theStorm Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Afternoon all and greetings from a wet and quite frankly sinking England. I've recently started following the blog and hitting the gym hard after a long dry spell without lifting weights.Started out my journey about 4 weeks back, I work in web development (so I really am a nerd) and I love the London Street Food scene (not that it fits in well with my goals). As well as wanting to get fit again and be more active than sitting at a desk all day allows, I'm getting married in August and really am adverse to the idea of wearing 36" suit trousers! I am 6'1" and Started out at 102kg.Currently ~99kg and still 6'1" (funny that).Roughly following a 16/8 diet and cutting down on bad carbs and consuming ~200g protein and ~2500 - 3000kCals a day as I want to lose another 5kg before I up my calories again.Doing weight training 3 days a week and getting cardio (swimming) in between. Hoping to share my progress and gain support from the community with tips and guidance! Cheers, Tom 1 Quote Link to comment

Measuring your progress in a variety of ways can be useful, so if it keeps you motivated then go for it.
