My diet and workout started yesterday (Monday) and I already ****ed it all up

I had a donut and a big cup of Ice Cream but I did 20 minute cardio, hopefully it burned it all. I was sweating and my heart was beating fast so that's a good sign

I usually love benching but i seem to have stalled @ 260something lbs.
I don't get it.
No gains at all for the past 3 weeks, i literally can't go any higher, yet i can comfortably do 2 X 8 reps of that weight.

lol maybe i'm just tired.

I'm sick of my curves. I want slimmer hips. A guy shouldn't look like Beyonce despite her being hawt.

Thanks for this! I was also wondering, if I was to take supplements, what should I take?
Also forgot to tell that I've started running.

I was hoping for an answer to my query. Sorry for being a little bit annoying. Haha, thanks in advance!

Besides protein? Fish oil [really helps joints], and just your regular men's multi-vitamins. You don't need too much. Oh and to burn fat you should try taking green tea extract and chromin pre-workout.

Ugh, I can never seem to gain any weight. I always get stuck at around 160 lbs

I made it to 172 once by taking some carb powder but then I looked really doughy

I want to be 172 and ripped. HOW?!?

20mins of cardio burning off a donut and a big cup of ice-cream?

A lot of boring myths being posted here guys. Guys there's no miracle foods. There's healthy eating (tip: anything that comes from a packet is generally not that great) with lots of protein and regular, daily exercise. If you want to be a bulky muscle mess, then additional protein may be of use - has never helped me though.

Well that depends. At your job are you mostly stationary/active/etc? I usually only do like 15 maybe 20 min every other day on eliptical/treadmill because my job is really physical.

I pretty much stand up my entire shift. As for cardio I run about 20 minutes on the treadmill 4 times a week. Is that too much cardio? Honestly its tough to quit cardio because I've always been a cardio exercise guy.

I'm currently sore from yesterdays leg day work out.

For the past 2 weeks, I've been working out and eating healthy with no problem. I'm trying so hard to stay fit. I have football camp next week so I can't afford to eat unhealthy...but my Grandma just, like, made the best lasagna and I couldn't stop eating. I just kept eating.

Speaking of healthy eating, I strayed from my healthy plan for some store bought sandwiches and a bag of chips (couldn't resist anymore) but I think I got food poisoning because I'm having a stomach ache and I'm feeling nauseous after eating the sandwiches

I couldn't even bother with the chips anymore

I'd almost think supernatural forces are punishing me for attempting to stray away from this plan

I eat whatever I want and I still stay the same

My confession is that I haven't been to the gym since June 12th. BUT I have good reason! I worked on the 13th, went to a cottage party (Pre-Pride party with over 20 gay daddies which is the reason I started going anyways

), had an all day meeting out of the city the 15th and 16th, worked the 18-19th, went to a going away party for my cousin out of the city again from the 20-22, worked the 23rd, but I've been so sick that I haven't gone since, and then it was World Pride in Toronto, so I had all of that in play.

Going back tomorrow for SURE, but now I'm on holiday's soon so its going to be so hard to get to my gym or one of their other branch gyms.

If you have a friend who already goes, see if you can get a trial membership and go with them. I was in the exact position you were, sick of my appearance but no motivation to change it. I started going with friends for about an hour, I did mainly cardio/tread/elliptical for a good portion of it, and then would try the machines for a little just to see what they were like.

Eventually I stopped going with friends because now I go for about 2-3 hours (but I'm counting sauna time too) and no one wants to go that long.

I was going to create a new thread but I saw this and I would like to help if anyone has doubts about fitness/ bodybuilding. I've been lifting for 4 years and I started being really skinny and now I'm on my way to get the body I want to have.

Here's my evolution:

If someone needs advice I will be glad to help you out

Well, how would you help someone who looks like this in the before pic who doesn't know how to work out, can go to the gym but doesn't have a trainer ?

It's always hard at the beginning! But the most important thing is that you have to be willing to put all the effort that is required to achieve your goals.

First thing you got to do is changing the way you live now. That means, if you want to grow you got to eat but you have to know what to eat. Let me put an example of an incredible good routine for begginers and some diets you should follow. If you have answers just ask me.
