Overall Goal: Time to bulk. Goal is 200lbs by December 2009. I'm at 182lbs right now. I've been running a very low cal, low carb diet for such a long time. With a bulking diet now my body is just soaking up the calories and packing on the weight.

When I Started:
Jul, 2007
How I Started:
I just started. I was not the person I wanted to be on a physical level, my health was the worst it had ever been. I stumbled across bodyspace when I was shopping for some supplements on bodybuilding.com and that was all it took to realize that the tools and support I needed were right here in front of me.
Why I Love It:
I'm able to acheive anything I want asthetically through the education and motivational tools available on bodybuilding.com. The results I see in the mirror and feel internally are really more than I can describe in words.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated primarly by continuing to set and acheive new goals.
BB Accomplishments:
Transforming my body from morbidly obese to a high level of fitness. Hopefully soon I can add a competition win to the list.

Goal (Long):
I've completed phase 1 of my transformation thanks to bodybuilding.com and bodyspace. Truly a one stop shop for your motivational and supplement needs. Now its time to complete phase 2 of my transformation. Goal now is to pack on muscle. I'd like to be 200lbs by December with an utlimate goal of 210-230lbs. I'll have to see what my body responds to and make adjustments as I go.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 30 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
Upcoming Contest:
2010 Bodyspace Spokesmodel contest

Blend protein of both fast and slow digestion so that I stay anabolic for longer periods of time. I will take a fast digesting whey protein immediately after training then a slow digesting 30 minutes after the whey protein shake as well as right before bed. I try to get 300 grams a day.

Which type do you think is best and why?
Depends. Whey right after training but a blend any other time especially before bed. Whey protein does nothing for you during sleep becuase after it digests (approx 30 min) you become catabolic.

What type of person at your gym annoys you the most? Why?
Guys that think they are strong but aren't. Grunters, weight slammers and meat marketers.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I dont like grunters, usually means they are overcompensating for weakness. No
I'm finally past all of the events, pictures, competitions etc in which I needed to maintain a low bodyfat conditioned physique. Time now to put on some mass. My body was so deprived due to the conditioning I was holding for the amount of time I was holding it for. This was apparent when I...
Nick, Thank you so much for the help you gave me along the way! People like you who put so much effort into their research rub off onto people like me who feel lost at times. I realized over time that I really had to learn how the body reacts to different kinds of foods and such in order to realize the manipulation of fat processing. Thanks for your support and being such an inspiration! Glad to see you still come on here now and then :) How's bulking?
Yeah, I've been upping my carbs for a week now (I'm on vacation) but I haven't notice much extra fat on my belly. Think my body's trying to get calories.
What's Ezekiel bread? ;-]
On with the race to 200 lbs!!
Yeah, I've never thought I'd want to take in that much protein, but I'm thinking I need to.
40 grams of fat? I assume that's good fat only, right? That's only about 4 tablespoons of olive/flax see oil, so I can see it.
I'm going to start monitoring my calories. I think I need at least 3000 daily. Think I've been falling short.
Good luck to you, man. And thanks for the update!
