The Dont Feed Mustang Matt Thread!!!

[mustangmatt]

well i am going on a diet. I am way overweight. Before the "hot parts runner" days i was running 20 miles a week and weighed 190 now I am just about 240 again. Anyone have good weight loss suggestions or meals that actually taste good that wont make me fat!

maybe quit:drink: would be a good start!

[BeakerLuv22]

Well, definately start working out again. That always helps. Don't go out to eat for lunch, eat good stuff like salads. Eat breakfast. Hey there is always the Subway diet. You could lose weight just likie Jared. hehehe

[mustangmatt]

i dont think my wallet can support the jared diet right now:( maybe i should go on the hobo diet! wouldnt cost very much!:grin:

Hey Matt, check out

www.sshe.com

Its not exactly cheap, but its very convinient, and has provent itself very effective. Lots of diabetic patients use it.

My two cents worth....everything in moderation. Watch what you eat, portion sizes are the key. Exercise, even if its just taking a walk. Use the stairs rather than an elevator or escalator. People are way too lazy. :grin: Bring your lunch rather than going out, carry carrots, apples, etc. Watch the pop and alcohol, very high in calories. Again, just my opinion, but when you try to eliminate food items that sometimes doesn't work. It has to be a lifestyle change, not diet for a few weeks and then when you go off it people tend to gain the weight back. I'm no expert but I hate diets! Thats why I run..... :grin:

lol i have one of those 2 stores down from me! yeah I think that it would work great but just need some extra cash for that. I ate a .99 side salad with light dressing so I guess its a start. Casey I havent talked to you in forever since rockfalls some years back. How are things going?:)

[NaughtyMama]

make sure you eat breakfast....it is the most important meal of the day....it sets the tone for the rest of the day. And no not pop tarts or McDonalds.

[Sweet35th]

We talked at Rock Falls?? Im so horrible with names, I only recognize faces. What did we talk about? Was I there in my stang?

[Blackcoog]

Hey I like pop tarts!

[NaughtyMama]

no pop tarts especially since you are getting married and need to get your girlish figure in check:chacha:

[BeakerLuv22]

Yes, hun you do need your girlish figure back for the wedding. Hehehehe

[Blackcoog]

Hey I'm pretty buff since we started working out. Brandie is getting pissed because I'm looking so good and we just started working out two weeks ago. :grin:

[BeakerLuv22]

I am only pissed because he brags about it all the time.....

yeah it was like 3 years ago when you first got your car and put your supercharger on it...You had 2 girls with you. Yah you were really cool and gave me some good tips!

[Sweet35th]

What kind of car did you have at the time? Were you with that guy that had the red fox body with the aftermarket hood?

[mustangmatt]

Yup that was me! Sheesh you sure did know your **** back then! You still have that car I presume. Have you done anything else to it yet?

[NaughtyMama]

I gave you the cheesecake at the meeting...you looked famished. I couldn't possibly have let one of my members go without. Your eyes were sunken in and your belly was concave!

[mustangmatt]

LOL IS THAT WHAT I LOOKED LIKE! :D it was very good by the way thank you. You DID say DONT FEED HIM!

[Sweet35th]

Back then??? Like I forgot alot of stuff??? :)

Havnt done much to my car, just a few touch ups here and there, its making about 50rwhp more than it was then.

[mustangmatt]

casey you have a pm.

[mustangmatt]

UPDATE!

Ok I bought an exercise device, one that i ACTUALLY have been using.

I bought....













DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!!!! I was telling erica and randy(see I remember now!) about it. Good god That is fun. I should post some pics of me playing it, it would probably be a good laugh for you all.:thup:

FOOD:
1. Eat a few small meals a day. If you are hungry, have a snack like some fruit or a granola bar. Don't just wait until it's mealtime because then you'll over eat. Remember to eat a variety of foods. The same goes for the opposite though...if you're not hungry when it's usually lunch time or supper time, don't eat just then. Eat when you're hungry.
2. Don't cut all of your carbs. Stay away from white breads, muffins, etc. They are simple carbs and not that great for you. Remember that alot of fruits and vegetables (including potatoes) also have carbs in them, but they're good carbs (complex carbohydrates). Pasta is a really good carb that does your body good and it doesn't have alot of crap in it like breads. Have a little pasta with some veggies and chicken. yum yum! I have a recipie for orange chicken if you want it. It's really easy to make and you can make it with fat free stuff.
3. If you plan on working out (which I hope you do), remember to include a significant amount of protien in your diet. Focus more on chicken and fish, while having red meat maybe 1-2 times per week, if that. Eggs are also a good source of protien--try egg whites and exclude the yolks (they have alot of cholesterol in them). Hard boiled eggs are a good way to eat egg whites.
4. Dont habit-eat. Some people automatically have to have something to eat when they watch tv, read, etc...if you find yourself doing that, STOP! Eat when you NEED to.

EXERCISE:
1. Start out slow...don't jump into it or you'll get sick of it and quit early.
2. Vary your workout. I.e. don't try to make yourself max out on weights every time or run a couple miles at a time. Get your butt to the gym and get a personal trainer if you can. They'll develop a good plan. If you can't get a trainer, go with something like this:
~stretch~ (calves, quads, hamstrings, shoulders, abs, sides, pecs, etc)
15-20 minutes of cardio, like running or elliptical machine
(3) sets of 10 crunches; (3) sets of 10 push-ups
Lift weights--work on biceps, triceps, pecs, trapezius (look up weight lifting exercies on the net or something)
10-20 more minutes of cardio (running, elliptical machine)

Swim if you can...it's a great cardio work out and it feels great

Exercising will also promote sleep and (oddly) make you crave healthier foods...when I'm done exercising, I always feel like an apple or something like that. And it's ok to do that...have a little healthy snack and alot of water after you exercise to replenish a bit of energy.
Hope all of this helps.
HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!!!

Heidi, when I win the powerball you can be my personal trainer. Until then I cannot afford one and must take your free advice instead. It is very good! :rockit:
