Starting working out at 135lbs at 5'10" when I was 16 years old. Mainly just wandering around the gym but my technique was reasonable because some of my friends actually knew proper technique somehow. Go figure. Problem was I had no idea about diet and I think I secretly loved the "turn fat into muscle" idea so I really didn't care about my diet. Once I got a car and a part time job I started eating out much more and and all that and was able to put a lot of fat on. I continued lifting weights but didn't make very good gains considering sugar was probably my main dietary nutrient with trans fat in a not so distant second. After I hit 245lbs seeing pictures of myself and realising I weigh more than anyone else in my family hit me really hard. I tried to eat more healthy food and after 6 months of losing maybe 20lbs I hit it hard and went on a hardcore clean diet April 2004. Never looked back.
Why I Love It:
I won't stop until I'm huge and shredded. Bodybuilding is the means to get me there.
How I Stay Motivated:
Goal sheet and NLP. Do a search on "goal sheet" for more info. As far as long term... I'll die before I'd go back. ;)
BB Accomplishments:
Completely recovering from a three and a half year 110lb, dirty bulk. ;)
Lookin slick. Way better than you did at 245 thats for damn sure. Insane losses man. I'm so jealous how fast you did that. Must have some good will power. Any tips on fatloss for me? I'm not over weight but you lost a hell of alot of fat. I'd like to lose a few more.
Thank you, I just updated it last night. If I can achieve half of the abdominal definition the you have in the next 6 months I'll be happy. Not really looking to win it, just stay on top of my game. It should be fun.
I have it on "auto pilot" right now. I have gained a couple lbs, but I think my biggest concern is nutrition now. I have picked up a couple books to learn a little more. How many days you workout in a week ?
Thanks for the info
had the flu, so i couldnt each much, i was taking in 1000 cals a day, so i had a higher cal meal today, but my progress is just trekin along, have fun with mexico

Hey DJohnson,
I just wanted to say thinks for being and inspiration to many on this site including me. Over the last two years I have transformed from a very inactive life to a very active and healthy lifestyle change. I went from 280 to170 and just hit 9%bf. I have read MANY of your posts on the forum over the last two years and just wanted to say thanks...
How's it going these days bro? I let myself go over the summer with some loss of motivation, but I'm back at it harder than ever now. Good to see you around still. Keep it real.
