I'm certainly not Forrest Gump

And even if Jenny was yelling "RUN CLAD RUN!" I'm not sure if I'd go any faster.

Training for my first real 5k in a few weeks. I haven't really ran in almost 20yrs up until 2 months ago. When I was in boot camp I managed 21:30 on a 3 mile run (5k is 3.1 miles) and the next 4yrs my average was 24-25 minutes. We had to make it in under 28 minutes or we failed. I know I'm not super fast as a distance runner but I'm trying.

Ran 3km 2 days ago with a 5:45 km/minute average. Today I went 3.5km with a 5:54 average. I'd love to be at 25 minutes for this 5k but that's asking a LOT in 3 weeks. I may set my sights a little lower and just try to get to 28 minutes. My final timed run in service was 27:56 (I'll never forget that) and I was ungodly sick hacking, coughing, and blowing snot the entire way and hadn't run in 2 months. I think being under 28 is realistic at this point in time.

Need to do more sprints and leg work and only distance every 3-4 runs. Trying to build endurance and speed at once. If anyone has any other tips I'll take them. I don't have gym access though so weights are out of the question. I may load 2 gallons of water into my backpack for some running though. The extra 15lbs will make me work harder. If I put a cat in there that's an extra 8-20lbs depending on which one I take.
 
Lol

Carrying some weight should help especially if I'm doing sprints and uphill sprints. I'd LOVE to run as fast as I did when I was 19 but that's a long way off. I'm 30lbs heavier but a lot of that is muscle. Having short thick legs doesn't help when it comes to running either.

I've been trying to eat a little healthier. The only fat I need to lose is a bit of my fat pad and my lower belly. Otherwise I'm okay. It's the age that's adding the fat there.

After every run I make a protein shake with vanilla protein, whole milk, and finely ground oatmeal. Tastes like drinking a granola bar. I should do that on non run days too for breakfast. It's clean energy and fills you up for a while.

That would be funny.

This running thing does suck some days. This morning was rough probably because I took the weekend off. I should just keep it every other day. I seem to run better that way.
 
Hats off to you clad. It has been a lot of years since I have done any kind of running and only did it then because it was part of the job. I agree with you that hitting it every other day would help keep you conditioned.

Yeah 2 days off seems too much for me right now. It's rough but at least I'm trying to get in a little better shape. Been wanting to for years.
 
There is no better exercise than running. The I lost all that weight years ago it was largely due to running 2 miles everyday. It was hard at first, I had to walk most of the time. Then the shin splints came and that was tough but eventually I was able to do it. That with a decent diet can make all the difference in the world.

I do not concur. Swimming is better than running. We had overweight guys in my unit and the solution was to take them running sometimes as much as 11 times a week. None of them were losing weight.

One really hot day they were asked if they'd actually swim or just screw around in the pool. They were swimming 5-6x a week and running when we all team together. These guys were timing themselves and racing each other every day in the pool. They also changed their diets a bit. All of the sudden they were dropping 1-2lbs a week. Withing 3 months all but 2 were at or under the max weight for their height and the other 2 were within a few pounds.

Then stupidity stepped in and they were told to swim on their own time, running was the real solution. All of them started getting fat again.

Diet is absolutely the biggest thing for weight loss. Swimming, however, is awesome for low impact high energy exercise.

I don't have a routine but I stay pretty active when I am not working so I guess it is better than nothing.
 
Last year I registered in a gym but after a one month period, I gave up. Growing our penis and also doing exercises in combination will give a wonderful result. I wish I can start jogging again.

Being active helps. I enjoy my lazy time very much but at work I'm constantly active. Still wasn't enough to lose a little weight though and had to stop eating as much junk. Got a doc appt tomorrow so I'll see if I've lost any weight the past few weeks.

I think it raises some eyebrows when people hear me say I'm trying to lose a little weight. I'm getting that lower belly fat that comes with age and trying to get rid of it while getting in a bit better shape. Some of my pants have gotten tight. Its cheaper to lose the excess weight than buying new clothes.

I don't know if I could do a gym routine and PE. The years I was going to the gym it was an hour and a half total for stretching, workout, then shower. At least with running I can knock it down to half that time.

Speaking of which, time to get stretched and get out for sprints.
 
I think doing a full body transformation is best, tackle all issues in the best way. Remember, losing weight is gaining visual penis size!

Full body makeover that'll also help your mind. Get that natural dopamine high from exercise, add in frequent sex if possible, and you'll be walking on clouds no matter what happens in your life.

Ever since I started gaining weight, my penis now looks short
 
just wait until your 50's...when I was younger I could eat anything and never gain a pound, as soon as I hit 40 things began to slow-down and at 50 it got even worse. Diet and exercise are paramount now that I'm on the downward slide to 60
 
cladre60;762755 said:
That'll do it. I gained 15-20lbs at one point and mine looked smaller. I was not happy with that.

