R3v Weight loss thread?

you want to find a balance of weight lifting, cardio & eating. Not eating and working out don't work like you experienced, no energy.
I lift for 30-40 mins
then do cardio for an hour. Mix it up. I do plyometrics 2 times a week, some days just get on elliptical for an hour (every couple of weeks turn up the resistance), now I just started HIT training (sprint 30sec (11-12mph) then jog 2mins sprint 30sec keep repeating for an hour)
eat at least 5 little meals a day. it's about every 3 hours they say. don't eat fast food and soda

You're potentially not helping your aerobic endurance/capacity with how hard you are doing the HIIT.

Did 8.25k on the elliptical. I'm thinking when it's warm enough for me to get started I'll be able to jog about 5k. The machine is very low impact.

doubt it since I rotate it all. Just trying to burn fat fast not do long distance running. I like strength, speed and agility.

This one time I had to lose like 6 pounds to weigh in for a wrestling tournament.

I switched to strictly water, 1 whole gallon a day; I don't leave home without a full gallon jug, and jus carry it around all day.

Dropped 9 pounds first week. Lets hope this momentum continues through the water weight loss phase into the cutting phase.

Water
Chicken and salad for every meal

I'm doing just chicken and salad for the next month, it's going to suck. Barely any carbs.

I need to get back into a fitness routine again.....used to be very active with biking/swimming/working out a few years ago but after purchasing the house (and all the projects that came with it), the 'routine' stopped. As a result, I have put on some poundage.....not a lot, but enough to notice a difference in how I feel and how some of my clothes fit. I'm 43 and ~5'11''. My ideal weight before was 185-190. Currently I'm tipping the scales at around 210, so at least 20lbs gone would be nice.

Diet is grilled chicken, eggs, and cabbage.

I let myself get a little fluffy over the winter. Was still in the gym a bit but I gained about 7lbs over the winter from drinking and inactivity. Already dropped 2, on my way to a lower weight and better shape than I was last year. I use a weight loss app to track my calorie intake and what I noticed is I eat WAY too many carbs. Problem for me is I don't eat meat so I eat alot of fruits and veggies and fruit has lots of carbs. Trying to find ways to cut that back.

I've been hitting the gym for a solid two weeks 5 days a week, cutting out almost all processed and sugar added foods and using the elliptical doing 6k most nights and I think I've lost 2lbs lol.

I have noticed a difference in muscle, though. I'm not so much concerned with the # on the scale but more so on how I look/performance. I think I've just replaced fat with muscle, which I am vey OK with.

I think to get rid of the last few lb of fat I'm gonna try adding a burner and protein. I sit on my ass most of the day at work so besides substituting coffee for green tea something to keep my motabolism up couldn't hurt.

You're not a woman, so that is what you're after. Women(most) seem to only care what number it reads.

I care about the number and I'm not a woman.

It's also because starting next year at work your BMI will have an impact on the price of your health insurance.
