Finally getting in shape. :) Posted on: 24.12.2011 by Royal Tallarico Hey folks. Its been a while. I've been incredibly busy and just wanted to give an update on where things have gone. New brand officially as DJ Zoomski is up and I'm getting my foot in at clubs now. But I saw myself and realized I didn't look the DJ part. I was 200lbs at 5'8" and unsightly. I had man boobs and looked 9 months pregnant. I decided enough was enough. I went from eating junk food, wings, and fast food every day to a clean, organic diet that is more than half vegan and otherwise containing fish and other lean meats/eggs. I'll modify it as I go and add supplements to eventually be mostly vegan, but I'm trying to at least be totally clean right now. No processed crap. No empty calories except for one beer/wine per week. Lots of water. Lots of.... EXERCISE. No life-changing weight loss is worth a damn without exercise. I'm doing Power 90 cuz I have no muscle to start from and P90X demands a base. Next round will be X with Insanity. I'm alternating cardio and sculpting 6 days per week and a rest/stretch day on the 7th. When I told everyone how much I had lost in the first 3 weeks, I kept hearing things like "You'll put it back on." or "That's too much weight too quickly". All from heavyset people with no clue, of course. They don't realize that not only am I exercising, but I'm cutting back to 1500 calories daily from like 3000 or more and eating clean. I lost 11lbs in 21 days. I'm back up 2 today (Day 24), but its not about the scale really. I'm building lots of lean muscle! My gut has shrunk 2.5" and my whole body has shrunk in size by an average of an inch. I am back in pants I haven't worn since high school. I was in 36s and am back in 33s. I was at one point debating XL tshirts to cover the gut. Now I'm close to wearing mediums again. Here are some before and afters, not to brag (cuz its subtle to this point), but to inspire others and hopefully help end the obesity problems in our world. Week 1 right, 3 left Week 1 right, 3 left Week 1 right, 3 left Week 1 left, 3 right Week 1 left, 3 right
Royal Tallarico 07.01.2012	Originally Posted by Lecko This thread has gave me a kick up the arse I needed! I've started a healthier eating regime this week (which is the hardest part for me!) I moved back home with my parents again about 4 months ago and have put on a stone in that time! I was already overweight anyway so now I need to shift about 3 stone! I start a military bootcamp style thing next week now which looks pretty hardcore! But I've done the whole gym thing before but I get bored and can never get motivated on my own, I need someone to shout at me! Wish me luck! Glad to hear! Military bootcamp? Pass. Eating healthy is definitely the hardest part. I need to start measuring myself in stone. That sounds much less degrading. Heh.
Royal Tallarico 07.01.2012	Originally Posted by Flash101uk Keep it up man, makes you feel great doesnt it? If I miss out on the gym for more than a few days I feel like crap. My concern with your diet is you are not getting enough calories to build muscle. Thats fine for the moment, your stripping the fat off. But for the amount of exercise youre doing you should be eating 3000 healthy calories daily. Heres an example of my new diet I'll be attempting this year: 7 am (pre-gym): - protein shake with oats, creatine and coffee 8am (post gym): - porridge, bannna, nuts 10 am:- 2 eggs 1 egg white 12pm:- big sandwich for lunch 1pm:- protein shake with oats 3pm:- three riveta, cottage cheese & chicken 5pm:- Veggie detox Shake 6-7pm:-evening meal (preferably low carb) 9pm:- protein shake This coincides with 5 days of heavy weight training and should hopefully see big changes in my muscle. I tried P90X, my housemates were doing it at the time, HARDCORE! I lasted about 10 mins before collapsing with a bunch of swearing and groaning. heh. Yea. I upped my intake to 1900 and plan to up it again as I switch slowly to muscle growth. I just wanted the fat off first. I don't follow any specific daily plan cuz my days are never the same, but I generally eat organic and add lots of grains and lean meats in. We do have a somewhat similar daily intake though. I do creatine, protein shake, eggs, and HFCS-free wheat toast in morning with my vitamins. Afternoons are generally veggies or Pure Protein bars cuz I am walking between classes or at the library doing research and need something quick and as mess-free as possible. Have a nice dinner and avoid frying if possible, but I am not overly worried about it once in a while if I use a healthy breading like flax and wheat germ or wheat breadcrumbs. I do plan to up my intake to 3000 calories a day when I start adding lots of muscle, but I'm in no rush. I'm liking seeing the smaller scale numbers.

Keep up this thread to inspire us lazy ass people get to it! Haha. I'll do my best. I keep so damn busy that I forget to update. Trying to balance P90X, DJing, and a double major is insane.

