I've been browsing /fit/ for a while now, but I never got myself around to post anything. So I'm a 5'7 (manlet..i know..)dating a 5'7 gal and I have been trying to help her and myself go to the gym to lose weight. I'm pretty overweight myself a bit, but she is heavier than I am. We have been going to the gym for about 3 weeks now, at least 4 days per week...I'm around 90 kg and she's around 10 more kg than I am. we have been starting with cardio with me running 5 miles and she going on elliptical for 3 miles and we finish both about the same time around 40 min. How should we go about losing weight and start accelerating our weightloss and muscle building?
Ps. Do you think either of us are salvagable in becoming 'mirin body?

1. Read the sticky.
2. Don't put on your back the journey of your gf. For now just think about yourself. If she doesn't have the willpower she will definetly drag you down.
3. Weight your food and keep track of every single calorie you eat. No, it won't work if you don't. This site is useful http://cronometer.com/
4. Cut all sugars from your diet.
5. No processed food. Period
6. Eat more protein.
7. Cardio is useful but not mandatory at all.
8. Starting Strenght for 3 to 5 months. Lift weights against gravity you faggot.
9. Read the sticky.
Pics of current body my man.

Sorry, I'm not trying to brag post. Apologies if it came across that way.
>>39869686
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely use the site.
So weight training is preferable to build up the basis to get fit/healthy than cardio?
>>39869695
Here's the one I just took. sorry for the bad quality.
>>39869865
It entierly depends on that you define as "fit/healthy".
>>39869878
Not necessarily to the degree of olympian 'mirin state; but to the most optimal as one's body can function, and to look good...?
>>39869865
Don't listen to him. Cardio is 100% mandatory. It helps your body deliver blood to your muscles. It helps make your heart stronger and healthier.
YOu are fat and it will help you cut. Even when you are bulking, cardio helps change body comp (the % of fat/muscle) you gain.
This is why every single bodybuilder with a noteable physique does cardio, and every single idiot that roids to look ottormode (cough cough Zyzz cough) avoids cardio, uses clen and dnp to cut, and dies in a sanua.

As I explained cardio not only improves how you look, it imroves how healthy you are.
There is zero, zero reason not to do it.
Guys that don't do cardio by and large look like shit. Even if they look good, they'd look better had they just done cardio.

So, doing cardio even for a little bit like 3 miles would be necessary to get healthy?
And it wouldn't interfere with my muscle gains right? or is that more nutritionally dependent?

Cardio isn't necessary?
>>39869678
This is how low r9k have taken /fit/ having a girlfriend is now considered bragging.
>>39869686
50% of that advice is either wrong or highly debatable.
>>39870240
go for it tiger
>>39869934
I'm guessing you replace the calories you've burnt during cardio, right? When bulking that is.
