Just noticed this thread, figured Id chime in. Started working out for the first time in about a year this past September. Started at 150lbs and a noticeable amount of flab. Heavy drinking, mostly beer, plus a shit diet and little to no exercise was my downfall. Well after cutting out all fast food and actually paying attention to what I eat and working out 5 days a week for pretty much every week since the start of Sept. Im down to about 138 with my muscle definition starting to show. All my lifts have been steadily growing but I know my diet is really holding me back. I just havent been forcing myself to keep a steady intake of good food to help me gain some mass and keep my nutrition up but Im working on it. Ive just recently started stacking Controlled Labs White Flood and Green Magnitude for my pre-workout supplement and am EXTREMELY pleased with the results. Ive also switched from teh GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 protein to the Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold and have been pretty pleased. But heres some proof ![http://hphotos-snc1.fbcdn.net/hs202.snc1/6929_1152834499513_1187160118_30414450_6979244_n.jpg](http://hphotos-snc1.fbcdn.net/hs202.snc1/6929_1152834499513_1187160118_30414450_6979244_n.jpg) ![http://i46.tinypic.com/k39klh.jpg](http://i46.tinypic.com/k39klh.jpg) ---

Started Diet today. for those that know me and the weight gain Ive gone though in the last 5 years you know this will be difficult. Unfortunatlry my weight has started to limit me. I am trying the 4-3-2-1 Diet and will be posting weekly updates. I am hoping not be flamed of have my balls put in a vice by some of you guys but I am sure some will. The 4-3-2-1 diet is what is used on the biggest loser and those are the results I am seeking. I know it is possible because Ive seen burnyd do it. My goal is to drop 100lbs by july 4. A lofty goal I know but I think I can do it. Any advice/ tips are appreciated. My current weight btw is 364… yes thats right. Anyone that would like to join me that would be great. I could use some support … and I am more than happy to help others. ---

I’d also like to mention I tried the Subway diet once and lost 83lbs about 5 years ago but since gained it all back and then some. Also I started walking for 30 mins a day. I would like to find someone selling or giving away an old exercise bike . ---

everyone starts in january…key is to keep doing it…my gym has sooo many new people, come march, all are gone. set easy attainable goals, and give yourself time to reach them. dont push too hard or you will burn out, and lose desire. i am still enjoying my recent strength program. i have added a lot of weight to my bench, and barbell curl, and squats…i cant wait for april-may, when im done cutting down, to see how much mass i still have. as long as i get the 6 pack showing, i will be happy. im trying to see if i can get the 6 pack at 255lbs or so, we will see. ---

I know I’m probably going to get flamed for this, but…I’m starting a 6 month medically supervised diet soon in order for my insurance company to pay for bariatric surgery. I am either going to do lifestyle classes at Magee hospital or I will be getting one on one coaching through a research study. I have to wait about two weeks to see which group I will be put in for the study. ---
