There is not only one way, I know this. Basically what follows below, is my way for losing fat. I really like it and I think I have become quite successful at it and I have learned a lot in the process. This is basically a way for me to put all...

Monday I begin cutting more calories and starting my journal. Im getting married March 27th so that will be my deadline. This will give me plenty of time to see some abs!

And . . . friends in town last night. Way too many beers. Dammit. Now I not only feel like crap, but ingested about a trillion empty calories. Bad use of metabolism last night. Not happy about it, but can't fix it. I'm guessing that my row later on is pretty much going to suck, but I'll be grinding through it as penance. Dammit.

However, due to the overall spread of the fat loss, the bf% didn't change much when calculated...

Hey, Good work with settings goals and motivating yourself. First thought off the top of my head is that you are probably doing too much around your workout. If you are doing a 30 minute run you are probably going to be too tired to give it your all during your workout, and therefore won't make progress as quickly as you would like. What I would suggest is moving your running and swimming to the days that you don't work out, so you...

Your knees will be happier if you avoid any high impact stuff. Running wouldn't be at the top of my list. If you mean an average of 5lbs a month that shouldn't be that hard. You'll likely do a little better the first part and the loss will slow down later. Don't expect it to be a smooth line .
