So here I am trying to start blogging.  I will begin with my latest goal, which is obviously to lose weight, look better, excercise more, and eat better.  I've been thinking about this for awhile now but I acted on it last time I went to the mall and stopped into vitamin world.  I purchased TNT from the FIREBALL company.  TNT is a pre-workout booster and thermogenic (heats up body to speed up metabolism,) I took the full bottle and it did give me more energy while using it.  I would take it 3 times a day to get energy to workout or run.  I do not have a gym membership so my means of excercising where limited to videos and old-fashioned workouts with no equiptment or treadmill.  I hope to find a gym to join soon as summer is not too far away and I'd like to be in shape for it.  Anyhow, today I was looking for a weight loss product and stumbled upon Xendadrine Ultra Strength Fat-Burner.  I took 2 tonight because I didn't get home til about 8 or 9 PM and wanted to get a headstart.  Obviously the caffeine and energy boosting formula works because here I am outside on my porch blogging for the first time lol.  I am hopefull that Xenadrine will work because of the clinical research to back it up.  Quote:

In summary, particapants lost an average of 21 lbs. vs placebo group!

I hope I lose 21 lbs or more as well, or atleast lose some weight and tone up my stomach etc.

I would atleast need to lose 21 lbs to be satisfied fully of my progress.

I am 21 years old, previously didn't workout that much due to lack of motivation to (no energy), and I wasn't that serious about what I ate and drank.  I have been trying to cut out the fattening foods like pizza and trying not to drink soda like Pepsi or Coke. In the next chapter I will talk more about what I need to do to lose weight, if nothing else atleast so I can get it into my head lol.

 

• Chapter 2 - How to Lose Weight  - Where do I start?

Despite the way it feels, losing weight isn't a mysterious process. It's a simple matter of burning more calories than you eat. But, if it were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem, would we? Weight loss can be such a struggle that we start thinking we have to do something drastic to see results -- diets, pills or those weird fitness gadgets on infomercials that promise instant success. The true secret to weight loss is this: Make small changes each and every day and you'll slowly (but surely) lose those extra pounds. The key is to forget about instant results and settle in for the long run.

Note: (source=http://exercise.about.com/cs/weightloss/a/howtoloseweight.htm)   However, I will summarize it for myself & readers alike)

1. Rules of  Weight Loss:
1.   To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3500 calories over and above what you already burn doing daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories and you certainly wouldn't want to try to burn 3500 calories in one day. However, by taking it step-by-step, you can determine just what you need to do each day to burn or cut out those extra calories. Below is a step by step process for getting started.
2. Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Your BMR is what your body needs to maintain normal functions like breathing and digestion. This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day. Keep in mind that no calculator will be 100% accurate, so you may need to adjust these numbers as you go along.
3. Calculate your activity level. Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn while sitting, standing, exercising, lifting weights, etc. throughout the day. It helps to keep a daily activity journal or you could even wear a heart rate monitor that calculates calories burned.
5. Keep track of how many calories you eat. You can use a site like Calorie Count or use a food journal to write down what you eat and drink each day. Be as accurate as possible, measuring when you need to or looking up nutritional information for restaurants, if you eat out.
6. Add it up. Take your BMR number, add your activity calories and then subtract your food calories from that total. If you're eating more than you're burning, (your BMR + activity is 2000 and you're eating 2400 calories) you'll gain weight. If you're burning more than you eat, you'll lose weight.
