Thanks, swanso5 and mrhomefitness! Yeah, I definitely took note. I'm practically hanging on to whatever swanso5 tells me. He has helped me a lot.

Gah, I knew a discussion would be initiated once I mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo's name. Haha. He's a great player and has a good heart as well--most people don't see that. But, no, I will not do the tan and the gel. I tried gel once and it just felt weird to me. Ade Akinbyi looks amazing. However, as...

Yes, soccer player (I love any ball sport but soccer is favourite). But he is muscular (isn't he?)...Maradona's quite fat, yes. Bad coach too. I still think that working out only 3 times a week is too little (may you please explain your reasoning?) but your occupation is in health and fitness and I ...

Brentyboy, once again thanks for the reply and the link. Now, do you believe it is absolutely imperative to buy this whey protein stuff? I understand it's very supplying in protein but you know..just wondering. Is this and water the sole items you drink? Just re-posting some questions from the post ...

Thank you, Lesplease, Boss Man, and swanso5. Firstly, I guess I should put an image into your minds of what I want to look like. Cristiano Ronaldo would best fit the description. I know I don't have the same genetics and I am 5"-6" shorter than him but I'm just providing an image. So I don...

Thanks, brentyboy and Lesplease. Ok, rice and beans after the workout. No more cereal unless it's high fibre/whole grain. But I think I may just go buy some oats. How is and how much is this whey protein stuff? Cottage cheese ftw. For fish, anything but fish sticks. So canned tuna, salmon, etc. are ...

Thanks for replying, JoeSixPack and Lesplease! Ok I shall cut the bread and pasta. Most likely the rice too then, unless it's brown and even then only on some occasions. I will buy eggs and lots of vegetables. And fish too I guess because I think I'll faint if I go only veggies and fruits with worki...

Thanks for responding, Lesplease.

Ok I shall look in this. However, if primary goal is to lose the fat, should I focus more on other things?

Hey guys. I am new. goal: to lose 20-30 lbs of fat and ultimately, attain a six-pack. I really hope to lose the fat in the next 3.5 months. Of course, I will continue with exercise and nutrition after that time has passed as well. This is second topic post (first one in the Weight/Fat Loss section)....

Hey swanso5, thanks for replying! I don't find you harsh. I'm a noob and I need all the help I can get. W00t. Answers to your statements: 1) Yeah, I figured someone would say that and I believe it too. But I am fat...even if it's not an extraordinary amount. I want to lose the fat and butt is a litt...

Hi guys. I am new to this site. I have been really inspired by the success stories and now I wish to have own. I am a 5'7" . I weigh in at ~171 lbs and BMI is 26.8. So I am a little overweight according to BMI. I don't know body fat percentage since I have been too lazy to figure it out. I WISH...
