Hey guys,
I have been lurking here for over a year and just joined officially about a month ago. I've taken lots of great advice from this site and put it to use.
I started out around 320 lbs. College + beer + pizza really does a number on the body. Anyhow, I've just accepted a position in law enforcement and I've been training all spring/summer for academy. On my "ticker" in my sig line, it shows that I started at 296lbs. This is because that is the weight in which I started at *this* time (ha) and that would have been around May 1st.
My goal weight is in the ~220 ballpark. If I can get under that and still be strong/healthy, that's fine.... I would be amazed. I'm 6'1'' and always been a "big guy." If you can imagine a defensive lineman (football), that's how I'm built.
I didn't post pictures from the beginning because I'm weird and wanted to make sure that I'd see results and stick with it *this* time. Sorry for the blurry pictures, I used a camera phone for all of them, I think....
Let me know if you can see any changes.
Thanks, ladies and gents, for the advice and encouragement.
I'll put more pictures up after this week. I'll be in a wedding and there should be some good ones, haha.
Before: ~320 lbs
Half-way (currently) ~266
