I may not qualify for this thread. I am married to a wonderful lady. Have been for 37 years. We have one son but is grown and gone. Just wondering if I fit in here?

Thank you and Happy Holidays to you, and to everyone. 50 degree weather? No fair. It will be snowing here this weekend with a high of 33 degrees. Brrrrr...I hate winter. How am I supposed to get motivated to go xmas shopping if I don't want to venture out in subfreezing temperatures? Online shopping is starting to look more appealing. lol.

Yep- Week one down and it is a good workout. First advice is you need alot of time...so if you dont have 1 1/2-2 hours you will need to take less of breaks on some things. Also start light and figure out the 50% 10 rep max as I thought I could just go off what I know...you really needs to start light then go hard on the last burn outs. I feel great and actually gained weight, but I understand the principal.

Just found this thread and figured I would introduce myself. Been on here for a little over a week or so. While, I am not married, I am engaged and we have a 3 year old daughter together; two kids total. I have been on and off when it comes to working out. The toughest part for me now, aside from having parental responsibility is the fact that I work nights. However, on the HIIT topic, I did do the Insanity in its entirety back in the beginning of 2011. Worked like a dream. Went from 209 down to 195 lbs in 2 months, and lost over 17 inches throughout my body. Lots of people thought I weighed less than that! I definitely have difficulty staying motivated when it comes to working out, and I probably could come up with 1,000 reasons why, but there is really no excuse. Just read my signature. I am beginning a new chapter in my life (about to turn 30 in a few months), which means it is time to make a few life decisions, to include fitness.
While I am no rookie, I am sure there is plenty I can learn as there is always new exercises out there that I can try. After looking at a number of stories on here (awesome motivation can be found in the "Transformations" link found on the motivation page), as well as comparing weight vs physical appearance, I have decided to set the following weight goal:
Current weight: 197 lbs; Goal weight: 177 - 184 lbs
Not too sure how I want to be proportion wise, since my waist is naturally 35 inches. I'm looking at maybe going for 43" chest, 16.5 - 18" arms, 23" legs, 16" calves. It might seem like I'm throwing numbers out there, but it's not, I promise. Some of it is based from personal experience and other numbers are based on just constant information overload. Not trying to look perfect...want to build more confidence and self-appreciation. Right now I abuse the life out of my body...I drink untold amounts of soda, eat all sorts of fatty food (bad fat), smoke a pack of cigarettes per day, and the list goes on. Makes me wonder how the hell I am even just 197 lbs!
Anyway, sorry for rambling. Just tired of hiding from myself. I feel like the first step to fixing things is admitting there is a problem. Thanks for reading!There is no such thing as "I can't."
There is, however, such a thing as "I won't."
Accountability over Excuses...
