Overall Goal: Stop being such a scale slave and just keep eating good and lifting good. I hope to be able to walk outside in a tank top in summer 2010. Is that too much to ask for?
Fit Status:
todays hit list: chest/tri/shoulders/ 15 min HIIT cardio/ 400 ob crunches/ 10 planks hold for 20sec.
I got Terrel Owen's " Finding Fitness and it has sparked me to restart and not stop on my quest. I also read Muscle and Fitness and that has helped a lot. I'm the off and on diet guy. I have been on this journey for long time. I hope that this is the final go towards a new me. I have been fat since age 11. I was a fat pre-teen, fat teen, and now fat adult.
This is what I do or did:
Until I started Tabata I did cardio after weight trainning to help drop body fat. I also trained each muscle group twice a week. I read that doing this ramps matabolism to burn fat. You need recovery but I did high reps with moderate weight. 3 sets of 12 most of the time. I also changed my diet big time. I eat lean meats, fruit, veggies, and slow digesting carbs most of the day. I eat fast digesting zero fat zero fiber carbs with whey post workout only.
Why I Love It:
I like the feel of the "pump". I also like seeing results.
How I Stay Motivated:
I think of how bad my body looks, and how out of shape I am. I must keep pushing to stay away from my old self of not finishing my fitness goals.
BB Accomplishments:
Dropping 120 lbs in 7 months with good eating and working out.
Forum Signature:
Success is not just measured by the position you reach in life, but the obstacles you overcome to get there.

Me in 2005. I don't know what my weight was in this pic. I think I started and failed another diet shortly after. Look, I'm sitting on my butt playing xbox. This is part of the reason why I got so heavy in the first place. My shirt won't even stay down in the back.
I still have lots of nasty belly fat. I've came a long way, and I have that much further to go.

Goal (Long):
Feel better physically, and be healthier so I can live a long time.
This guy hits the gym like clock work. When I get ready to hit my ab work-out I know that kizmvp is hitting it hard. You have to check out his bodyspace.
It's funny that at age 32 I'm in better shape than I was at age 22. So much for getting older and feeling old. I can't wait to see how I will look and feel at age 33. I have a work-out planned for tonight and I will still hit it. So much has changed for the best since last year. ...
Hey Bro keep up your hard work, it never easy to do what you have done already, stay the course if you need any help let me know. Ill will tell you what I know.

Thanks, I'm gonna start Thursday with a productive, all out, biggest loser last chance type sweat inducing workout and then finish it up with turkey, dressing and the oh so lovely CAKES AND PIES, LMAO. But hey, its just one day and will get back on the grind on Friday. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
