Hello Fellow Real Jockers,
I have being working out religiously for about 5 years now with minimal successes. My major goal is of course to lose fat. I am 6'5" and weigh 280 with a body fat percentage of 28% and BMI of 33.
Ive managed to gain about 15 lbs of lean muscle mass and gained various healthy benefits from working out (lowered blood pressure and resting hear rate).
I workout out 6 days a week. With cardio on all 6 days (intense at least 130 bpm) for 45 + minutes. I also lift 3-4 days a week as well
When it comes to eating I am very particular. With Kashi and Skim milk in the morning, almonds at 10, light lunch (wheat pasta, tomato sauce, turkey meat, lots of veggies, carrots at 3, protein shake before working out, and a good dinner.
I rarely stray, maybe some frozen yogurt every once and awhile, and eat out once a week.
Here is the delimna. When i started working out I weighed 320. I managed to drop the first 40 lbs fairly easily... but that was 2006. I have had ups and down... but barely any success loosing and weight since then.
Even with the assistance of a personal trainer I have gained a more shapely body... but its still fat.
Any suggestions, stories, personal expierences?
I feel there is an underlying issue that I may be missing!
Thanks in advance! -JJG
