tma90 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hi everyone, my name is Taylor and I am looking forward to becoming a part of this community! I've been reading NF for a few months now and have decided to finally dive in. I'll try to give a brief background and some goals for my journey below: Background: - I am a 23 year old male who just finished college and started work in the last year- Mainly looking to shed some beer weight (need to lose about 20 pounds) and add lean muscle. - I haven't been able to stick to an exercise routine since high school. Usually because I get all excited to get back on the workout kick and I go too hard the first week...which then causes me to slowly lose steam from there.- I was always lean and fit (not muscular!) until around 3 years ago, I had many bad habits in college and would love to start the reversal now! What I've done so far this year:- Completely given up soft drinks- Drastically reduced juices/energy drinks/sport drinks- Made the switch from unhealthy college drink specials (beer, LITs, rum and cokes, etc.) to light beer, vodka sodas and red wine.- Just joined this forum and purchased the Rebel Fitness Guide. Challenges I face:- I am a consultant, living in a hotel Mon-Thurs every week- I am very social, I love going to meet people after work for happy hours or to watch a football game- Bad habit of eating what is convenient at the time (fast-food, delivery) GOALS:- Adopt a healthier diet- Be a better cook- Lose 20-25 pounds. I'm 5'9 and weigh 182 today, I think my ideal weight would be somewhere between 155-165, I mostly care about body fat % anyway.- Get lean, feel better about my appearance Thanks for reading!

Sythez Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Awesome man! Sounds like a good plan to get going on. Cooking in a hotel can be hell and expensive in waste, so traveling with your own spices and snack foods can really help (literally trail mix, homemade is amazing) Hope you have a blast, shed what you wanna get rid of, and see ya around the site!
