There are actually a ton of people here who have lost significant amounts of weight. Even crazy ole Himeo has lost a fuckton of weight.

I'm a proud member of the lost 50+ club. I enjoy reading other's successes to keep me motivated, especially when they've lost weight differently from me. Once the monitoring of in/out calories happens, I think it's pretty cake from there (assuming the willpower is there). The people who overcome "genetics" or such just prove that some may just need to work harder than others, but there is no such thing as "I can't be healthy and/or lose weight".

In other news I've decided to start the 12 Week Body Planhttps://www.facebook.com/12WeekBodyPlanI've owned it since release in February but as I was training with a PT who designed my programs for me there was no use for it. I've decided to put the money used for the PT towards other things. Was a bit of a culture shock going from a private facility where I never had to wait to use any item of equipment to a commercial gym environment.
The 12wbp has seen me doing a lot more dedicated ab work than I had done previously, every session in the first week has been finished off with decline planks, hanging raises and decline db crunches and although I'm already lean at 10-11% body fat I can see a difference especially in the oblique area

Found this "objective review" of the 12 week body plan which is probably, no definitely, more objective than the tired line of "personal trainers are evil!"

Thanks man. I did the gethin 12 week plan, and it worked great (probably wouldn't recommend it without checking wit your doc) People at work gave me crap at first for constantly eating every 2 hours till they saw the results, then I was getting questions and asked for advice constantly. Got several people to look at their diets and start working out because of it. This was probably the largest motivatir to get me to keep going.
I Flux between 185 and 190 now and kind of am in maintenance mode. Even pushing 40, gonna shoot for 175. Be the lightest I've been in almost 15 years. Went from size 44 to 34. Pretty big difference. Want 32 though. Can do 10 pull-ups now, something I've never been able to do before.

Wow, that plan really claimed someone lost 11.5% body fat and GAINED 2kg in 4 months? If it were me, I would have stopped reading the entire plan there. The writer has way more patience for bullshit than I do.

Congrats, but I see literally nothing that makes that plan special... you would've seen the same results if you were eating only 2 or 3 meals per day. Frequency of eating has nothing to do with weight loss or properly feeding your muscles...
Just want to clarify that for anyone looking to lose weight. There's people who only eat one meal a day at my gym, and they're a lot fucking bigger than me.

It's what he chose to do and it worked for him.
Who cares if the same or better results could have been achieved another way? This way worked and it worked for them in a way where they are comfortable with. They are losing weight and that's what matters.
Dude is pushing 40, lost 10 sizes on his waist and lost 50+ pounds. It doesn't need to seem like a special plan to you, because it's what worked for him and again, that's all that matters.
Yeah. In the end, it doesn't matter much how you do it.
Me, I had to look at the science. It boils down to calories in/calories out. Reduce what you eat, increase what you burn.
Some people have dress that up, which is fine, to make it work for their lifestyle.

TARRANT/TUCO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
a) It's a weight loss thread
b) I post links to a book that has the workouts, diet and supplement advice and breaks down everything you need to get ripped.
c) I post links to an "objective" neutral review of said book by someone with an MSC in sports nutrition
d) The objective review analyses the results of the books cover model
e) I've also posted links to the results achieved by multiple readers
What more do you want me to do?
I've already said to Tuco and Tarrant in PM that the cycle is the same: People post about the system that works for them and the keyboard warriors CONSTANTLY chirp up with comments that aren't useful or contribute anything to the discussion.
Thanks for proving my point.
In fact let's just close the thread and have a sticky at the top that says "WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT EAT LESS MOVE MORE"

I lost 14% and gained 6kg in 8 months, what's your point? Could have done it a lot sooner if at the start I knew what I did at the end and didn't have any nights out or holidays.
Fuck you and your differing opinion, chaos. You're a faggot with no dick and only one testicle. If you don't admit I'm right, I'm going to make another post on the internet, and I might even use an exclamation point!

I think it has more to do with feeling satisfied throughout the day so you don't overeat at meals. Some people get legitimately hungry a lot sooner than other people. If they try to wait it out til they get to their "appropriate" meal time it can lead to overeating because they are so hungry. I didn't necessarily eat "small" meals but I did eat whenever I was hungry which meant I was usually eating 6-7 times per day when I was losing weight and it worked great for me. I would feel hungry so I would have a handful of sliced chicken (not even close to a meal, in actuality just a snack) and that would help me make it to my next "meal time" without my eyes getting bigger than my stomach so to speak. I think it's much better to eat when your hungry (actually hungry, not bored or depressed) than try to make it to your next meal without eating.

I've read plenty of scientific studies that show eating 6+ meals a day increases weight loss, while 3 meals a day is generally better for muscle gain. The difference isn't huge, but it is there. I did look into it. And either the way, the key was finding a routine I could do and stick to, and again, it worked. Also, I was never ever hungry. Actually, I had to force myself to eat my meals. I was consuming 2500 calories for the first month then cut it down to 2200, so it definitely wasn't a starvation diet.
It's very bro-sciency, sure, but it was extremely easy to follow. Anyone who can follow simple instructions can do it. I personally wouldn't do it again, but would recommend it to any way overweight person who has no history of working out or dieting (again checking with doc first) because it just can't be fucked up. And it taught me to listen to my body, be able to determine calories consumed, expended, and knowledge of working out. While no expert or othlete, I can safely say I am 300% healthier and in better control of my health than before the program.
Oh, and thanks.
