Journey to 10%

I have always enjoyed training and working out. 10 years ago when I met my wife I weighed 217# was about 15% BF. Was probably in the best shape I had ever been in and felt great. I want to add that my wife worked out as well. This was a big help to be with someone that also enjoyed it. As happens alot with people I let life get in the way and would just work out on and off and lost the discipline and drive I had. I saw a trainer for awhile last year and lost sout 20# and then got off track again. My wife and i started seeing a nutritionist and they have made it much easier and as we all know there is more to the equation on the nutrition side than lifting weights. I started at 286.5 and 35% BF right now I am 266# about 18.5% BF. For me to be 10% it would put me about 230 to 240. I want to do this by Labor Day and ironically my HS reunion is the weekend following Labor Day......I plan on staying on track and getting to where I want to be this time........Anyone that would like to give me a kick in the ass and keep in contact to inspire me please feel free.........

You already have a plan and that's step #1. Go to the gym no matter how tired you are, a light workout is better than none at all. I look forward to reading your next post updating us on your great progress!

Way to go for the progress you have made and the plans/goals you have set. Just stick with it, the rewards will far outweigh the frustration and pain you go through now.

Look forward to seeing you accomplish your goal. I'm @ 18%BF & am going to be below 10% by year end. Now if you can do it by Labor Day so can I, I'll be watching!