In the same boat, getting older, fat is dropping down to the fat pad. Embarrassing to myself! :) Working to fix this as I look pathetic in comparison to the past when I was lean. Can you loose size after becomes permanent? No, but it will appear that way if you gain fat.

That's why I'm trying to make lifestyle changes now so when I hit 50+ it's not as hard to stay active. Hopefully I can keep at it and make some form of exercise a permanent part of my life. I've got 4-5 months until the cold weather will push me indoors. As long as I keep it up I'll be able to find an alternative by then.

It has everything to do with my habit of eating late at night. I dropped this habit before but picked it back when I relocated to live temporally with a friend.

I have that habit too. Trying to at least move my late night snack to at least an hour before bed. Working 2nd shift and trying to go to bed at a reasonable time is hard.

I really shocked myself this morning running. Haven't done distance in a week and managed to drop 40 seconds per Km. I ran 4km, working my way up to 5k.

All about willpower. Years ago my wife told me I was "getting chubby." I didn't believe her until I went to a doc appt and got on the scale. That was scary. A change in diet was the biggest thing.

The exercise now is because I just want to feel better. Running is cheap and easy. I get some good music going (Static X seems to do it for me, I love metal) and just go. Plus with a goal in mind for this upcoming 5k it's something to push for. Having a goal, even if modest, should push you to do work. You're already doing it with PE so you can do it with anything else.

You are right, changing diet is the first step before the exercise part. I'm hoping to get on this train soon.

You can do it. Start by making smaller changes, like changing 1 meal to a healthier one and the late night snack to something good for you. After that the other meals and snacks should follow. I'm doing the that myself. Still have done junk food cause I love sweets but trying to eat less of it.

I want to avoid the late night snack. I want to eat only twice daily

Eating twice a day is actually the wrong approach. Weight loss isn't just eating less calories than you burn in a day. Besides changes in diet you actually want to eat 4-6x a day. If you are on a 2000 calorie per day diet break it down into four 500 calorie or five 400 calorie meals. Plus eating in the morning can get your metabolism moving and start burning body fat.

Your body is smarter than you. If you don't eat often enough your body will try to store it as fat because it's thinking it is in starvation mode and trying to simply survive. This is a common mistake many people make.

Good fats (unsaturated) get burned by your body and don't stick to you as fat. They're found a lot in nuts and certain oils (olive oil and others). Some people will get natural peanut butter and eat a few spoons for breakfast or as a snack during the day or have 1-2 servings of other nuts.

Protein is important. Chicken is very popular for body builders because it's typically cheap (and they eat a LOT) and good for you. Red meat they say you want to limit to I think 2x a week. Fish is good but I've also heard not too much.

Vegetables are great because they're low calorie and very filling. The best way to put it is a simple cheeseburger could be 600-700 calories and a salad with that many calories is about 3x the size (depending on toppings of course). The salad will fill your stomach much more and leave you feeling less weighed down. Plus vegetables (and fruits) give you fiber which is good and will help you shit.

Carbs need to be clean and don't overdo it. Whole grains are best. Drop carbs to a minimum 4-5 hours before bed. This includes processed sugars which are found in soda and many drinks. On the mornings I run I make a shake with powdered protein and ground up raw oatmeal. The oatmeal is very clean carbs and filling. Lunch I usually have a sandwich with whole wheat bread.

Yeah that's lots of info and I hope I got it all right.

Great advice and I can already see where I am making many mistakes. I eat twice a day. I eat close the bed time. I eat more carbs than I should. I eat more red meat than I should. Thanks for some clarity to where I am going wrong, I really appreciate it.

I'm guilty of not eating as often as necessary but I'm putting forth the effort to eat better. I do want to lose the little bit of belly I've put on but mostly just want to feel healthier.

If you try to go with a super low/no carb diet beware of the headaches. Some people say they get used to it after a few days or a week, others don't. Some people build a "cheat day" into their ultra low carb diet to shock their system. It actually does help not only mentally but physically.

I tried an ultra low carb very healthy diet with a cheat day once a week. I lasted about 3 weeks. At the end of my 2nd cheat day I felt like a greasy slob eating all that garbage. By the end of the 3rd week I was eating a little junk daily but most everything else was clean food so I called it a success overall.

I know exactly how you feel. Years ago there were days I'd have a protein shake with oatmeal, a chicken thigh and drumstick, and 3-4 scrambled eggs within 3-4 hours after going to the gym and I'd still be hungry. Once I started having a few pieces of toast with the eggs I was fine.

No plans for an ultra low carb diet in my future unless absolutely necessary for medical or weight loss purposes.

I copied everything you wrote here and stored it all in my email. I will be needing it all for the rest of my life. I have read about most of the things you said but I've never put any of it into practice. But if I follow all that you wrote here, will I lose the belly fat even without doing any exercises?

