I've been lurking on the boards for a while and signed up a few weeks ago for an account.
I would love, for once in my life to be a monster. About 6 years ago I was weighing in around 240 down from 450 and working out real regular. My second kid came and work started getting busier and busier and I then turned into a drunk.
Three years ago I changed job so I could spend more time with my family (wife and kids). I have been sober for 16 months and on January first I weighed 360. I was going to the gym off and on but kept an eye on my diet.
I started working with an online trainer who put together a diet for me and a workout. I have been going to the gym religiously for three weeks now. I can start seeing changes in my muscles and shoulders. Things are starting to pop now like they used too.
I'm still working on getting my diet on point, but I find I succeed better when I make one change at a time and keep it consistent. So the next thing to tackle is my diet. I'm down to 324 now since January first. My normal routine is to take my "official numbers" at the begining of every month. I measure certain areas on my body and weigh myself. I then put everything away again for a month.
Like I said, I want to be an absolute monster, but I also know I still have a ways to go, probably another year before I get down enough where I can start acquiring some workout gear.
Currently I'm 39
6'1"
324
My wife is on board if I choose to use the gear. I know I still have a lot of research to do, but I still have a long ways to go before I even need anything.
I really just wanted to introduce myself and say hey and such and try to get my 50 posts in.
Thanks everyone.
