The journey of Joycough

I dont think any has done this yet but welcome to IM

So what is your goals, stats, etc?

First off thank you bigss75 for the welcome.

I've been working out for about 2 years now but mostly as a powerlifter...though i'm not that strong for my size... i think. I've never really done cardio as my stats will show, but the new program i'm going on will get my going. Loss of fat is my primary goal while maintaining my muscle and just to be more active while maintaining my high marks in school and while maintaining my life.

I'm about
5'9"
205 lbs
51.25" shoulder span
18" neck (used to be 17")
43.5" chest
39" waist (used to be 42')
26.5" legs
18" calves
17" arms (used to be 17.5")
12.5" forearms

Max bench about 275
max deadlift about 450
max sqaut about 500

Any other ?'s just ask

Hi joy! Welcome!

You can get lots of healthy foods from the cafeteria like: oatmeal, baked potatoes, salad, vegetables, eggs, cottage, meats without skin, maybe even whole grain breads...

I'd skip things like pancakes and hashbrowns, cheese buns.

I know you are on a budget, and it's great you are asking your cafeteria to provide more quality meals! It's tough as a student to not gain the famous 5, 10 , etc. lbs!!! Ugh, do I remember, it all went to my face! LOL! Good luck!
