need some advice

[Radical Jack]

As long as you eat right, reducing your fat wouldn't be hard. What is your eating habit? Do you eat a lot all at once or do you eat small amount of food each and every couple hours? If you eat all at once, please change your eating habit. Try to eat something that has less calories like salards without too much of sauces. And i do have more time than you but i usally work at night time. Hit a gym and get some personal training. I think when you sign up at Bally's, they give you personal training for a week or so. Buy some Men's Health megazine and there are a lot of things to read. Good luck :D

Brown rice pasta is definately good. Stay away from any wheat/regular pasta has it has TONS of gluten which is no good.

Pasta is not your friend. When doing the low carb thing, you come to a level where you don't loose wieght. You have to keep with the life style and wait it out. Some people feel that pasta is good. In my case I gain wieght looking at it. Walk walk walk. Be carefull not to hurt yourself while loosing wieght. If you do, the old "food is my friend" thing kicks in and here comes the pounds back.

Solid Advice, Thanks. Pasta is not my friend, but is my mistress. Boy o Boy do I love spaghetti, and lasagna, and anything else with pasta. Guess I will have to give up the pasta as well.

Diet is everything! i cant tell you the amount of times i would yell at my clients when i was a trainer for telling me they were going to go out and get some dunkin donuts after a session. Pasta is good and bad. Great for a meal before a workout because it will provide Carbs that will give you energy to have a good work out. Bad because if those carbs are not used up, they will be stored as fat :eek: As to your first question, i know you work alot and go to school, but what is better lifting or running? BOTH! both need to combined in an effective way to maximize your weight loss. I was a full time student, worked 4-5 days a week,went to the gym, and trained for boxing 2 hours a day for my entire sophmore year in college. You can make the time if you get serious about it. I know you can lose the weight because i saw my laziest freaking clients lose 10-20 lbs in a 3 week span. Just stay with it and youll be losing the weight in no time!

I have found the time to workout. I have already lost 10 pounds since I started this thread, so thanks to all for the great advice and encouragement. I would love to join a gym, unfortunately, there is no money for a gym right now. But I have made some great progress running the track at a local school and doing body weight exercises at home. Oh, yeah, and eating right. Once again, thanks for everyone's great advice.
