How did you look after spending 3 months in the gym? Could someone please provide me with their pictures?
Here's a side to side comparison.So this was me.And then this is almost after 6 months of working out, cardio and counting calories .Now to give you an idea into my life. I have been working out for few years now but the first pic is when I came back after staying in Delhi for an year for preparation and there I didn't do gym at all and I ate anything and everything just to fill me up.When I came home I knew I don't want to look this way and I wanted to see how far I can push myself.All I did was hit my weight 4 times a week. Cardio 2 to 3 times and started counting calories.I have tried to answer most of the questions I got but still if you have any check this link for complete details:Ankit Mishra's answer to What is your great body transformation workout regime and diet?

How do I build my body up in five months without supplements?
Hi,Although many good people already have answered thsi question; however, I would still like to add my points to it. 5months is a decent time to pack on muscles (irrespective of what bodytype you have).Fix your diet- Take 1gm-1.5gms of proteins per pound of your body weight from lean protein sources like Chicken breasts, Fish, Egg whites. You don’t need to rely on supplements to get your proteins. Eat clean carbs like sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc. You can take healthy fats from Omega-3. Olive oil, Egg yolk(don’t consume them in large quantities; 1–2 yolks a day would be fine). And, not to mention, eat lots of salads and fruits (to add fiber in your body). Eat moderately, don’t eat to fill your tummy but to function properly. You may like to add caffeine (e.g. black coffee) before your workout for a better focus and fat-loss.Build a Solid training regime- Go for strength training 4–5 times a week and, do 15–20 min cardio post strength training. If you want to cut fat, try to have “active rest” days ie. on your rest days, you would be doing some physical activities outside your gym. Play any sport or jog.DRINK A GALLON OF WATER EACH DAY- Helps to detox your body.Sleep- 7–8 hours every night. (NO COMPROMISE HERE as your body will grow when you sleep.BE POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR PROGRESS ALWAYS!!Best,KP
I really need to lose 20 pounds in about a month please help it this can change my life?
The problem that see is definitely not your work ethic. It's your work out that you need to tweak. Start doing some push ups or lighting weights if you have access to some. Once your body starts putting on muscle the weight will start dropping pretty fast. Keep doing what you are doing as far as the running goes. If you want to join a fitness community that's free I'm putting the link below. It's sort of like a myspace for fitness though. It's full of great information from pro athlete and trainers. Good luck to you
How to get buff if your skinny in 5 months?
Go grab Men's Health magazine at the news stand. It has all sorts of "fast" workouts that can be done at home with minimal equipment. Also look for a book called The US Navy SEAL workout. It will put meat on your bones but it will all be lean high quality beef, and you will look amazing! Take a picture of yourself every two months wearing nothing but short legged gym shorts. That is how you will really "see" the gains. Good luck.
Is it possible to lose 50 pounds in a month and a half?
Please read all, many of the same Q because less than 1500 calories you body stores fat. try this: After an accident I was incapacitated for nearly a year and ate out of boredom, and as you could imagine I got obese, but I'm just 5 pounds more that my BMI should be. And the friend that told me about this was obese in high school and now still looks great 20+ years later. It's a combination of calories and shrinking your stomach naturally (what lap band surgery does.) 1500 calories makes you lose weight for some people less than 1500 makes their body go into starvation mode and so it stores fat. Once at your target weight 2000 maintains it there. It takes 2 weeks to naturally shrink your stomach, but ONE MEAL can stretch it out again. I was eating approximately 3 days worth of portions in one day back then, so since a "portion" is approximately the same size of a deck of playing cards. I started out just counting the first week how many "deck of card" size portions I ate. After a week I took my daily average and divided by 16 and began the process of shrinking my stomach before I even tried counting calories. From last bite to first I waited and hour eating every hour 1/16 of what I had been eating (I often ate only 14 times but at times I did eat all 16.) Instead of the 2 weeks I continued for 3 weeks to be sure I was filled up with that amount (8 meals), I then began to wait 2 hours last bite to first (4 to 6 meals per day.) During this time I began experimenting with cutting out saturated fats and hydrogenated oils. Then I then began counting my calories and reducing my meal size by 1 Tablespoon at each meal until I was only eating the 1500 calories. I couldn't walk so I held myself up on the counter to "dance" sort of just to move. I got to just 20 pounds over my BMI and finally was able to walk, I walk 4 blocks then 8 then 16. Once I could barely ride a bike I started riding and now ride at LEAST 1 mile 12 blocks 3 times a week and eat 2000 calories. I also walk 2 blocks every day, and I'm firming up muscles needed. Once my tone is back (they turned to mush when I was bed ridden and I need to build them back up) I will go back down to 1500 for the last pounds, also a resent set back had me down again, but I'm not out.
Why does my weight change daily?
What you described appears to be normal daily weight fluctuations for everyone, which can vary by as much as 5 to 6 pounds. There are many different factors which contribute to these weight fluctuations, such as water retention, changes in lean body mass, and glycogen storage. Keep in mind that those changes are normal and do not indicate the success or failure of your dieting. Compare your weigh-ins on a month-to-month basis and you'll probably get a more accurate picture of how much weight you have actually lost. I have been on my own weight loss regiment for about 3 months now and I have also noticed the daily weight fluctuations but I recognize my "true" weight when I have dropped some weight and consistently weigh in at that new weight in the morning. I have read that the best time to weigh accurately is in the morning. The following are some websites that deal with daily weight fluctuations: http://weightlossinternational.com/lose_pounds.html http://primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/scale.htm http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/21277.html Good luck with your diet and remember that the results that matter are the one you achieve in the long run. I have lost 15 pounds in those 3 months--slow progress, I know, but the results are real and permanent.
