Hello from Kansas City

[fetzer85]

Hey guys and gals, I'm John and I'm a 30yo husband and father of 4 who's out of shape. Haven't lifted or exercised regularly for around 10yrs. I'm 5'10" 220lbs with about 25-30% BF.

Last month I started eating healthier foods as well as having less calories more often. In the last 8wks I've dropped about 12lbs. I'm eating 6 times a day and averaging 300cal a meal. I'm vegetarian and my protein intake is about 80g/day. I'm taking some basic supps - whey protein (just after workouts), creatine, multivitamins, flax seed oil and ZMA. Basically everything I used when I used to lift.

Main goal is to lose fat but I enjoy lifting much more than doing cardio so I'm focusing on diet and lifting. Just got a membership to Planet Fitness (insert joke here) but hey, it fits into our finances and I'm not that guy who's so strong that he can't make any gains there. Also I don't eat the complimentary pizza or bagels.

Looking forward to learning here and having some fun. Take care,

John

People talk shit about PF, but at the end of the day, it's a place to work out. You sounds like you know what your doing. I'd find a way to get a little more protein in. Maybe add a shake in the morning? Anyway, welcome brother!

I agree about PF. I do understand people taking issue with them not having any free weight benches but their dumbbells go up to 75lbs which is good for me. I hit PF first thing in the morning so maybe I could take some whey before and after. Thanks for the welcome brother.
