegetables. I try to have at least 2 protien shakes a day.

My weight loss so far has been,

21rst september i was 135.2kg , yesterday 29th october i weighed in at 129.7kg .

i am really trying to get my head in to gear to sort my diet out as i know that is one of the most important things of training. My idea of a sensible diet for a day would be :

breakfast : 3 weetabix with semi skimmed milk

11am : protien shake

lunch : rice and vegetables

2pm : protien shake

5pm : chicken with pasta

One other question should i still be drinking as much water as i possibly can ? Any help or advice will be taken on board and appreciated

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I AM NOT EXPECTING NO ONE TO DO IT FOR ME, BUT HELP TO GET ON TRACK WOULD BE TOTALLY APPRECIATED

Hey, Welcome to journal land.

Have you started a thread in the diet section?

For me I just constantly drink water throughout the day just taking sips every now and then. I reakcon I do 1.5 to 2 litres a day.

Welcome and congratulations on the weight loss so far.

Try the following site for diet recommendations to suit your goals

Key to losing fat is diet and cardio.

Cardio wise, general opinion is to do cardio after weights - 20 mins when you glycogen levels are low following weight training.

Maybe consider a 3 day split with cardio on off days if time is at a premium.

I would just have a good look in the diet and training sections and pope up any specifiuce questions there - you will always get a response.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies i have been looking in nutrition and diet side have a few questions to as, but will add them in diet section i believe is right. Met a guy at the gym . very nice bloke explained things to me in a very simplistic way lol. He said i had to imagine myself as a cow and graze lightly during the day and not eat huge bowls and then nothing. I know to some it may not sound great but to me it hit the nail on the head for me. Well of i go to the diet section ask my questions :)
