Johnnielow says that the fat must go!

Johnnielow · 05-27-2008, 06:10 PM

Joined here and decided to start an online journal to track my progress. My name is John, 47 years old, 6 feet tall and 290 pounds at 29% bodyfat. I have been as heavy as 440 pounds not to long ago, have been as low at 270 but have put on some more weight in the last few months as I have found my motivation and desire lacking. I love the working out part of the equation, it is the diet that goofs me up. I know what to eat and what not to eat, I just seem to always want the "not good for me" food. I am trying to change that. I have tried Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, keto, carb cycling etc. I have decided that I need to follow a simple diet instead of a plan, lots of lean proteins, good carbs, fruits and veggies, good fats and lots of water. Portion control is a must.

I am going to do HST training as it makes real sense to me and add cardio on my off days to help with fat loss as well.

I will do my best to be a supportive member of this forum, I have belonged to a few and I get tired of the flaming and immaturity, I don't see that here.

Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it.

Thanks for your time.

Went in today to establish my base numbers for my 15 rep portion of the HST program. After doing squats, leg press, leg curls, rack deadlifts, bench press, pulldowns, seated rows, shoulder press, curls, pushdowns and calf raises needless to say I was fried. But it felt great. Diet was so so today, needs to get much better. That however is a work in progress and will get better every day.

Welcome welcome welcome!
...As for the flaming and immaturity, you probably just didn't look hard enough, it's here... however, it's not nearly as prevalent as other sites I've seen.
I'll suggest lurking around the diet & nutrition forum for a while and read up on the stickies...

Also look into "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" by Tom Venuto... it's a great book IMO

Walked for 45 minutes on the treadmill at 7% incline at 2.8mph. My legs are so sore from squatting. Will head back tomorrow to work out the final base numbers for my HST cycle. I am looking forward to starting it but really not looking forward to the down time for strategic deconditioning. I will do cardio of course and will use that time to get the diet in check even more. But I am bound and determined to get this fat off me once and for all.
