Advanced Weight Loss

Most people here are trying to lose weight using advice and support from others, but very few here are professionals. This is an attempt to bring in the professionals. THINGS COULD GET NASTY!

My fitness program!

So, a new school year begins the increased need to lose weight!

I am a sophmore Uni student in Philadelphia, PA.

Here is my weekly schedule for fitness:

Monday, Weds, Friday - 30-35 min straight on elliptical trainer, burns roughly 4-430 Calories a time. If I miss a day, I make it up on the weekend. That's 1300 cals a week roughly.

Tuesday and Thursday, Weight Training class which is all about muscle building, strength, and endurance, with some cardio mixed in. 1 hour to 1:20. No idea about calories burned, but I'm always really sweaty and exhausted by the end. How many calories would you guys guess this burns?

Weekends - not so much.

Is this decent? I'm between 195 and 200. 6'2, and I'd like to get to 185 or so, without going on a crazy diet.

Combined with relatively better eating (but not a full diet), will this work in a reasonable amount of time? How about without changing eating habits?

Thanks!

Rather or not you will loose weight. Comes down to how many calories your consuming.
check out two of Leigh's many great write up here http://weight-loss.fitness.com/news-...art-1-3-a.html
http://weight-loss.fitness.com/nutri...ines-ever.html

I can't give you an acurate estimation as to how many calories your burning. thats dependent on a number of factors. Besides, I don't even know what exactly your doing in it.
Check out the basics lifts sticky for some more basic info on weight lifting.

I'd ditch the circuit training and start lifting heavier weights. As Trevor said, something "the basic lifts" stickie would do you very well.

Instead of worrying about weight training burning X amount of calories, let is serves it's more important purpose of maintaining your muscle.

Losing the weight will be a function of expending more energy than you consume. For some, simply cleaning up the diet will suffice along with some exercise.

For others, not so much.

Try it out and see where it takes ya. It's not like you're signing any contracts. After 2 weeks, if you aren't realizing the results you desire, come back and we'll take a more direct approach.
