anyone ever do a cycling class? Thinking about joining a gym with the family, and classes are free. They even have a HIIT cycle class.

I think all of these really early workouts are messing up with my sleeping patterns. I couldn't go back to sleep Sunday morning at 5 and I could only stay up past 9 pm last night. Hopefully my body can readjust.

Also I'm going for a little wider grip on my overhead press then I previous had. let's see how this turns out.

I've lost 30 pounds since March by changing my diet and eating healthier, and by lifting weights. Not much cardio at all. I stand at 250 lbs now, damn I look in the mirror and it's like nothing has changed. Man boobs, love handles, round belly looks the same from when I started....

It killed my happy mood today.

Did you take before/after pictures? Have you bought new clothes since then?

You see yourself in the mirror every day. I didn't notice any change until none of my clothes fit anymore.

But it's not, 30 pounds is an accomplishment.

I'm not saying throw the progress away but take sometime away from the scale and just keep doing what you are doing.

Yes I did do before and after pics for progression. I can tell I've added some muscle. And the new clothes I've bought is a few sizes smaller. But the man boobs and belly is still there.

I step on the scale everyday, more than a few times. When I wake, after I eat, before/after the gym, after I use the bathroom. Smdh. I really don't care as much about the number cuz I'm down 30 lbs and I still look the same, I just want to look different.

I went and bought a preworkout at a local gnc last week. The guy working asked me what are my goals, I said "get bigger than I am now but with less fat". He responded by telling I can't do both at the same time, I gotta choose one and work on it only. I rarely do cardio just started about two weeks ago, mostly do weights. I dare to say that might've had a mental effect on me.

Coming from 280 is going to be a long process. 30 pounds since March is fast paced but you have to realize you didn't gain it quick and you aren't going to dynamically change your composition quick.

You are doing it the textbook way for long term results that will look good, you just gotta keep at it.
