My new contest.....

This is an excellent idea and i am in for sure. i have been steadly gaining weight for about 2 years due to my lazyness and this last weekend i was in banff and practically crippled trying to walk up a few flights of stairs...

I feel like a complete idiot because about three years ago i decided to loose a bunch of weight and went from 270 pounds to 200 in 4 months! now i have hit an all time low of 290 pounds and am very disapointed about it. so enough is enough and i had decided to start working my ass off when i came back from holidays anyway. this will give me the needed ,motivational boost to help me lose weight.

Here is how i looked 2 years ago...

My issues are still from my broken legs. At it is right now I cannot jump, run, or bend over properly, and I go for surgery (again) in a month. Breaking my legs was a good thing for my weight, as I lost appetite and 40 pounds as a result. But since going back to school, specifically finals last semester, I have gained 20-30# again (depends on the day). As Juli just gave birth on Thurs now we both have a reason to get more in shape. On top of this is the fact that Massage is a Health Care profession and I feel an unfit therapist is disrespectful to other therapists. We are hoping to bike more often (have a 2 seat carriage for the kids), and hopefully get some hiking/camping in.

I'm in- but doubt the weights will be lifted, cardio and eating are more important to my body type (besides kids are enough weight to lift!).
 
I'm in for this contest. I doubt I have much of a chance at winning but hopefully it will get me started on a few personal goals. I am not over weight but I am not in the shape I would like to be. As I sit here I am 6'1" and 160lbs so basically I am a stick but plan on getting in much better shape and possible gain a few pounds. My big problem is trying to get into a routine, I rotate monthly for my current job.

Not so good pictures of me at work(a couple of weeks ago).

5' 10" weight 140-150. Weighed exactly 145 this morning. I'm in the normal range of BMI/body fat; however, I still need to lose some fat and gain muscle(can sort of tell in the pic). I want to lose 5-10 lbs of fat. So I need to gain about 20 lbs of muscle. The last 10 lbs will be water. So I am shooting for 160-165#.I can eat anything and not go over 150#(or at least yet), so it is going to take a lot of work!

Leg press 410# for 5 reps, Bench press 8 reps at 100#, and 2 widegrip pullups. Should have had a spotter cause I could have probably packed on 2 more reps on the presses. Hope to get up to 550# and 200# with 20 widegrip pullups.

Also have personal measurements but I doubt they will change much.
 
OMG, I can't believe I am posting this. Jeez, now this is motivation.

My boss just informed us that the company is going to assist us with membership for MMA/Krav Maga classes AND the post I work at is allowing ALL employees, contractors, etc use of the gym for free...:cool:
 
I'm amped for this. I need to get some before pics. I've got two week long vacations coming up during this contest so it'll be a test in willpower for me. I leave for vacation this Saturday and I'm sick as a dog right now, hopefully it'll clear up by then.

You startin' a new thread for progress or using this one?

I suggest eating pizza, burgers, and potato chips all slathered in lard...it should help you feel better...

I'm doing that symbolically by running. oh, and cutting out 2 pots of coffee a day (one, maybe 2 cups in the morning instead of 2-3 pots through the day)
 
I don't want to see any more pics of myself. That draught horse on my stomach started out as a pony.
 
Took our first long walk around a man made lake with the new family, man are my legs sore and swollen! Really have to get the bikes going!