Fat loss means burning more calories than you eat. Some people need to exercise to make that happen, others don't. So really it's up to how you eat. There's people who get so fat they physically can't exercise or even walk around until they lose 100+ pounds. They start their journey with a healthy diet and if they continue they'll eventually be able to exercise again.

If your weight has been steady then do a calorie count for a few days to figure out an average per day. Then you can adjust down with a healthier diet.

Exercise never hurts and can help burn a few hundred calories. It also gets your body, including your heart, into better shape and can force your metabolism to burn fat. People who exercise a lot typically have a lower resting heart rate which is obviously good.

You can always talk to a doctor, dietician, personal trainer, or all 3 to get help setting up the best scenario for you. After that you've just gotta put in the effort.

If I exercise for one month in combination with the things you mentioned in your previous post, my fat pad will disappear within 30 to 45 days.

Seriously though, is it possible to have fat beneath my abs? I can literally see all of my abs but my belly is huge. Can fat happen under the muscle?

Changing my diet has been pretty big for me. The running is helping as well. I'm looking bigger when I'm erect so I'm at least losing fat from what I can see. It's that middle age thing. Men get "skinny fat" where they're skinny everywhere except their belly.

I need to start eating clean but I love food too much :)
 
fat begins to store within the muscle, once that space is saturated it starts building-up outside it (sub-cutaneous). perhaps the abs you're seeing are real, but the fat is contained within
 
Last week I went for a 4k run and came in under 22 minutes. I was super happy with that and on my way to beat 28 minutes which is my personal goal. I went on a 5k run yesterday and just barely squeaked under 30 minutes. However I almost twisted my ankle on the run due to the terrain (shitty sidewalks and a grass section that sucked). I was fighting the pain to keep going and could tell it slowed me down because halfway through I was breathing fine. I'd try pushing myself harder to where I'd be breathing really hard and my ankle and shins held me back.

I also had both shins wrapped from ankle to 1/4 of my calves as I've had some shin pain from running. That made my shins hurt more while running. All my other runs they weren't wrapped and I was okay. I won't be wrapping them my next few runs.

I'm not running today. After this I've got 5 days to be ready for this 5k. I think Monday I'm doing sprints, Wednesday another full 5k, then Friday I'll do a short "shakedown" run to make sure I feel okay (2k jog with a few sprints while jogging along).

I think I can pull a 27 minute time, maybe better.

They are real but distorted and the fat underneath is what is making them so visible. Nothing attractive in the least!

My belly is kinda funny looking. When I get up in the morning I'll usually have a "4 pack" at the top of my belly. Below that you can't see the muscle and I've still got a little bulge of fat I need to lose.

I'm getting there slowly but surely. I don't need washboard abs but I'd like my belly to be mostly flat again.

I think this may just be the way things turn out when you grow older. The fat pad I have is separate than my belly, there is a division between the two when it used to be one. I am going to try to get to 175 again and see where the fat pad is then. I would be depressed if I was with a woman but I am not right now, thank God. I really dislike this fat pad and it really reduces my flaccid size. Well, I guess it is a good thing to never run out of work :)

I've always been built that way but the extra fat needs to go. Last time I was at the doctor I was 175lbs. I may need to get down to 160-165lbs to flatten my belly.

I'm a short 5'6" and while I'm not extremely stocky I do have a good bit of muscle on me frame. I was just under 150lbs a few years ago and I looked really thin. The weight isn't a real concern for me though, it's how I carry it that matters to me. If I stayed 175lbs and my belly was flat I'd be happy. I want my 32" pants to feel a little loose again so I don't need to buy new clothes lol
 
My openly gay coworker asked me yesterday if running makes your ass bigger and said mine looks a little larger in a good way. I told him my pants are getting a little looser on my waistline since I'm eating better and getting some exercise in so maybe my ass isn't getting bigger but the rest of me is getting slimmer. I'd love to see him lose a little weight too. I've tried to encourage him a bit to eat a better and take care of himself a bit. Hopefully he listens someday. He's one of the few people I'd be friends with outside of work if we didn't work together.

Doesn't bother me that he was checking out my ass. Hell I took it as a compliment. That's where it ends though cause I'm not into guys.

I would do anything, even surgery if I could afford it, to get a bigger ass! Having no ass is so fucking uncomfortable.

Squats. Lots and lots of squats. Deadlifts and hamstring exercises will also help build your glutes. If you build some muscle there it's far better than just fat alone.

I'm on target to meet my goal of under 28 minutes provided I don't get hurt. My ankle got a little tweaked the other day but I ran this morning and felt okay. Shins are hurting a bit as well but I'm going to take 800mg of ibuprofen before the 5k and stretch my shins far better than I have been. Anything under 28 minutes on this 5k (3.1 miles) is just icing on the cake.
