Thread: Bigguy in Ohio

Hello all...

I have come here for some serious help.

I have been up and down in weight over 100 lbs in the last 10years, and right now i am about 5 foot 9 inches and weigh 310lbs. My goal right now is to be @ 210~225 by Jan 05.

I have read all the books like SOuth Beach, Dr. Phil, Atkins, etc... and worked out at many different Gyms.

This time i am trying something new, i decided to buy almost everyting i need to work out at home. So far i have Dumb bells from 10lbs to 100lbs in 10lb increments, and i have a bench for flat, incline, and decline bench, i have a rack for the bench and squats, i bought a treadmill and cross trainer as well.

I figure as much money as i have spent going to the gym and finding an excuse not to go: busy, daughter, work to much, etc, i will have no excuse now when it is in my basement.

What i am looking for from IM is this: I would like maybe some suggestions on a starting routine, i.e. treadmill time? basic movements on weights, even some food intake ideas. I am so determined this time to lose weight and keep it off, it is unreal, i just thought coming to this site for support would be another item on my side.

I am going to try and post pics as i go along, and i will start as soon as possible, even at this bigguy size, i want to be honest and i want to hear you honest opinions, besides your fat, thanks i know that, that is why i am here.

Well nice to meet everyone and hopefully this will be a great start to a long relationship with IM and its members.



Thanks Brian
