I visit this site all the time and it has inspired me (more so than I already was) to really get going on losing fat and building muscle, so I figured I'd give this a shot. Hopefully I can get some advice along the way or inspire people, like I was, to get in shape and get going. I plan to update this once a week with what I have done all week, eaten, etc. Will do day by day as possible. Taking weekly pictures to track progress. Guess I will start with today!
Quick info about myself :
So far I know biggest hurdle is eating enough. I believe body is hanging onto fat because I have trouble getting up to BMR + 300 for workout (2100ish). I drink water all day, and easily reach 120oz. or more a day and I do not drink anything else...water only. Full time student. Work Part Time. grandparents and parents scales read I have 25-26% body fat which I find hard to believe. I started at 188 pounds and weight fluctuates from 171-174 (and not going down, but I am noticing more muscle in arms and chest) at the moment. First 10 pounds went very fast and now its going by slowly. I use the gym at college, has just about everything you can think of to use. I am 5 feet 9-10 inches.
