Hey all, I'm back for the 2012 RESOLUTION! I was in the old thread for a while got down to 140 and the started working out, bulking up and stopped trying to lose fat. Now I'm trying to cut down to about 6-8% BF for mid march.

I started my carb cycling diet about 2 weeks ago. It's working out good so for but if anyone has any other carb cycling diets, i would like to know.

day 1 1000 cal. 55% protein/ 40% fat/ 5% carbs
day 2 1500 cal. 45% protein/ 50% fat/ 5% carbs
day 3 2500 cal. 30% protein/ 40% fat/ 30% carbs
repeat

Has anyone started a weekly check in? Ok I'll start.

Started weight BF% waist
1- 8-12 161.6 13.5% 32
1-15-12 154.2 13% 31.5
1-21-12 151.6 12% 30.5

Good job! You sound like you got a plan!

Wow, I'm surprised I didn't see the old thread or this thread until now. Hopefully I'll have time to be of some help to everyone viewing the thread who needs information regarding weight loss, general nutrition, injury prevention, resistance training, muscle mass, strength imbalance, postural abnormalities, etc., just let me know. My background is in Kinesiology (the study of human movement and performance) and primarily Biomechanics as well. One of the goals in this thread is also to "debunk" a bunch of well known myths out there in regards to health and fitness. You would be surprised how many so called "awesome" personal trainers provide inaccurate and invalid information. I'll try to be around this thread as often as I can, but I'm usually talking about car topics on this forum (naturally ), especially since I talk about health all day Monday-Friday. Hahaha.

Dont let it get you down to much. Look to see if there are any improvements that can be made in your diet or maybe change up your workout alittle. And kick this week's butt!

Hi all, good to see everyone doing so good. I've been busy and doing a cam in my car so haven't been around much. Anyhow less than a week from my 57th and I am not quite at my single digit body fat goal but am almost there but I am going to have to take a break for a bit, if some of you remember last year I was in the hospital for some kind of blackout. They never did figure it out but we know a few things that seem to trigger it, the worst thing is working on my back in closed quarters, well working under my car yesterday triggered it, I managed to call a friend to come get me, I didn't blackout but was screwed up for a while. I am fine now but am going to take it easy for the next week or so then will be back at it. On a good note, checking over my records I see that last time I was at this body fat level (11%) I was 54 and weighed 168lbs, I am now at 177lbs, you know what that means, a gain of 9lbs lean body mass (muscle). It may not sound like much over a three year period but at my age putting on 9lbs of muscle is ok in my book.

Just the person I need. I have done weight training on & off most of my life. I took weight training in college (and kinesiology which I might add was the hardest undergraduate course I ever took!) so I basicly know correct form. I just re-started doing some weight training just using dumbells & ankle weights. I expect muscle soreness, without it I am not working hard enough. But this time I noticed it was hurting a little in my elbows & sholders. I have avoided using resistance bands for several years in exercize classes because they felt like they were putting strain on my joints. No problem, I just substituted equivalent moves with dumbells & all was well. I am 53 yo. The discomfort was not bad & was gone in a day or 2 but is there something different I need to do now that I am .........Okay I'll say it........old :( ?
