True that. But, we're trying to find a way for Rex to tone up with the least path of resistance. If he can take the first step of just regulating what he eats, then each new step will be that much easier and that much more beneficial. Weights are, like, the fifth step in this ladder...


Well, to me regulating my diet is harder than doing exercise. But it might be different for you.

And are you in shape?

I really like food, if I exercise it's mostly an excuse to be able to eat more food.

Hate to tell you this, but doing weights does not necessarily help you lose fat.
It can convert your carbohydrates into energy, to help develop muscle tone, but it does not burn fat, at least not in a quick fashion.

This is why I have not touched the weights since I returned to the gym a few months ago.
I have been working on cardio first, using running machines and the excercise bikes, as the initial priority is to burn calories and get my internals fully functioning again before I worry about toning my muscles or bulking them back up.

Weights are absolutely no use for losing fat without a controlled/balanced diet of sorts.

Weights are the last thing anyone wanting to lose weight, should be considering.

What rex is going to do with the dog walking and bike riding is far more useful than lifting weights, and probably even more useful than straight forward dieting.
Cutting out bits and pieces here and there, is a good idea, but full on dieting is not necessarily the healthiest thing to do.

What kind of cereal?

Are we talking Cheerios or are we talking Extra-Chocolate-Marshmellow Cookie Crisp Sugar Balls?

How many bowls, on average?

What kind of milk?


And you're saying you eat only a sandwich and something "light" for lunch and dinner every day? What's light? I can't see you eating soup if it's so hot outside you're not hungry.

What about snacks? Do you snack between the meals? What kind of snacks?

I'm asking specifics because your weight could very well come from UNDER-eating. If you're not getting the right amount of healthy daily caloric intake for your body size, your body thinks you're starving. If it thinks that, it begins hording fat cells to store for future survival. If that's the case, then you're actually gaining weight from not eating enough.

Quoted for the Truth. This guy knows what he's talking about. I'm being serious here. Obtaining a balanced metabolism is the most important key in actually losing weight. Also, like Nowhereman says, if Rex wants to slim it down, using the weights during the improper health cycle would actually build more weight, albiet it would be muscle.

Yeah, I'm relatively in shape. I'm not going to run a marathon like my wife, but I'm fit. However, I have an addictive personality trait. Thus, managing habits and practices has to be a primary focus for how I, as a person, function. Getting and/or staying healthy mean I have to learn habits that promote healthy eating, first, before I can motivate a physical regiment of exercise. That's just me, though. I'm sure it's different for everyone...

Well with weights you burn a lot of calories, and you grow muscles that require more calories. So unless you start eating a lot more than before, the calories you're obtaining should go to your muscles instead of becoming more fat.

Weights are good for burning off recently consumed calories, but have little effect on fat.
Once calories become fat they are no longer calories.

Weights are good for keeping fat off, but excerises such as walking, sit ups, squat thrusts and running are more use for losing fat that has already taken a hold on the body.

Too many people think that fat can be converted into muscle by doing weights, but they are not even connected.

Just for the record, just so Juicy Fruit (or whatever he is called) knows, I might be a bit of a fat slob these days, but go back a few years and I was not only a regular weight trainer, I was also heavily into athletics, and would take part in two day decathlons and shit like that!

None of this was professional, nor was I ever the greatest person at it, but you still have to know what you are doing when it comes to shit like this!

I agree with what nowie is saying. If you want to lose weight you have to move your entire body for long periods of time. You do not do that sitting on a weight bench. That is one of the reasons I walk when I can since on a bike you can cheat and coast when you don't want to pedal. Walking keeps you honest.

I lived in the apartment complex I'm moving into before. I'll be more active now but even back then I lost weight just because of the location of the apartment.

As far as dieting goes, try a protein diet. I love it.

Weights really don't burn THAT many calories. The bit about muscles altering your metabolism is true.

Rex, I know you don't exactly like listening to me, but I'll tell you... Take it from a dude that's dropped nearly half his body weight. Walking a lot makes a hell of a difference. Just put on some comfortable clothes, listen to some music, and it's a fucking breeze. And it only gets easier.

Don't get discouraged if you're genuinely trying to lose weight. And don't think "I'm not doing enough, I'm not trying hard enough."
You're trying. That alone is "enough." Just keep at it, man.
We may have had our disagreements in the past but I'll definitely support you on this one.

There are no scars thanks to cauterization. Just a cock that looks like an apple core.

Hey, I'm being supportive here. But if you wanna be a dick, forget it. I weighed nearly 300 pounds at one point. In two years, I'm down to 155. I know what I'm talkin' about here.
