Losing Weight with Starscream

Krish the Fish · 11-19-2010, 05:56 PM

I'm on a plan to lose weight and gain muscle. I'm sure you've all heard of it, and it gets miraculous results in 90 days. The highest I weighed in at was 190, and I hope to break the 160s... maybe after a couple cycles

I started my first day of p90x today, and darn it, it is hard! The workouts aren't as strenuous as one would think, but the diet you're supposed to follow is overwhelming! I wasn't used to getting 2800 calories in so much food. I'm literally stuffed, and I still have one more snack and dinner (the biggest meal) to go. The food is all really high quality, and the calorie to nutrient ratio is ridiculous. I used to eat very poorly, and hopefully if I keep this up for the next 89 days, I'll be in MUCH better shape than I am in now.

For me a "diet' implies something that ends. However these minor changes are having results, and the results motivate me to stick to it

That's the key, Myles.

That's where I want to be, but I've got a long way to go, Scott.

Shawn, you are a wealth of information, positive thinking, and an example for us all in this thread. Congrats on all the work you've done and thanks for being involved in this thread.

To the new guys, welcome aboard and hope you stick with your plans and see positive results.
