Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Before I answer this question let me give you a little background on me. I just turn 21 and during my freshman year of college I weighed in a whopping 296. I was a away from home and living in the dorms and figured then would be a good time to finally loose the weight Any ways to make a long story short I was able to get down to 230 by doing it probably all the wrong way. I would go the gym and lift weights but not with any sort of direction. And I would do cardio also about 2 hours a day. Since then I have had allot of ups and downs. Then about the begging of this year I found out abut bad for life and decided to try that out t, thinking it would be the way for me to finish off what I had started. But of course I did not follow it correctly, my eating was off, and I did not believe doing 20 minutes of cardio 3 days a week would get me where I wanted to be so I did an hour of cardio 6 days a week. So I tried about 2 challenges, with none them lasting more than a month and a half, and even then I did cheat a lot. Then came this current challenge, and so far I have been following the book to a T. I have not missed a single work out and have not cheat on a meal except when I was supposed to, I even got my body fat tested to actually see where I need to be going and that tested out at 185 lb lean mass and total weight 229. I have been supplementing for the first time also, and I seriously must say I do feel better, and look better than I ever have in my life. Of course I feel like quitting every now and then because I am from the generation of wanting it all and wanting now without having to work for it. But I still push through because what is my alternative, go back to being fat and feeling and looking terrible. It is just that this process is so slow and it can get frustrating sometimes. I am now in week five and weigh 216, and so far I have been losing a consistent 2 lbs per week, so I should be where I want to be at the end of twelve weeks, but in the back of my head I still have that 296 lb person in side of me telling me that its not possible for me. So now when ever I try to talk my self out of doing something, I stop what ever im doing right there and do it. I have come so far and now is the time to finish it off.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 hi ... This letter made me cry I know EXACTLY what you mean.. especially the 296 lb person stuck inside telling you that you cant do this. Let me tell ya.. YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY!!! CONGRATULATIONS on your voyage thus far, and KEEP IT UP! There are good days, and bad days, but from what I read here just now, I KNOW you are motivated this time around!! I felt it in your words! You are doing GREAT so far too, 2lbs a week is PERFECT for consistent, and LONG TERM weight loss. What are your short term goals? What are some of your long term goals? Here is one of my short term goals: I just bought an outfit, that 6 months ago, I would have been depressed looking at.... But this past weekend, I tried it on. You know what? The pants didn't fit. BUT... they ALMOST fit! 6 months ago.. I wouldn't have fit them on my leg. hehhahah.. SO, i bought it. And in 3 months. My short term goal it to fit nicely in these pants, and feel great about doing it. One of my long term goals, is to compete in a bodybuilding competition. I figure about this time next summer. Thats all for now.. i just had to add my .02 worth ;0 And again... YOU GO BOY!!! . > >Reply-To: bodyforlife >To: bodyforlife >Subject: wayne fisher awnser to question >Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 17:08:31 -0000 > > > >Before I answer this question let me give you a little background on >me.
