Workout Here We Go!!!

Making gradual changes to your diet is much easier than cold turkey changes. Allowing for a cheat day is ok, but you need to plan for moderation and not extremes. So, if you want to eat make sure you're just conscious of what it is you're eating.
Also, try adjusting your times you eat. I made a conscious decision to eat dinner around 5:30-6, but no later. I go to bed at 11. This keeps a meal from sitting too long in your belly overnight.
One more thing, instead of weight goals, you may want to look at them as body fat goals. Muscle weight isn't a bad thing, so don't try to fight the scale about it
When I was trying to really work out hard and build muscle, I was drinking 2g of water per day, consuming 325g of protein per day, and very specific about measuring my food. Now, I drink at least a gallon/day and pace myself by setting times where I have to consume water. For instance, I am done with my first bottle by 9:30. Second one at the end of lunch. Third by the time I leave work, and the forth before bed. Might work for you to get yourself trained in the habit of watching the clock and setting gates for water consumed. I set up a little gym in my house (bench, bar, 225 for plates, and dumbbells up to 50lbs, treadmill, tv) so I can do stuff on my schedule and leaving the house to go workout can be a hassle when you have a kid. I plan to add a pull up bar, but I'm trying to find the ideal location.

Best of luck bro... I'd suggest doing P90X... awesome workout. Guarantee you'll see results.
I just started my 2nd month and couldn't be happier. Basic muscle confusion concept with push and pull action of the workouts produce optimal results.

i can't see why you would take the pills??? in no way am i any kind of expert in this arena but after watching years of BL it seems to me the goal is to get off pills?? wont a healthy diet and regular exercise do everything you need??
i am 6'2 and peaked at 250. i was able to drop to 195 in one year with just diet changes. ( gosh i was eating so poorly ). either way it feels great to take the weight off so keep up with it.
will the parents and gf keep your feet to the fire?? that support system is so important. hold yourself accountable to your goals. good luck on this journey.
subscribed for sure!

Well here's my first update...
Was at the park today from 11 50 to 1 30 and did some cardio, and body weight exercises with my gf.
I didn't want to MAX out today but I was able to do 20 pushups and dips without too much trouble. I reckon my max is between 25-30. Considering I have gained 30 pouds since football and haven't really been working out much I guess its not a bad start.
I woke up late today at around 10, and ate some strawberries before heading out, and now am about to eat lunch.

Thanks for that read! I'm not really trying to gain muscle just trying to tone up and try not to lose any as I lose weight. The only way to really lose weight but gain muscle is through steroids....
Once I am down yo around 210 then I'll start with mucle building. I hope my bench is as good as before, or at least close to. I use to be able to bench 315 4-5 times
I know pills aren't looked as being a solution but one I would recumbent is USPlabs oxyelite pro, iv been on it for several days and the increase in sweat is amazing, also aids in cutting your appetite. My friend lost loads in a month and I'm seeing a positive reaction with it. Just a recommendation mate. Good luck on the weightless!
Thanks for the tip on those pills. The pills I will be taking are prescription grade and some are amphetamines which I have taken before... I will start without taking these and only take them if I hit a wall... These pills are pretty much legal cocaine...
Agh alright mate, what's the name of em? I've found fat burners actually play a big role in fat loss contrary to what people think.
