You're not short Im 5'6".

But on topic I could never fully get rid of my gut even in the Army. I always had a little stomach. That was with running 45 minutes 3 days a week.

Don't fret Squirrel Hitler, Napoleon and Kim Jong-il have all risen to great power while being less than tall.

After you pass 5'6" you start losing brain cells. So I'm happy with my size.

Saltman.....how's it working out for ya?

I need to know. I've got to start a little exercise program myself.

I read where people are saying eat 6 meals aday.......anybody have any meal plans they'd like to share?

I;m looking at starting out with a walk/run 5 days a week.

I'm an old man here so I'm going to start slow.......haven't been in a gym in 20 yrs. I think it's time to get back.

Less beer, less bread, mountain biking, protein, P90X, and just a simple healthy diet did it for me. From 185 to 155 retaining most of my muscle and I actually PR'd in lifting 2 weeks ago. Didn't take up too much time and this is over the course of about a year and a half

i started going back to the gym the past month and i've put on like 10 lbs of muscle using liquid amino supplements, whey protein, mass gainer, bcaa's and glutamine

memorial day weekend AKA guido new year is fast approaching and i've got to look ripped for the beach

Going ok. Still having problems with the diet part but im kicking ass with the cardio and the weights. Burning about 300 calories avg every time I go running.

Im just taking it one day at a time. But concerning the meal plan I havent really gotten into it. Ive just focused on eating better and not eating fast food and keeping the beer to a minimum. Lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks so im happy.

PS. I was really out of shape so when I started I just walked about a mile and a half each day for 2 weeks. Then got into the weight training and the cardio on alternating days with 2 days of rest in between.

Good luck buddy.

6 small meals a day is a must..

also, I wouldn't expect many people to be all about this, but I saw great results back in the day when I was disciplined enough to do it.

I go back and forth. When I'm working out I struggle to eat well, when I'm not working out I eat really healthy. If I could just put the two together I'd be awesome. :mad: Oh well :cheers2: Glad to hear it's going well, keep it up!
