I know your pain.
Just started back at the gym hardcore this week. My body isnt broken, but its definitely reminding me its been awhile.

My goal is to lose ~28lbs in 3 months.. ~70lbs by next summer... and ~100lbs overall.

bjs, do be careful. being too gung-ho at first could keep you out of work or in the hosp. i've seen it. gradually get back into the heavy weight, low-rep workout. are you at the raquetball club? i go to the rehab place there for my achilles. i'll be there at 12:30 today, probably on the elyptical by 1. i'll be wearing a yankees hat if you need a spot. see ya.

I did goto Raynham Athletic for awhile way back, but it was too expensive. We go to South Shore in brockton now. My wife gets some crazy discount thru globalfit or something.

I honestly have no real interest in heavy weights. My goal is to tone. I was big all thru highschool and football. Time to deflate. My biggest problem is being in the IT field I dont move around that much. I think... might be wrong here... but think my goals are fairly realistic just given a ton of cardio and weights to tone... Maybe the 70lbs is a bit off given may.. but this time next year its possible.

My biggest goal is the 28lbs by the end of the year because I dont want to be over 300lbs when I turn 30.


Where am I going to lose it from? Well beleive it or not, Im 6'5 and weigh about 328.. - unless every scale I have ever stepped on it wrong. Noone EVER beleives that I am that big, even standing next to me... The height throws everyone off.

anything more than a pound a week is very tough. good luck and keep us abreast of you progress. walking the beach for the next 2 months should help.

I've gone through that many times, but I learned my lesson.

START SLOW...give it a couple of weeks before moving up, the body appreciates it much more.

As soon as I pull the boat out of the water, back to the gym I go.

A Hundred Pounds.... I've seen pics of you on the board, where are you going to lose 100 pounds from......you don't look that big. Thats a lot of weight to lose.

I also have NO room to talk I could use to lose probably 50 or so (more on the "or So" side).
