extatic's weight loss journey

[extati]

I'm new to the whole dieting and body building scene.
I'm 18 years old and i'm eager, more than ever, to loose weight to get to my ideal goal.

At the moment i weigh 224.4lbs and my goal weight is to reach 176lbs. So hopefully i can loose 52.8 pounds ( 24 kilos ).
After viewing the forums i have decided to follow a good friend of mine's challenge he proposed.
"Tomek's 2 month challenge http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=634545 "

I will continually updating this log, so you and myself can see gradual changes

Thoughts

Starting today wasn't too hard.. the temptation of eating fast-food is still strong but i managed to resist it. So far im feeling not as full as if i was to eat a big burger or something. The exercise was very hard for me as i havent done much physical exercise in a while, i was planning on doing 6 repeats but failed, and i think i took too long on the rests. Part from that a good day

I would suggest that you plan out all your meals for the entire week first. Then make a shopping list of all the things you need for all your meals for the entire week. If you don’t have time to prepare your meals in the morning before you leave you can cook/prepare your items in bulk on a day off or when you have free time. I buy everything I need at one time fore the week except my salad greens, I’ll make 1 trip in the middle of the week to restock (so they don’t go bad). Tupperware if your friend! On a related note it’s bad ass to go to the supermarket and buy 108 eggs, you get some interesting looks. Just thought I’d put that out there
