OK peanutman, I want to see your abs by the time entries are due for my success stories contest in 15 months. You have an awesome start and enough time.  One warning, dont cut your calories too much as it can backfire bigtime. I suggest 20% deficit, its something that can be maintained for 15 months without causing the urge to pig out.

Here how to calculate your calories

Oh I will definitely be a new man come time for that contest!

    That's great progress! If you ever have watched the Biggest Loser (my wife and I record it each week), you'll notice how the first couple weeks are slow going visually, but every week that they make further progress you really can see the changes. I would suggest that you take a new picture each time you drop another 5 pounds from your previous picture. You can line them up and see the changes better that way. If you take the picture in a well lighted room in the same spot, you could even make it into a gif animation after a year and literally watch the fat melt away!  Grin

    I would really encourage you to do some bodyweight training even now, as the more muscle you recruit now the more your body will keep as it loses weight. It's tougher to build muscle than it is to lose fat, so keep a firm grasp on what you have. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, a pushup variation, squats, inverted row variation, and some planks/bird-dogs will get you started, and as your power to weight ratio improves you can work on harder variations to keep it challenging.

    Regardless of that, keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the next couple months!

    Most questions you have about building muscle is answered in this article.

    Getting big, strong muscles and losing fat is simple but it's not easy! To accomplish anything worthwhile in life, you need a firmly fixed goal; willpower; a high tolerance for pain.

    Good job man, You are a real inspiration to alot of people. Most people dont want to change their lifestyle because they feel they have gotten too far and there is no point in kidding themselves that they can change. So they dont do anything. But you sir, you have taken ahold of that and completely proved too everyone that if you want change then you can have it. Best of luck too you in the future. I hope that you win the competition 10 fold. I hope you do end up with a rocken 6 pack and babes knocken your door down. Keep up the hard work and know your goals !

    Hahaha, yeah I wish!  But thanks to all of you.  I definitely did have that feeling of not doing anything because I've gotten so damn fat, but then I got some sense and decided it was time for a change.  Its tough and definitely not easy but in the end I know the hard work will all pay off.
