I want to be ripped as **** NAOW, in time for my birthday in three weeks, but it's not possible. Wish this damn lingering pudge would disappear with the other stuff, but it's stubborn as hell
What's funny to me is seeing how easy it was for me to hit the gym once I finally committed to it, and how I didn't really struggle to change my eating habits...at the current age of 24.
Had I known before how dedicated i'd become to this, I would've done this a LOT earlier in life, but alas, at least i'm doing it. And it feels great. I plan on being at LEAST 100lb down on my 1yr date, although as weight drops and time passes I keep upping my own personal goals, and that alone is a mini victory IMO. Currently, I have in my head the image of seeing 180 on the scale, because quite frankly I don't remember ever weighing that much
I remember being in elementary school fitting my dads size 32 levis for a time, then I remember being in fourth grade wearing my high school cousins solo's he had just tossed in the trash...size 36
Went to the GF's grandmas party last night, saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time, most hadn't recognized me and walked right by me as they were asking my girl where I was, that feel fellas, it's great.
At this point, i'm 33lb from where I want to be, but again, the goal goes from harder to harder regularly.

I'll save my lifting goals for another day
Cliffs: We all know change isn't going to happen overnight. Get over that first mental hump. We all know it won't be easy. We all know what it's going to take. I see a lot of folks, never talked to em, but I see they cheat themselves during their workouts, DONT BE THAT PERSON! IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE A THING! Consistency is key, during your routines, and in the kitchen. A lot of folks forget to pay attention to the latter, I don't get it since it's just as important if not MORE than what you do to break a sweat, a lot of times I feel that's the main contributor to what's holding you back from your goals.
Oh yeah, **** DIETS! Diets are always bound to fail! Change those habits. For good.
My birthday is also in 3 weeks, turning 23. I have lost 140lbs already on my diet and exercise routine, it will be a full year since I started by mid september. I'm 40lbs away from my goal weight 199lbs.
By the end of august I plan to get on a protein powder and weight lifting routine as serious or more serious as what I did to lean up.
Even though I don't weight lift I've maintained the muscle I have and increased them due to all the protein I eat on my diet already. I forget I'm losing weight thats how integrated it is in my life.
