I was a long distance runner in High School, but didn't start weight training until college. I got to my ideal size and weight, but then the real world, a job, and life in general changed things.
Why I Love It:
I love the high from working out. I love the feeling of exhuastion after a workout...it is fulfilling. I love to watch my waist shrink and my shoulder, legs, and arms grow. I also like the increased energy levels and general healthy feeling that comes along with a steady workout routine.
How I Stay Motivated:
This website definitely helps, knowing other people struggle and succeed also. I have started taking pictures to see my progress since it is hard to tell sometimes when you see yourself in the mirror every day.
BB Accomplishments:
So far...55 lbs of FAT lost, but a lot more to lose.
Forum Signature:
Starting Weight: 255 lbs
Goal Weight: 175 lbs
Current Weight: 199 lbs
Thanks to stevep78 and www.fitnesspoynters.com...these stats will be getting even better!
A long way to go...but with hard work, dedication, and faith you can achieve anything.

What txtechguy Is Up To:
Dec 1, 2009
txtechguyupdated Fit Status "Off to a solid start this week. Legs and abs today my arch enemy. Time to get pumped. "
After 2 months off, I am back on to get rid of this body fat and see the muscle that is underneath. When I get there, time to bulk.
Goal (Long):
I want to have a body that people admire. In the office/executive world I see guys (including myself) that are overweight and stressed out. They say "I don't have time to workout." I am trying to make a change. I make time to workout and want people to look at me as a role model. I want to lose all of the fat I have and have a body fat around 7-9%, I want to be muscled up and in good physical shape.
I completely respect Josh and find him to be an excellent example of how I should live me life. He eats cleanly, watches what he puts into his body, and trains consistently.
Week 4 already. Wow. I started out this week positively. I had expected to gain a large amount of weight due to the holidAy, but it appears that I gained less than two pounds. A small victory in my eyes.
My workout today felt GREAT. I was dripping sweat and the NO Shotgun really had me...
Yeah my diet hasn't been very good of late, been working hard in the gym but it means nothing if I don't sort out my diet. Doing weights at lunch time and then doing some cardio tonight!! Need to get my fitness up.

thanks i appreciate it! yup im back in germany and doing a lot better than i thought with keeping up on the workout routine and eating healthy. how is life with you?
Thanks for the blog comment. I'll send you my # so you can let me know when you are going to be working out and maybe my schedule will work out so I can be at the gym at the same time. The gym is in the same building as my office, so it should work.
