Default Goals

Hey you guys, i'm trying to get myself down to a 36 inch waist by september 16 currently i'm a 42 inch waist and have been on induction for about 6 1/2 weeks.

I started doing major exercise about 2 weeks ago which includes doing tae bo 3 times a day 1 hour morning 30 mins afternoon 1 hour at night. Plus weights every other day, with 1 day off a week from exercise.

The point of this is do you guys think that its possible to lose that many inches off my waist by september or am i just deluding myself?

I want to be optimistic but ultimately i know i must also be realistic as well.

I don't know how tall you are, but I think it's realistic.

I started wearing a size tight 44pants and going on 3 months I am in a lose 40. My goal is a size 36 pant so I am kinda in the same boat.

The problem is, most people lose differently. But with your age it shouldn't be a problem.

Let us bask in our Genetics! lol Young tall males!

At least you're not taking that for granted lol!

Goodluck, Guy_Solo!! I think FightingtheFight is right, it sounds realistic. But even if you're just a little off from your goal, you're still going to feel so great! My motto is, it's better to aim high and fall short then to aim low and reach your goal!!

I think it is realistic as well. I dropped from 58 to 34/36's in a longer time period of course, but as Mary-chan said even if you don't make it, you are still in 38's not 40-somethings. Work on the core muscle group, so that when the fat comes off you'll have muscles to show off underneath it. Keep the faith and keep the body moving, you'll make it.
