I've got a lot of food knowledge. I will post stuff, hopefully during the weekend. Give me an idea of what you want to know.

I'll go in depth once Chruser gets the section set up, basically I'm 38% BF, and need to be around 15%

15% is probably an unreasonable goal right now. Shoot for 20%, you can do it if you put your ass into it.

15% is my long-term goal, 20% wouldn't be a bad midway checkpoint though.

i've dropped from 30% down to 11 % in 9 weeks. although i completely dropped back on carbs, only eating them before and directly after my workout. and also stay away from starch based carbs. and also another big factor in losing weight is when you eat and how much you eat, eating smaller meals more frequently supports weight loss and lowers the amount of fat stored after digestion. instead of eating 3 big meals a day i'd say switch anywhere to 5-6 small meals based around 2 1/2 - 3 hours apart.

and also, if youre aiming to drop body weight, concentrate more on cardio than anything else. i did nothing but jog-run for 1+ hours a day everyday and i lost weight pretty quickly

I need to get an iPod or something, running on the eliptical for 30 minutes is so hard when you got some shitty music playing.

Be careful. That's a loss of 2% BF per week. 1% a week is usually the given max for healthy fat loss (barring obese people)

Kazilla, your goal should be to lose 1-2 pounds of body fat per week. More than that is unhealthy and tends to jump back on if your diet changes.

true but i just wanted to rush it. i was also scared i'd end up with flabby skin but it didnt happen which was good. i'm looking forward to this forum being up :)

In the meantime, feel free to make an awesome set of 40x40 px and 80x80 px icons for the Health and Fitness forum (and possibly its subforums).

I have set up a makeshift (yet fully functional) forum for now. I'll deal with icons and possible sub-forums once I return from school in a few hours:

sweet thanks a bunch. i'll try and work on them now

Chruser you are awesome. I am working on a few drafts for basic information and general ideas that can be implemented into the forums.