Royal Tallarico 28.01.2012	Keep it up brother, the myth that we have to get sedentary and fat as we age is bullshit, man. I was looking every bit of 40 and was getting sir'd my people twice my age. I really am looking my age (23) for the first time. Here's the latest pic. And my album of progress pics as well. Album
Hanna Ridenbaugh 28.01.2012	nice work! n good discipline, which i lack but very inspiring dude, just starting to exercise again myself.
Royal Tallarico 29.01.2012	A big update: Down to 175lbs and 20% body fat. Goal for 15% is 165lbs (12%=160, 8%=156). My gut is totally gone and I am lifting 3 days per week with cardio 3 days per week. Bought a pair of vibram's five fingers and plan to do some minimalist and barefoot running. I'm running my fastest mile since early high school now. Working towards 6 miles per day on foot and 15KM on the bike. Starting to see definition in my stomach and my face is really thinning out. I'll get some pics up asap. No one needs to be fat forever. You can change it. Just get active and eat right and the body resorts back to its natural state over time. Since April, I've lost 55lbs, 23lbs just since December. You can do it too.
Royal Tallarico 09.01.2012	I buy a new pair every season. I have more Pumas than the Puma store. Have multiple pairs of driving shoes, fire-resistant race shoes, running shoes, cross-trainers, sneakers, etc. Its a weakness. Heh.
Leeanna Ayla 09.01.2012	Buy new shoes every 300-400 miles to minimize injury.
Royal Tallarico 09.01.2012	Thanks! Just a little update: Arms are really looking good. Shoulders and chest looking more toned. Sides and stomach still not what I'd like to see, but its a marathon more than a race. My legs are insanely ripped. I do an hour of elliptical and lots of running now so I expect that. But, my calves are rock solid, and my hips and ass are getting compliments. Not often the dude gets his ass checked out by the girls, but no qualms here. Face is getting thinner and more chiseled. Growing a nice little beard for a while to compliment it cuz I hate being clean-shaven. Neck is thinner. Bought a nice new pair of running shoes. Puma Faas 250s. So light and breathable. Not great for winter running due to how little insulation there is, but great for indoor running at the rec center. Starting to build my endurance for the spring race season. Can't wait to hit the 5K stuff.
Belle Tufnell 09.01.2012	Props man!
Royal Tallarico 09.01.2012	I drink syntha-6, which contains tons of diff proteins like casein, whey, soy, milk, albumen egg, etc. Its dollar for dollar the better product, but it costs a bit more.
Leeanna Ayla 08.01.2012	One thing to believe about with protein drinks is the kind of protein. Usually immediately after a workout I'll drink Whey protein, but if I'm having a drink with a meal or it's acting as a sort of meal supplement I'll drink Casein protein. The Casein takes longer to break down and last a little longer in my belly.

Brinda Tidrick 29.12.2011	Fair pay mate. Pretty keen to get back on it ASAP. Been real lazy over the last couple of years... as other people have said, goes to show if you put the effort in, the gains are big.
Laraine Arceo 30.12.2011	gj man! Just don't end up like one of those guys who post after pics of themselves all oiled up and tanned wearing creepy smiles and sunglasses
Tesha Freudenstein 30.12.2011	good job man. keep it up. making progress when working out is an awesome feeling and also really builds confidence.
Royal Tallarico 27.12.2011	Heh. Glad I could help. Down officially into size 33 jeans today. And they are comfy as well. Legs and arms are getting toned. Bought some weights to do it hardcore cuz resistance bands are a bit awkward.
Rosita Bourdeaux 27.12.2011	Oh god thanks allot bro. I was in the middle of scarfing down a plate of tamles while reading this............ Now the guilt kicks in
Royal Tallarico 26.12.2011	snort Thanks! I've set my sights no lower than the sorority girls. Used to bag them. Can do it again.
Neva Sparacino 26.12.2011	Go for those b!tches man GOOD JOBjajaja
Royal Tallarico 26.12.2011	New video is up of how I went from athletic to fat in the first place in pictures. Yuck, but it will be great once I finish and can see a huge difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGq6Gjc9nDU
Royal Tallarico 26.12.2011	Woke up today noticeably thinner and with more energy. Ended up doing 45 minutes on the treadmill on top of my normal workout and went harder than I have ever went before and still had trouble getting my heart rate to the burn zone or even breaking a sweat. Craziness.
Royal Tallarico 25.12.2011	Video up to day 21 is now online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwPF7d13vXU
Royal Tallarico 25.12.2011	Haha. Thanks man. I was skinny fat (145lbs) for years then the metabolism quit. :/ Shot up to 230lbs. Gave up pop and dropped 30 in just over 6 months with no other changes. Now I'm kickin it in the ass and changing my life. I want to be the dad someday that mine couldn't due to his weight and health. But yea, that is 3 weeks. I can't wait to see what I look like at the end of 90 days. Its never too late to change your lifestyle bro. My buddy's mom just turned 50 and is competing with me for most body fat percentage lost. Haha.
Romelia Stankard 25.12.2011	Damn dude that's awesome. You did that in 3 weeks? that's nuts. I eat like shit and don't work out then wonder why I'm skinny-fat. I should probably do something about that.
Royal Tallarico 25.12.2011	Originally Posted by photojojo That is absolutely key!! Great job!! Thanks! It took me about a week before I fully committed to it, but the switch has been a lot less annoying than I anticipated. I keep from snacking by eating smaller meals and spreading them throughout the day and drinking boatloads of water. I am beyond pleased. Just wish the stomach would shrink quicker, but nothing worth having is easy, health included.
Royal Tallarico 25.12.2011	Originally Posted by the4thImpulse Great job, keep it up! It goes to show that when you put real effort into weightloss it will actually work! Thanks! I put in a huge effort today to ward off the food I might eat. I ended up eating healthy today despite two different dinners with friends/family and just made that workout all the more rewarding. Hoping to do the same tomorrow before more gigantic meals await. Haha
Leeanna Ayla 24.12.2011	Originally Posted by DJ Zoomski They don't realize that not only am I exercising, but I'm cutting back to 1500 calories daily from like 3000 or more and eating clean. That is absolutely key!! Great job!!
