The Weight Loss Thread

yeah I really need to get back on the ol' weight loss train. After I lost the 90 pounds I got so used to my metabolism doing all the work for me that I stopped eating right and working out, and it took 4 years but I've put on like 35 pounds since
If you've done it once, I know you can do it again. When you told me how much had been at your heaviest and how much you lost, I was surprised. You def' can do it.
 
I talked about the trail that I do, just got back from 2 loops. 4.4 miles over rough uphill incline- here are some pics: http://imgur.com/a/CFbU9#kn5NT

Anyways, any advice on building up lactic acid tolerance in the muscles?

That place looks amazing, I wouldn't mind running that! Also for lactic acid tolerance I don't know too much of anything for it except for getting stronger and more durable, or know someone who's on the magic school bus.

A recovery drink afterwards really helps though when too much is built up and your body tries to shut down. Not trying to advertise or anything, but if you can get a hold of the p90x recovery drink that stuff works wonders. It's like Goku eating a sensu bean, you feel as if you where never really working out. If you can't get a recovery drink, a substitute would be a mixer of protein, nutrients, electrolytes, and carbs in a liquid mixture having a 80/20 carb protein ratio (4g carbs for every 1g of protein). Depending on your tastes you can do different variations of this. What I do is mix 1/2 vanilla protein power in a 8ounce glass of grape juice and about 3 ounces of water. If I'm cycling in creatine I will add 1 scoop of creatine with 2/3's protein powder in a 16 ounce bottle (50/50 water and grape juice). If you can get a hold of this and don't mind spending an extra buck or so, shop your local grocery store for this (I found mine in walmart):

Those have everything you need to recover after a workout (Vitamins, Carbs, and Protein) minus the electrolytes, but drinking a small amount of gatorade or powerade will help with that. Hope this helps.
 
I was without my stuff for my shakes these like 4 days, and I did other things to make up for it, but I finally went and got'em. I almost have a weird sense of relief. LOL
 
Slight update, down another 2lbs; and checked my BP: was 140/110 2 months ago, now its down to 118/87. Still a little high, but a vast improvement.
