why did you add 50 pounds to begin with
i wanst always 265, it all started in tenth grade when I was 165 lbs.
I got sick, mono and tonsilitis, and the medications conflict so I was basically laid up in bed for months with zero metabolism and eating ice cream all day. After 4 months I was about 355 pounds, wearing a size 54 pants. After I got better, I had to bust my ass to lose weight because of the pressures of kids at my school, not even recognizing me after I came back....really motivated me to hit the gym and start running.
I lost most of the weight over the next 6 months, but plateaued at about 215, with a lot more lean mass than I had before I was sick. Carrying the extra weight was like a giant full body workout for a year and I had built a lot of muscle. I played football too so I would go back up to 250 for the season, and back down to 215 for wrestling. After I went to college I went back up to football weight and stayed there. Since then I have gained about another 15 pounds, and it has been comfortable for me so I just kept it.
Now I think it's about time for a change. I wouldn't mind getting ripped up, even just to prove to people how easy it is.
I realize that 2-3 hours of cardio is a bit overkill, but its to prove a point. Weight loss is easy when youhave a good formula. That's all I am doing.
