Im considering to buy a Nike Fuelband to motivate me to go training... quite expensive, do this shit worth the 140$?

How is everyone doing with this?

I am happy to say I stuck to my new years resolutions and am doing well. Have lost 15 pounds since January, down from 215 to 200. I am 5"9 / 5"10 so I still have room to imrpove. Although I am a heavier set person, so I think I want to lose another 10 - 15 pounds at the most. Than in the long run go back up to 200 with lots of muscle.

Feeling great, looking better. Lots more energy and less of a desire to eat junk food.

I recently started going to the gym, now that my cardio is getting better (can now comfortably run ~5k at a decent pace without getting very gassed) I have decided to add working out at the gym into the mix.

My cardio was so bad I felt I needed to improve it. 3 months ago I tried to work out at the gym and was getting gassed just trying to do an upper body workout. That was a real wake up call.

I will keep going with this. Really finding it rewarding. Just wondering if I should take any protein powder now that I have starting using the Gym, or is it more of a gimmick?

I eat lots of high protein foods, but I wonder if it is enough.

/e thought I would make this post # 16k, as this is something I have been working on for awhile.

My motivational statement of the day. If you don't know it, figure it out.

Okay, someone help me figure this out:


How come I'll lose fat or even muscle mass everywhere on my body, but my stomach (or torso in general, but mostly stomach) fat won't go away?


My diet is pretty good and I exercise a decent amount. When I'm exercising I lose weight very easily but it seems like my stomach won't go away. I don't really have a gut or anything but it seems like I'm really skinny everywhere except my stomach.

Run, keep up a good diet, and work the core at the end of workouts.

I do those things

I guess I'll keep at it for 3-4 more months and see if there's a difference :\

It's weird though, I am actually going to have to start force myself to over-eat now (or maybe take some sort of gainer supplement). When I'm regularly exercising, I can't maintain a healthy weight.

Right now I'm 6'0 / 145 lbs and dropping, I've lost 5 pounds over the last month since I started working out again. I want to get to at least 170 but for the life of me I can't gain weight unless I pig out and stop exercising lol.

That's why I find it odd that I'm very skinny everywhere except my stomach lol. And I don't think it's a case of being bloated from under-eating, either. Again, it's not a nasty gut or anything but I assumed that at this low weight, it'd be closer to flat

I have been working out 4-5 times a week and eating well for 3 months. Not to lose fat but just be in shape and gain muscle. Already see a difference and feels good man.

man that must be annoying. Keep at it, hope you get results. everyone is different.

I see zero gain. Been going like 3 days a week and haven't put on a single pound
I eat as much as I can for a student

Shit sucks yo

Although I am increasing weight but its just not showing
