I think I'm gonna join this thread for a new found motivation. I live for the gym...it became one of my passions as early as 8th grade. I turn 30 next month and plan to make my 30 the best year of my life, especially in the gym. Jesse and I have been working out for a few months together and I've seen him transform with his routine. Next month starts my routine. :) At 6'1" and 250lbs id like to continue shedding "fat" and gaining strength. My goal is to lose 15-25lbs and still eclipse the 400lb bench mark, which is currently at 375lbs. I also plan on getting jesse to that 300lbs milestone. (Equivalent to OBB of hunting) goodluck to all and time to get after it!

That's boy!!!

It was great motivation for me to live things out in this thread. I felt like it keep me to task and I didn't want to let the other guys in the same boat down. You've definitely helped me along the way TOO and I have no doubts we'll get to our "bench"marks!

Huck I know how u feel. Its a vicious cycle trying to stay in the gym. If you are anything like me, I set goals and it seems as though after I reach those goals I quit all together and then lose most of what I accomplished. Its a true story when lifetime gym rats say its a lifestyle change....it doesn't take much to fall off the band wagon.
Jeremiah- id love to lose the weight without sacrificing muscle so in reality I will be checking body fat percentage as opposed to actual weight. Hoepfully in turn I will see some actual poundage lost as well as inches.
Jesse- I have no doubt that u and I will reach those marks. I think you are well on to something saying that keeping a live thread of progress will keep the motivation level high.

So with that said...I am going to start a thread similar to everyones hunting logs. I feel like I have learned a lot by reading everyones posts from day to day.. After all that's what this site is for....learning and putting what we learn to use. With this thread I hope to help others stay motivated with the tools I have learned and used over the years in the gym. I absolutely do not know it all but I do think what I know and do can help others as well as myself to stay on top of my game. Stay tuned fellas!

Finally hit one of my goals last night and ran a 10 minute mile! Just did my weigh in this morning and I'm now in the 270's - 278 to be exact. Down 92 lbs, 58 more to go.

For any of you wanting to get into better shape/lose weight I recommend myfitpal.com or the app on your smartphone. It has my wife pretty geeked about getting back into it. I am allowed 1940 calories a day which is pretty good. My wife is allowed 1240 a day. She isn't so geeked about that except that now she will know what it is going to take to work off the French Vanilla Capp is! lol

Wish us luck and we will track progress on here. Keep me on task. ;)

I dropped 38 and gained all but 10 of it back. lol

In 6 months I plan to be below 220. That is a good fighting weight for me. Last time I weighed 220 I wore a 33 waist. With my body style I am good with that.

I went from 235 to 195 and back to 205 in 2011. Part of that weight gain was intentional and I actually plan to gain more weight this year. Now that I am back in shape, I'm attempting to hit a 300 bench for the first time in my life. My goal this year is to be the best me physically I have ever been when my 30th birthdays rolls around this September. I was 5'10" and 160lbs with a 230 bench when I left high school. With some luck and hard work, I'll be 6'1" and 215 with a 300+ bench at 30. Tomorrow marks Day 1 of the next goal in my transformation from the unhealthy slob I was in 2010 and the years leading up to then. I plan to take measurements of my neck, arms, chest, waist, thighs and calves tomorrow to give me a frame of reference since weight is really irrelevant at this point. I'll also be monitoring BMI during the process.

Great work all around this year fellas. Between the brotherhood, we lost a person or two!!!
