The harder and longer you train the more you have to replenish. I found optimal weight loss came at 45 minute workouts 5 days a week, each burning between 400 and 600 calories. Combine that with a mildly restricted intake and healthy whole food eating plan and you will consistently drop lbs and they won't all come back later.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-80388172429705913782012-05-07T14:59:30.121-04:002012-05-07T14:59:30.121-04:00You did it before.

It is so much more difficult to lose weight in the fall when body is programmed to store the fat. <br />Good luck and hopefully soon you will be the biggest loser. :) (I truly dislike that show!)Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-84608838598907631872012-05-05T19:31:00.446-04:002012-05-05T19:31:00.446-04:00Time to get back on that horse names weight loss, ...Time to get back on that horse names weight loss, buddy! You've done it before and you can do it again. If you have the dedication to train 20hrs a week, you have the dedication to focus on this!<br /><br />You are right about how weight loss no longer happens once heavy volume is introduced. <br /><br />For example: I am at 153lbs right now and have been avg around 15-17hrs training per week. I was 153lbs four weeks ago as well. And why does this happen? You need a lot of fuel to power the machine. I have not even had dinner yet today and already have taken in over 4000 calories - that does not lead to weight loss!<br /><br />Good luck at getting to your goal weight Joe - I believe you can do it and do it well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-51249670105451673212012-05-05T13:11:35.054-04:002012-05-05T13:11:35.054-04:00Interesting.

I don't track calories but do log workouts and weigh myself every day. What I've found is<br /><br />~4 hours/week - gain 1-2 lbs a week<br />~6 hours/week - stay even<br />~8 hours/week - lose 1-2 lbs a week<br />~10 hours/week - stay even<br /><br />I'm guessing that is because at 10 hours per week I'm significantly more hungry than at 6-8 hours per week.<br /><br />A couple things that help me are to spread out my breakfast so I'm not starving at lunch then tempted to over eat. Having a mid afternoon apple instead of chips or licorice seems to help a little too.<br /><br />Good luck. You can do it.Ransickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084824367872613487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-69925621639487178722012-05-05T08:44:35.613-04:002012-05-05T08:44:35.613-04:00I think you left out a piece of the puzzle that he...I think you left out a piece of the puzzle that helps explain it - you recently had a pretty emotional post about the insane stress you are/have been under. I know that is a big part of how I got to "that weight". Comforting ourselves with food can only be compensated with exercise to a point - and the brain will play all kinds of games of "justification" to allow our soothing to continue. So maybe I just want to offer a big (((HUG))) - hope that isn't too inappropriate. And tell you that I've been struggling on the nutrition front too. I just haven't been backsliding on the scale as badly (yet). So renewed focus on eating more produce, lean meats, and overall less. Mix that with the swimming, biking and running that we ENJOY (remember that!) and both of us can see some downward trending on the scale!TriMOEngrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263218066341525194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-43953041492406430512012-05-05T08:18:19.496-04:002012-05-05T08:18:19.496-04:00I find it is so easy to put on weight and so diffi...I find it is so easy to put on weight and so difficult to get it back off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.com
