Can't seem to drop down below 160..
Most of my weight is in my quads chest and stomach
How do I get to 150 I need to lose 48 lbs.. idk what is fat and muscle,
Do you think running everyday will get me there?
My biggest problem is I like to eat. :(
If your goal is weight loss, then you'll need to work your heart rate correctly. Its not about running or putting yourself through hell, you lose most fat not doing that actually.
For example, you could do cycles of running and walking with the goal of keeping your heart rate in zone 2,3 and touching 4 a little. One routine is 8 minutes of interval 1 min jog, 1 min walk. After the 8 minutes, then do a pull or push machine during rest. Its not really full rest, but your heart rate should settle down to zone 2 before you get back on run/walk.
Repeat above until you've done 4 cycles of run/walk and 4 cycles of machine lift. This can easily be done in an hour gym session.
Heart rate understanding and targeting during exercise is the key to faster fat loss. You can run zone 4/5, but you burn less fat and tire out quick and hate life.
This worked wonders for me, and has helped keep me lean even years later when I barely lift.
