Constant struggle. Weight loss, weight gain, weightlifting!
Ok, where to start? Im 21 yrs old, 6'0. I have always had problems with my weight. As a kid I was overweight, in my mid teens I got interested in weightlifting and manage to get my weight down but in all the wrong ways. Weighlifting, NO cardio, NO diet, eating a minimal ammount of food and basically just tearing my body to shreds. In the summer of 2007 I weighed in at 257lbs (117kg) since then I have got my weight down to 196lbs (89kg). Honestly I dont know how I have lost the weight. I havent been to the gym in about 3 yrs, seldom go for walks and pretty much dont care what I eat. I have been smoking for a little over a year and I'm currently up to about 2 packs/day.
When I was a teenager I started really getting into fitness and would run and workout religiously but as I mentioned I wasn't eating right and got pretty small and was constantly sick, had trouble focusing in school and just wasn't going about it the right way. I found this website after days of endless searching and it seemed like the best one to join. Everyone seems friendly and willing to help one another with their various problems.
During the summer I havent done anything but smoke 'round the clock. Havent been eating and when I do its usually one small meal around 8-9 p.m.. My biggest problem is I KNOW everything I am doing wrong I just havent cared lately.
My main concern with starting back to the gym is if its too late to get my body inshape. I have pics that I would like comments on, I will try to post them but I read somewhere there is a 15 post minimum before you can upload.
When starting the gym I have a workout planned which I will post and criticism is more than welcome. I dont expect many answers now due to the fact that all Im really doing is letting people know Im on and would like "contructive criticism", for lack of a better term, in the near future.
Thats all for now, sorry it was so much to read.
