She works out hard and is careful with how she eats, but she is now the fittest 51 year old woman I've ever seen (her arms make most guys jealous).

    It's just as important to eat the right stuff, but simply counting calories is an excellent start. Assuming your app lets you add back calories burned from exercise, it's also an excellent motivator to go get a workout. If you're trying to lose 2# a week, you probably only get somewhere on the order of 1,400 - 1,600 calories a day. The extra 150 calories per mile makes a run seem like a great deal.
    Dear Tim,

    Mrs. Belly is now hooked on the calorie counting app. I don't get to cheat because she checks mine. Yesterday's lunch had exactly one serving of everything. Want to know what 1 serving of drry roasted peanuts looks like? Well, it looks like a LOT less than I'm used to eating.

    Dammit!!!

    LoL

    Sincerely,

    Diet is a small part. Once you get into a regular workout routine if you are putting on muscle and taking away fat your metabolism will increase. In my personal experience I actually gained weight the first month and a half or so that I was seeing a personal trainer then at one point I hit the peak and then the weight began to come off very quickly. I lost 25lbs in about 3-4 months. Throughout all of this my trainer had me eating 4 times a day, a good breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon or whatever protein you want and some fruit, a light lunch such as half a turkey sandwich and small salad, a mid afternoon meal consisting of the rest of the sandwich and some other snacky stuff and then a portion correct dinner in the evening. Dieting alone can actually put weight on your body as it will go into "starvation" mode when it realizes it isn't getting the calories that it needs and will start packing away energy as fat, when you eat regularly and exercise your body will not do this.

    Been awhile since I posted in here- still hitting the gym on a consistent bases, even started doing some cardio.

    Need a new arm workout for by biceps and triceps- what are you guys doing for size?

    almost forgot I have been taking some post workout called afterglow- great stuff and has a lot of BCAA.

    Look up Jim Stopani. His workouts and nutrition are legit. I use a lot of his programs.

    Check out all the free programs on bodybuilding.com. I just started following Dorian Yates' program for size. His workouts focus on the adage of heavy lifting and low reps, working to failure. Hard to do without a spotter, but seems effective. Dude is a 6-time Mr. Olympia, so probably knows what he's talking about. You'll also find Jim Stoppani's workouts on that site. His "shortcut to shred" program is a killer.

    Same here, seriously overhauling my diet tho. Wife working late has us eating dinner around 7 or 8, and it's usually rather high in carbs. So no more carbs after 6.

    With that said, I have been getting stronger, that's a plus. Just ditch the late carbs and increase the cardio and my results should improve.

    No tips on the arm workouts, I just now started focusing on bi's/tri's, doing them on leg day.
