Personal progress thread. Gym starts tomorrow.

This is me currently. I have lost 40 lbs since november of last year, going from 195 and probably 25+% bodyfat then to my current weight of 155 (unsure what my BF% is now). I ate 1300 clean calories everyday and biked 30 minutes on a stationary bike I bought to drop the weight. I am now on a personal quest to put on 20+ lbs of lean muscle in the next 8 months.

I have been building a base using just a pair of 40 lb dumbbells and a bench and working out intensely for the past month. I reduced my cardio to only twice a week and I'm now eating an additional 1500 calories a day. I know I'm not much to look at right now but I'll keep this thing updated to show my progress. Big weights start tomorrow! thanks everyone

Thanks, I'm sure I can hit them too. I used to lift in college and maxed out around 185 lbs, then I got in a car accident and didn't lift at all for 4 years. That's when I blew up to 195 lbs and was pretty much all fat and no muscle.

The muscle feels like it's coming back so quickly now that I've lost all my fat weight again and started from scratch. I love the bodybuilding journey so much, I can't believe it took me this long to stop being an unhealthy fatass and start working myself again.
