[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2730526, member: 29706"] I do my best to hit the Gym three times a week again. Started in January 2014 and went from 310 to 250 or so after about 6 months then life got in the way and I stopped going actively but maintained my weight and ended up down to around 245. I started back February this year and am now down to 237. I do two things, first of all [URL="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/mobile/android"]MyFitnessPal[/URL] to track calories and try and eat a little healthier. When I started I had no idea how I was going to stick to a 1800 calorie diet and now I am at 1500 calories and sometimes have problems eating enough. The app likes to complain if I don't get at least 1500 even if I am over the 1200 minimum it says I need to eat in a day. I also track my cardio and strength training with the app though it does not subtract the strength training calories burned which works out fine for me. Second off I hit the gym pretty hard considering. I am there for about two hours each time I go, 65 minutes on a recumbent bike 13 resistance keeping it above 60 rpm and I will burn around 500 calories. And about 30 minutes hitting the weights, I am not looking to bulk up but maintain the strength I have but I have back problems and a [URL="http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00033"]separated right shoulder[/URL] which has always had pain but I have resisted the knife even though it will soon be to that point. By the time I wipe things down before (since over half the people do not and I am not going to get my wife sick because of some jackwagon) and after using the equipment, and hit the shower my two hours is up and I head home to go to bed. I leave out at about midnight so I don't have to deal with other people using equipment and having downtime and I also can use the recumbent bike for as long as I like. The strength training is pretty much the same each time, inner and outer thigh, squat, forward and reverse butterfly, chest press, longpull and ab machine. I stay away from the free weights since I am there alone most of the time and don't feel like getting into a jam when no help is available. I am at the point where I feel like going more often to hit the cardio but at my limit for strength training sessions. Goal is to be below 200 and preferably around 190 when I am done which will be a loss of about 120 pounds. [/QUOTE]
