New member seeking crucial advice

[eastcoastinc]

Hey everyone I'm Matt from Virginia.

I'm 22 years old and have been training since i was 16. When I got to college, I got into a drug habit which took away from my time in the gym and effected my diet for the worse. In my best, i was 215 pounds and muscular. I wore a size 34 for pants and looked my best.

Now I'm 255 pounds and slipping into the worst shape I've ever been in. I'm sincerely asking for advice. I'm looking to change my life and by summertime shock the people around me by looking as i did in my prime or better. I've never took steroids but at this point I'm looking for anything that will help put off the weight ASAP. I quit my habit and I'm looking to drastically change my life around.

By mid may, I would love to weigh under 215 and am willing to take any safe supplements/steroids to help me achieve my goal. Any advice is sincerely appreciated and it's great to meet everyone.

Welcome. Like everybody else has said... A good clean diet will be your best friend for losing weight. Because you have been out of the gym for so long, you will be able to shock your body and drop fat and gain muscle FAST. Read the diet/nutrition and the training forums. Steroids will not help you at this point. You have so much potential to change your physic naturally first.

Welcome east! Im new to the board myself but definitely agree with the others that diet and routine should be the main focus at this point. I think youll be suprised at how quickly your body comp can change if you buckle down on those two areas alone. Best of luck to you in your journey and it would be interesting to see your progress/results along the way if you decided to post up a log down the road.

Dial in your diet(pick something do-able, that you don't constantly feel deprived), slam the weights - and get enough sleep - btw:sticking to progressively heavier compound exercises for a while will knock off way more fat then any cardio - and squat!
