LOL...
I went down from my heaviest 226lb to 157lb over eighteen months and that was through dieting, doing a physical job and piles of CV work, then I hit the snag eighteen months ago when I came back to Uni.
No more physical job, five a side or regular CV work, plus more sitting down and drinking...
And I stuck on between 147lb and 152lb...
Which is where I've been forever, really stuck.
Like I said before, tried mainly CV and Dieting over the last year...
One question about the routine though.
How many sets are we meant to be doing with this routine?

I just say I'm loving this eathing 1800 calories thing!
Those extra 400 make all the difference...
When I'm "maintaining" its so easy and fun!
Just to go back to a previous question, what do you recommend for CV sessions?

I'm on 1900 cals at the moment, I feel like I've eaten tonnes of stuff already today and still have loads left to eat! It's amazing how much food you can eat for the cals when you have cut out all the junk.
I'll be increasing my calories over the next few weeks but I'm not sure yet how I'm going to be able to eat that much food!

If you ask me the point of cardio is about exercising the heart and lungs, so it doesn't matter what you do as long as you are getting the intensity right. Therefore I would say you want to be doing whatever you like doing the best... no point sticking swimming in your routine if you hate it for example or it will be too easy to give it a miss! If you like lots of different things then mix them up a bit.

It's just occurred to me that you actually meant recommendations for time/intensity. Duh.
These will depend on what you hope to achieve I would think. If you want to be able to run marathons then you'll need to train differently to if you want to play squash, for example.
If you let us know what your goals are for the cardio (or what you want to get out of it) then hopefully someone will be able to advise on the best way for you train.

Had 1600 today and feeling pretty full... this is great...
My overall long term goal is the run a marathon...
Short term I'm looking to improve my 10k and half marathon times...
