When I Started:
Apr, 2007
How I Started:
I was fat as a kid, hated PE class, and even went to a fat camp once. After moving out (and coming out), I wanted to lose weight and so I wasted several years thinking the key to looking good was just to run on the treadmill and do Atkins. Eventually I realized that I was just becoming a smaller fat person, so I began to learn about bodybuilding, strength training, macronutrients (e.g. consuming massive amounts of protein) and anaerobic exercise (e.g. moving heavy iron).
Why I Love It:
The best part of a workout is when it's done! I like a good sauna/steam or jacuzzi afterward. Oh, and of course results are great.
How I Stay Motivated:
I read articles on bodybuilding.com, browse the forum, and look at BodySpace. I read the usual rags like M&F and Flex whenever I'm at the bookstore. Seeing a big guy at the club or whatever.
BB Accomplishments:
Losing a ton of weight, learning the labyrinth of supplements and training styles and physiology behind all of what we do (despite so damned much misinformation and myths out there).

My fitness goal is to lose 60lbs of fat, retain and gain muscle.
Goal (Long):
I have gained weight in the past few years since I last unhealthily lost over 120lbs, and so I would like to lose that again but in a healthier way. This time I am doing a lot more strength training and keeping my cardio to HIIT. I hope to branch out and learn to do all free weights, and see if I can do powerlifting-style lifts. I would also like to gain muscle, but my first big goals are about decreasing body fat to a healthy level.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 80 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
12%

I worked out pretty heavy on Friday, and then I started talking to a friend at the gym that I had chatted with before and he and I hashed out some stuff. I do want to work out for health reasons, but also for functional reasons, and even for aesthetic reasons. But I think I work better...
Welcome to BB.Com Brad! Thanks for stoping my my BodySpace. It sounds like you have learned a lot and are ready to make some big changes. Good luck with your goals my friend!
