I've been slacking on the log. Morning weights have been as follows:

193.8 lbs, 192.8 lbs, 191.0 lbs, and 191.4 lbs. Diet has been roughly the same - same snacks in the morning, eating out lunch, no dinner with snacks and either a malt or protein shake. Running output is higher now that it's warming up. Hoping to be 190 lbs by next Friday. I'll try to remember to log daily.

You have to do both, and you have to do them with discipline. I thought I could get by on reduced cardio but it just doesn't work. I do cardio seven days a week in addition to lifting 3-4 times a week.

The biggest single factor is how you eat though. You need it all, but the biggest thing is the diet
