Losing Weight without losing muscle (the little I have)

Manuel?

Cardio and less fat/caloric intake is the best route. If you decide to run, buy good shoes that are designed for you feet. Your ankles and knees will thank you later. I bought an elliptical cross trainer and that has to be one of the best work outs. Other things you can do: take the stairs instead of the elevator, park as far away from the store as possible, go for a 30-60 minute walk after dinner, take a walk during lunch, buy less processed food, get a good nights sleep, replace sodas with water, drink lots of water, and remember that fitness is a journey, not a destination.

That's been my main problem. Sometimes its easy to forget that being healthy is a lifestyle change not a quick fix

Eating well is my biggest issue... I like food too much. Slowly getting back in the gym... at least I'm allowed to lift more than 5lbs now and don't get weird looks in the gym anymore.

[Jase]

keep eating, fatty, we both know this is a losing battle.

I dislike running because it is hell on the ankles and knees.

I've been riding my mountain bike a lot. I ride anywhere from 5-10 miles several times a week. I'm amazed at how much it has toned up my upper body as well as shrank my waist. Not riding on rough trails either - mostly level paved surfaces.

Got off the street, dickweed, I'm late for my meeting.

[Epistaxis]

I like to mix cardio and weight training.

I hate both, but I don't want to be a fatass, and I like having muscles too.

Your plan sounds fine, but really it is about commiting to some form of moderate to vigorous exercise every day.

Again, it sucks, but the alternative is looking like every other piece of poo and I'm too vain and sexy for that.

[The Saltman]

vain yes but sexy?

[Epistaxis]

oh yes

just ask my mom
