Hello everyone!
A little about me, I'm 28 (M) 6 ft and weighing in at 372. I really enjoy lifting, though I haven't much since late teens to about 23. I finally bought a scale that would read my weight and seeing 380 really woke me up. That's practically two thirds of a Six Hundred Pound Life! I have since started lifting again and actually thinking about what I am eating.
Current Routine:
I am currently running a modified Program A from Doug Hepburn and was written by Steve Shaw. It entails the same power and pump but the power sets are reduced to 5 sets worked from 2 reps to 3 and the pump set is modified to his rep goal system where you push each set as far as possible and try to get 7+ reps each set before adding weight. I have also started walking each day around 25 to 40 minutes. I have been using my fitness pal and a food scale to start tracking calories. The current base goal in my fitness pal is a little over 2300 calories a day which should help me reach a 2 lb lose each week.
My 12 month goal is to lose one hundred pounds. I know this is a big number but I'd rather push for more than less considering the amount I have to lose and that I have surpassed Morbid Obesity and am now Super Obese.
Enhancement is not on my radar. The main reason I wanted to join this community is I don't have anyone that wants to talk about lifting or dieting with me. I have lurked on here in the past and remembered how knowledgeable, straightforward and funny the community was.
Thanks for having me! I look forward to seeing everyone around!
