I started on January 1st, eating very clean. Lots of veggies and chicken breast, approx 1200 cals/day. The only exercise I’ve done so far is walking a few miles several times a week. My first weigh-in was Monday, Jan 8th, and I lost 7 lbs. My next weigh-in will be Monday, January 22nd. I feel like I’ve lost at least 5-6 more lbs.    

The only supplement I’m taking is Total EFA, Omega-3 Fatty Acids. I feel I can lose most of the weight without supplements, and try to avoid the stimulant weight loss products due to a heart condition. Once I get to my goal weight loss and start my €˜bulking phase’ I will use some supplements. I have no intention of becoming a true bodybuilder, but it would be nice to have a good physique, and if I see progress in the mirror I am just the type to get addicted to serious weight training. I have the frame to be quite large, and if I catch the bug of bodybuilding I believe I can be a nice specimen.

First things first:weight loss.

I will try to find a picture from a few months ago, but pics of me are few and far between. I’ll take some new ones and post them ASAP, after all, I’m already about 2 weeks into my program, so I’ve missed at least 10lbs and an inch off of my ample waistline already!
