Went to the gym damn them girls in them tight azz shorts. Got on that tread mill EVERYDAY started walking 1 mile then ran a 1/4 mile every day did that for a week then did 1/2 mile for 2 weeks then got to a mile every day.. i got to were I could run 2 miles every day. The lbs started comeing off I mean loseing every week. I kept the diet & the running up.
In 7 mos I had lost 75lbs.. now thats a BOOM.... I stayed at 245 a long time, hell here comes christmas, holidays, and EATING.. Got back to 260lb now back at the gym

It was good for me and my wife loved it, hell I got back 4" of deek that was in my belly.
My log chain was swinging again and I felt better. But its something you got work on all the time.. No cheating, I do have a beer & cigar every now and then.

I forgot to weigh this morning when I first woke up. After breakfast, I was 209.0. I'm +19 now. Haven't been this light in a couple years. Once I hit <200, it'll be the lightest I've been since before high school.

I am wanting to gain muscle. Ideally I'd like to change fat that I have to muscle and stay same weight give or take.

Is this possible or am I asking to much.

If so what would you or the others recommend. I'm starting back to free weights 3 times a week.

Supplements?

Fat does not turn into muscle. They are two totally different types of tissue.

However, as you continue to add muscle your body will burn more calories even at rest. Most likely you will see your weight creep up just a bit but clothes will be looser. My advice is to not go by the scale weight as it really isn't that great of a guide. Go by how you look and feel.

Will you be doing 3 days of a full body workout or a 3 day split with specific body parts worked on specific days?

Supplements will depend on your goals. Honestly, I find anything outside of a good protein powder and maybe creatine if you are a hard gainer a waste of money. But everyone out there has an opinion on supplements and they are all different.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

My understanding is creatine helps muscles heal faster after work out.

I can't drink those protein drinks. Nasty.
Work out is 3 nights a week. Mostly upper body. What exercises would be good for belly?


List 2 pounds. Down to 202
