Another new guy

Hello All,

I might be the biggest challenge yet!

My name obviously is Bill, and a little about me:

Age: 28
Height: 6ft 3in
Weight: 320

I was hit by a truck at the age of 17, and balooned to 360lbs. Over the next 2 years I managed to work off about 30 pounds the best I could as when I was hit, it broke my left leg in two spots.

Since losing that weight, I got complacent...and let weight loss go to the wayside. My, like many others, new years resolution is to lose it this year. I'd like to make 260lbs my first goal. I do lift weights, so I'm sure that plays a part into my weight as well. Knowing that I'm lifting weights and bulking up in muscle, I know I'll never see 200 lbs...but I'd love to not be FAT anymore.

I'm hoping to get some good advice and learn from you all here on how to do this, and look forward to helping anyone in any way I can.

Thanks for the welcome!
 
Welcome to the forums.

Sorry to hear of your accident. I have had my leg broken twice and know what pain and phyisical therapy you likely had to endure. Kudos on losing the weight to date.

Weights are a good idea, but a good cardio work out can't be beat. That, along with a healthy plan will get you to your goal for sure! I know for me, I can only handle low impact exercises because of my ankle - if you too worry about that, eliptical machines and ski machines can offer a good work out!

Good luck!
 
Bill,

I have similar stats. Although I did not break anything, I had the same fitness routines as far as lifting heavy and not doing much cardio. I have learned I am no longer playing football on the O-line. I have incorporated a lot of cardio into my workouts but I have also changed my lifting habits to less weight and more reps to tone rather than bulk up. Best of luck.

Mike
