It's not just for vanity anymore. After visiting my hometown this summer, and seeing my mom, and knowing I'm well on the path to being a similar condition to her, I now know I have to do it this time. I've tried and failed so many times, I've been a fatass all my life. I reached 350 this summer. I've been a football player, boxer, karate guy, boxer again, flag football player and most recently a powerlifter. My goal is to get myself from (current weight) 324-yes a 26 pound loss in 8 weeks-to a bodybuilder. I will do this. I have to do this. I'm 38 now, 39 in november. I want to reach 200 or less by the day I turn 40. I want to be at 300 or less by my birthday this year. My diet is Atkins, extreme low carb seems to be the only way to lose for me. I do a minimum 40 min. cardio 5-6 days a week, combined mostly with heavy compound lifts + some iso lifts sprinkled in. My supps are vpx meltdown, fish oil, garlic, & flax seed. I work the graveyard shift and train mostly in the mornings after work. Any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

I would not do extremely low carb if you're gonna lift weights, and you should. (modifiy it if you can)

Otherwise good luck you can do it.

Thanks for the positive words guys. Did arms today + 40 min. on the treadmill. My keto stix turned a lovely shade of purple again today, lol. I've been 20 grams of carbs or less for the last 8 weeks and feel as strong as ever, though using heavy weights with shorter rests between sets (30 seconds or less) seems to limit the reps I can do. Tomorrow is my 1 non training day this week. May have to take off monday and friday next week. I'll weigh in on tues. or wed. My daughters b-day is sunday, hopefully I survive the cake and icecream attacks, though if I get a sweet tooth, I have plenty of sugar-free/low carb 'treats' ready to go! Wish me luck
