Weight lifting (the old Titan Training program) 4days/week, and a intermittent fasting regime consisting of LeanGains on training days (www.leangains.com), and Brad Pilons EatStopEat on rest days ( www.eatstopeat.com )
what is the target heart rate for a cardio workout?
I prefer walking to running because it jars my joints less and I tend to pull fewer muscles. When I walk, I walk as fast as I possibley can and I'm hitting 14 minute miles for at least three miles. Granted it isn't a triathalon, but I feel like I am getting some cardio benefit from the activity and I certainly break a heavy sweat while walking.
Blackbird- what form/discipline of martial arts do you practice?

Since July 20, I've lost 11 pounds.
Here's what I've been doing, plus walking:

With this diet I don't feel hungry all the time, so it's been very easy to stay on. I figure losing a little over a pound a week is a good result. There are studies that show that a faster weight loss goes back on more quickly.
My doctor is very happy with the 1.4 drop in my hemoglobin A1C.
I turn 48 in October, I work on my feet for 12 to 14 hours a day, back in January i was introduce to Crossfit and a modified Paleo diet. Ive always been athletic and competitive by nature, Crossfit satisfies the competitive side of my personality at the same time being able to slowly scale down their workouts until you are up to speed. Ive lost 20lbs since January and feel better mentally and physically than i have since i was in my 20's...Life changer!
BTW: CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program.

You can count on it, brother. As long as "soon" is around March.Damn Hans I'll need a pair of rubber diapeers to sleep in those caves lol.... Hey any chance ur gonna be in the NYC area soon?
So I've been at if for about 6 weeks now. First I started walking, then walking faster, then walking longer, then started alternating between jogging and walking. I do upper body workouts mostly just using my own body weight. i.e. pull ups, sit ups, push ups, etc. I've also cleaned up my diet and cut down on alcohol consumption. I've only lost 7.5lbs (yes I am counting that half pound too), but I've gone down two belt notches and I've gained some muscle mass in my upper body and legs. The Experience was a big set back for me (two beer trucks, what's a fella to do?) but I'm back in the saddle now and feeling good.
