Currently I am somewhat of a fatass.  This thread, along with my supportive girlfriend, will help keep me on track.  I will update every thursday.

This thread is pure bravery.

Save money... lose weight... walk to work.

From the de-overweighted, I wish you luck!

Save money... lose weight... walk to work. 

Too late!  I've been walking to work since February.  It's really not enough of a walk, since i moved across the street from work in February

You must really, really hate HLP.

OK, take the scenic route.

I've been hitting the gym since about April myself. I haven't lost any weight but I'm getting a lot of my definition back (Replacing fat with muscle pound for pound). Most important thing is to stay consistent, force yourself to go even if you don't feel like it. Having someone go with you helps a lot in that department. I combine cardio with strength training and that seems to have worked for me. In the past I did little cadio and mostly weight training only to find I was gaining weight and not losing any fat. This time around I started off with heavy cardio sometimes up to an hour a day combined with about a half hour of weight training now I'm down to about a half hour each and still keeping the fat loss to muscle gain ratio at about the same levels.

245 lbs / 111 kg

Gained some weight, but i am feeling better.  I'm guessing the extra is due to putting on some muscle.

You won't notice any visible results until ~4 weeks in.

[Topgun]

looking good bro. like swantz said you won't notice a difference until after the first month

247 lbs / 112 kg

Same deal as last time.  Feeling better, but weighing more :-\

[deathfun]

Give me a knife and I'll carve some of that weight off ya!

That aside, what else are you doing in order to tackle this?

[Turambar]

other than going to the gym and eating right, what else is there to do?

[Ghostavo]

How are these the weight loss chronicles if all you do is gain weight?

[Turambar]

I think some muscle gain is inevitable due to how weak i had gotten.  I wouldnt be surprised if my legs look completely different on the inside at this point.

[TwentyPercentCooler]

Yep, when you start stressing your muscles, they're gonna be focused on building up and keeping you intact. When you plateau on muscle gain (for now), then you'll start getting adipose tissue breakdown. Keep at it! Go harder, even. You'd be surprised at what you're actually capable of as opposed to what you think you're capable of.
