I might aswell jump in. Christmas was depressing, simply seeing how much fatter I got over holidays, so now I'm fired up and motivated. I'm having an extremely difficult time getting up at 5:30am to do 45 mins of cardio. If it were a little more fun maybe? any suggestions? I'm riding my bike on a trainer with variable resistance.

This is great everyone! Keep em' coming!

**rdryden** · 12-31-2005, 02:05 PM

alright boys... this is some embarassing **** here

Here are the measurements

Height 5'11"
Weight (lbs) 210
Body Fat %24.9
Lean mass 157.71
Fat mass 52.29
Measurements
Neck 16.5
Chest 42.5
Waist 42
Hip 40
Bicep 13.5
Forearm 12
Thigh 26.5
Calve 15.5

I am currently doing a 4 day per week lifting routine, but Im thinking im gonna switch it up next week.. stay tuned for that

heres a sample diet..
note, i dont strictly follow this, but use it more or less as a guideline

meal 1
2/3 cup oatmeal
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
apple

meal 2
protein shake
1/3 cup of oats
celery
tbsp peanut butter

meal 3
2 pieces ww bread
3 oz tuna
tbsp ff mayo
banana

meal 4
protein shake
1/3 cup of oats
12 almonds

meal 5
chicken breast
cup of brown rice
cup of brocolli

meal 6
1 cup cc
tbsp peanut butter

On the pictures:
these pictures are horrible I know.. I have a web cam that i used to take them, but the quality is pretty bad.
Next time I visit my sister I will try to borrow her digital camera

I wanted to get a picture flexing, but it didnt really look any differant (because of the camera).
I also included a picture with my shirt on to show the contrast between me with my shirt off and with it on.
With clothes on I dont really look fat. That illusion is shattered though when they come off

Over time I have figured out how to dress myself to hide the fat one thing I look forward too is wearing stuff that used to make me look bad

Goals
During this 13 weeks I want to lose 20lbs of fat
I want to see my squat go from 275X5 to 315X5
Also, I joined the rowing club at school this year, so my 3rd goal relates to that: I want to pull a 2k erg time under 7mins

good luck guys

**rdryden** · 12-31-2005, 02:12 PM

Thank you for the compliment, but I got a long way to go.

Well, I don't see why not, if anyone else dosesn't mind.

What kind of music do you play? I use to play guitar, loved it. Just didn't have time anymore. Stopped playing when I was 16 (7 years ago) I have picked it up here and there, but never serious like I was. I was a true Metallica head. Could play them all. I Loved all heavy metal, and hard rock

Hey, yea its a Muddy Waters edition telecaster. Had it for about 5 years now I think. It replaced a 97-98 standard strat that was my first guitar. How long have you been playing?

I hope to get in on this too! Does it start as of monday? I'm pretty sure for some of us jan.1st is gonna be a bit of an alcohol recovery day

Come monday though I am starting a strict diet.

Current stats:
6'1 215lbs age 26 probably 25-30%bf

Diet will be a 40/40/20 split unless I find it not to be working, if it doesn't appear to be yeilding the results I expect I will try a keto diet at 6 weeks.

I will be doing Cardio mon-wed-fri and weight training mon-fri with at minimum 8hrs between the two.

I will be consuming NO simple carbs except for my post workout shake.

I haven't quite got the meals planned yet but that is what tomorrow is for before I hit the grocery store.

I will try my best to get digi pics tomorrow.

I think motivating one another here will be very beneficial to keep each other on track and not to stray! Good luck guys!

**IEBravo** · 01-01-2006, 12:52 AM

**rdryden** · 01-01-2006, 12:10 PM

holy crap my head hurts
There are 2 things that give me the worst hangovers: tequila and red wine
I was drinking both last night...

Anyway, Ive been playing guitar for about 10 years.
The first concert I ever went to was a Green Day concert when I was 12. That sparked it off.
I like to play funky/rock kind of stuff.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are my favourite band if that helps.
Ive never been really serious about playing though, its always just been for fun.

That's great, but after 3 times, you won't be able to rep them anymore

BB.com policy. You must evenly distribute reps. Go ahead, try it on me
