"Muscle memory. I was 165 lbs with 8% bodyfat. After AWHILE out of the gym I'm back to 147 lbs (my standard weight) with 12.8% bf. Goal #1 is to get back to where I was. Why I've been out of the gym is my dirty little secret."
They had a gym at a camp I used to go to when I was a child. First started when I was 14. Fell in love with it and NEVER missed a workout. Wish I still had the same motivation.
Why I Love It:
The pump, the energy, the confidence and the sense of accomplishment.
How I Stay Motivated:
Wish I stayed motivated more than I do. What helps me most is to see results. Compliments are great but if I don't see it, it doesn't matter.
BB Accomplishments:
Learning to hit my chest properly and I had an 8-pack once (I want it back).

152lbs - 5lbs more than my norm
Back to square one. 147 lbs. 12.8 % bf. Will try and update at the first of each month in the same pose.
Muscle memory. I was 165 lbs with 8% bodyfat. After AWHILE out of the gym I'm back to 147 lbs (my standard weight) with 12.8% bf. Goal #1 is to get back to where I was. Why I've been out of the gym is my dirty little secret.
Goal (Long):
I want my shoulders to be wider than the dry cleaning hangers in my closet. On my ectomorph poster-child frame, 175 pounds with very little bodyfat should do the trick overall.
What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
Will be shooting for six meals a day for roughly a 40/40/20 split. I'll start with 2500 calories until I have to move up. Protein: whey shakes, chicken breasts, sliced turkey, lean steak, american cheese. Carbs: Whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes/yams, broccoli, carrots, apples, bananas. Fat: olive oil, peanuts, peanut butter. I HATE fish and can't take fish oils. I will also be drinking a gallon of water a day. Advice is welcomed.Will be shooting for six meals a day for roughly a 40/40/20 split. I'll start with 2500 calories until I have to move up.

What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
I've never had a real sweettooth. I also eat to live and not the other way around so it's a bit easier for me to skip dessert.

What are your secrets for making healthy food taste great?
Pepper, once I found out that salt is not necessarily your friend. Mmmm....salt....
