Overall Goal: Lose a lot of fat (about 115 lbs), hopefully by June 2010. Following that goal, I will next focus increasing my strength.
Fit Status:
Jogging in the rain was very cold, my jacket didn't keep the rain out, but it was ok. I'm doing better on cardio, but weights are lax.

When I Started:
How I Started:
I've always been out of shape. I wanted to be fit and strong, so I bought a book on weight training, another on dieting, as well as a multi-bench and some free wieghts.
Why I Love It:
Every little bit of progress I see in my physical development. Each time I look in the mirror and the fat is less prominent and the muscles are more evident. The days when I hit a new high in a lift. These thoughts and fairy dust could make me fly. Seriously though, each achievement is a victory that brings me pride.
I also like that light headed floaty feeling after a really good workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by looking at the Charts here on bodybuilding.com I love seeing the up slope as steep as possible on the weights lifted chart, and the down-slope on the weight chart.

Goal (Long):
I have always been heavy, even in my early childhood. About 5 years back I had my weight down to within about 40 pounds of ideal with a fair amount of strength built up. I let both slide and have recently restarted a fitness regimen of diet and exersize. My preference is more toward weight lifting. I find cardio boring and much more difficult to do, so that is the area I will have to work harder to improve.
What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
Balance in carbohydrates, proteins and fats. About 40%, 40%, and 20% of my daily calories respectively. Try to make each one high quality too. High fiber carbohydrates are better than sugar, and the fat from an avacado is better than bacon fat.Balance in carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
