So I have already made a change to diet I posted above. After some investigation on carb sources and tweaking my diet to meet my true goals which is to lose fat!! I have taken out the milk and have added cottage cheese for my my mid afternoon meal. This will take out the sugar carbs and up the...

Nice I definitely will. I started a workout log on the forum last night to chart the progress. Stay tuned

Here are a couple current pics as of today April 18, 2008 Putting these out on the world wide web will definitely motivate me to transform my body. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/johnstonvt/IMG_0326.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/johnstonvt/IMG_0322.jpg

Nice work!! And I was all happy about hitting my own PR on deadlift of 215 this week!!! haha, gotta start somewhere I guess. Keep it up.

Alright I decided to start a log of my progress. I have a long story posted in the diet section about how I got to where I am and what my current diet will be. Short story is this 2 years ago I was close to 280 lbs and now I'm at 179. I still have a quite a bit of fat around the middle. I will...

Nice start. I look forward to see your progress. I am in a similar boat with a goal of losing my gut and getting stronger and I started a 3X5 two weeks ago. I think I am going to start my own journal as I think it adds some accountability and its fun to share your success with the forum. Keep it up.

That greek yogurt is pretty good. I get some stuff made by a similar company called FAGE. Tastes kind of like sour cream. Good on some raw veggies like a dip.

Keasby, Thanks for the kind words. I'm thinking of starting a log on the forum to chart my training progress to keep up the motivation. It's 5:15AM and time to hit the gym.

So here is the history for background. 28 year old male 180 lbs 5'8" BF% - no clue, more on this in a second Ive always been a fatty. Weighed 280 lbs of pure fat while in college. Long story short got serious about my health and dropped the fat and added decent strength and muscle. (not real...

Personally I love the stuff but I found I have to avoid it when it cutting. Its one of my craving trigger foods. If I start eating it, before I know it the jar is gone. Like others have said you have to be careful with it b/c it is high calorie and dense. I bought a jar yesterday to have a...

Thanks for the replys everyone. The encouragement is great. "Just buck up and do it" Sometimes you just need to hear that. I'm now pumped up to go fix a clean meal and push on. Thanks..

I've been on here a few weeks now I think, but havent posted anything until now. A brief history. I've always been a bit overwieght (ok...obese) I'm a 5'8" male and at my biggest I was 285lbs...all fat. About 14 months ago I was around 262 and decided I was going to change my eating habits and...
