Back in Jan. I was 238 with 42.5(ish) waist and 18inch arms flexed after a workout. I stand 5'8". I had a lot of strength but no endurance and a lot of body fat that did a lot of work on my ego. Had to wear even larger clothes than the normal fat guy. Lots of lower back issues among other things like sleeping without losing feeling in body parts was a chore,
Depression kicked in due to all this and other things that made me pretty much give up all hope in getting to a healthy weight where I felt comfortable. Reading this board and speaking with various people on it gave me the incentive and motivation to at least give it a try and do it with the goal of accomplishing my goals in a way that allowed me to have a lifestyle I could continue on with and one that would produce healthy results.
My goal is to reach a weight and BF% that will allow the sight of my abs and one that is reached I will do a long lean bulk to get to a 'size' i find both pleasing to me and comfortable to live with. I'm not even sure what these two weights will be but i'll know when I see it.

And many others. I'm sorry I couldn't list you all that helped but the ones(I know I'm missing some)above had talked to me in PM's and offered advice and resources and had their own obsticles they had overcome that I was able to use as strength to at least try to overcome mine...
This is long, I know, but I wanted to show that the advice and information was listened to and followed with the best ability and intentions and that most importantly. It was appreciated.
I haven't gone through a massive body recomp and i'm not a ripped BBr ready for a comp or a massive PL giant. But what I am is someone who gets up looking forward to working another day at reaching his goals and one who is able to tske his life back and place him back in control. And he's someone that's grateful that there were a bunch of people at a website that were willing to take the time out of their life and interupt their quest for knowledge and help a guy who wanted to know more but just needed a push. Thanks...
So I guess it's time to post some progress pics
