Hi i'm new =D
umm just had a question if anyone could field it for me.
I weigh 175pounds, 6foot 1 inch high 25 years old, male. I have small love handles, a gut and small man-boobs..
My calorie needs are roughly 2400-2900 per day (depends where you read)
I excercise roughly 1000 calories per day (12km bike ride, 6 km FAST walking)
and my daily calorie consumption is around 1200 (all healthy food, i don't starve my self)

Basically with such a high calorie defecit...I don't seem to be losing any weight, or looking any slimmer for that matter. I have only been doing this for just over a week, (i know it's not long), but how long should this routine take to show some results? at this rate i have a defecit of 14000 calories per week, theoretically reducing my weight by four pound per week....any help would be great

6'1 and 175 lbs? Man...you couldnt have much Fat on your body to lose. You should probbly just be looking at Strength Training to tone yourself up. My guess is that you probably have a low bodyfat percantage as it is.
