If you are trying to loose weight ONLY focus on that as your goal.
You will be able to bulk up fine when you have reached you weight goal.
Drop the weight first before building up your muscle mass.

I have been at this for a year now and it is an ongoin process.
I know I could have dropped weight faster, I know that I could have got to my goal by now but the biggest thing is a change of lifestyle.
Eat healthy....NO CHEAT DAYS!!!

Keep strict with yourself. Doing this for yourself is the best decision of your life.

deuel_1, first off AWESOME JOB!!! That's a great job so far.
Whatever you have done this far is great.
I think at this point you need to change up your workout.
Your body has become accustomed to being stressed out in the same way every workout.

Try some high rep, low weight workouts. Get your heart rate up and keep it up.
Mix in loads of cardio and you will start dropping again.

Bottom line with dropping body fat/weight is to keep your heart rate up and watch your diet. Do these things and you will see results.
Stay away from heavy weight unless your goal is to build muscle mass.

This has been what has worked for me. No special tricks, no crazy diet, no supplements, just dedication and hard work and I have never felt better!!!

No cheat days, but a cheat meal is fine for that day. Im adamant about proper diet however, alot of us who work out eat for the sake of eating to bulk, cut weight. It has become a chore to have a strict diet or eating tasteless chicken and eggs all day. We are constantly stressed with our daily lives why stress yourself even more by withholding a certain food, why not reward yourself something nice and not permanently eliminate all cheat foods. Eat in moderation, if you want that whopper on wednesday, work your ass off a little more at the gym that day. Its not always about physical health,but also your mental aswell, so kick ass at the gym and let those endorphins sink in.


“Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
― Dalai Lama XIV

So, eat!
