Yeah, you might have to work 10% harder than others at most.

Go out and run.

unless you have some kind of physical disadvantage then you're capable of getting in shape. And even then, this shit is cheesy but it makes a point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obdd31Q9PqA

+1000

When I have to drop weight (like right now), booze and carbs have to go

Also Ive noticed with increased exercise there seems to be less urge to drink in the first place. Probably a dopamine related thing.

Definitely. You ever tried to have a drink within 1-2 hours of a workout? I feel like shit for at least a day.

Beer has tons of sugar. Think of each glass of beer as a corner slice of a nasty grocery store birthday cake. Also, you eat more when you're drunk, and the day after. Cut back the booze to 2 glasses of red wine PER WEEK. So far it's working for me (with minimal change in diet and exercise).

Okay well Ive continued the same workout routine of moderate lifting and 45 minutes of cardio every other day. Its been 2 weeks. Last week I dropped from 188 to 183. As of yesterday I am back up to 189 for some goddamed reason but I look better and feel less flabby. I replaced the beer with vodka on the weekends, which actually has been nice.

Basically the only difference has been

1. no beer
2. no bread with breakfast
3. no bread with dinner
4. no carbs in the afternoon before dinner
5. way less carbs in general at dinner
6. protein around 3pm decreasing my dinner appetite
7. lifting a bit more weight but less often/ replaced with cardio
8. one more serving per day of fruit or vegetables sometime in the middle of the day
