I'm currently at 265lbs, and i need to get to 200!!!! HELP

[Stevie-G]

Like the topic says...

I currently have sat a year with no in the gym or really little cardio... I've gained 15 lbs in this year of bleh.. and i need a jumpstart to loose 65-80 lbs in 7-8 months. I want to go to the military, and like i said, i need to drop the weight.

Can someone give me a simple plan to jumpstart it with or without RIPPED system? I already picked it up, and i have been taking it, and last year i took Hydroxycut Hardcore and it helped me drop from 330, to 265, so i wanted to try something different, and picked up the RIPPED System. I have heard really good things about it, and i need to know the answer to some of the questions.

1. Should i take it to help?
2. Do i need a dietary supplement to go with it to speed up the process?
3. Being 265 lbs right now, and dropping the weight, will i have access skin?
4. Back to #3.. If so I'm still doing it!
5. Is this stuff worth taking for the 21 day masturbation period? :P
6. And hello guys, im a newcomer


All in all, i powerlifted in my youth for 7 different high schools, i was always natural. Weighting in at 330lbs benching 265-280 on a good day, and squating **** near 450. My Hammer weight was 325, strongest in one of the high schools, and my legs are freakin huge, but i want them to go down a little. Will this weightloss help?

Thanks guys! Hope for feedback

BTW - I'm 20, 265 lbs, 6'1 and yeah... Thanks!

I don't know what the ripped system is. But based on my experience, there is no magic pill. So my answer is no, you don't need dietary supplements at this point. If you want to loose crazy weight without depriving or starving yourself, the Atkins diet induction phase is your ticket. Think I'm kidding? Try checking out the keto section of the fat loss forum on bodybuilding.com and talk to some folks with real world experience. There are a few guys on there who went from around 300 lbs and are now ripped with a six pack. There is even one guy who went from 300 lbs to 165 lbs at 4% body fat in 3 years. That is amazingly fast! That's about an average of 45 lbs per year. I really don't recomend much more than that. Personally I lost about 40 lbs and it took several months. If you try to loose 65-80 lbs in 7-8 months it will be pushing it, probably unhealthy, and you will surely suffer the consequences. If you have to make a certain weight for the military then I suppose that is a good enough excuse and I can honestly say that should be the only exceptional one. And if you have to do it, it doesn't have to be all fat; you can make the weight for the scale by loosing water weight and glycogen weight.
But other than that excuse, I don't recommend that fast weight loss. Like I said, the rate I had mentioned above from the guys on bodybuilding.com was amazing and that is what I recommend. And those guys work their buts off with weights too! But keep in mind that your rate of fat loss will surely not be linear. What I mean is that it will be much faster at first and as you become leaner it will slow down. Think of it this way. For a disgustingly obese person it probably would be easy for them to loose 5 lbs per week. But with a person with only 20 lbs of fat on their body it just won't happen. The body knows when it has a lot of extra fat and when it doesn't. And when there is less fat to burn it will try a lot harder to keep it. I'll give myself for example. Starting at 226 lbs and 30% body fat, I lost an average of 2.7 lbs per week for the first several weeks. That eventually decreased. When I finally hit 15% body fat at about 185 lbs, which is pretty healthy, my body stopped responding. Ever since I have been trying to figure out what to do in order to progress even further. In the end I think it's going to require some extra hard work in the gym.
