RossR Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 My Name is Ross. I'm currently an IT Manager for a private lab. I am going through a divorce right now, and I decided to make some big changes in my life. One of them has been getting into really good shape. I was bigger as a kid and teenager, then my thyroid decided to stop working properly and I lost a large amount of weight. I went from 210lbs to about 130lbs in 6 months.I started working out back in October. I was 168lbs at the time and in pretty bad physical shape. I've lost 13lbs so far in the last couple of months and really started gaining muscle and tone. My goal is overall physical fitness and to look/feel great.I am also sticking to a paleo diet as much as possible. Which is generally the weekdays when I cook for myself.I'm attaching a picture for reference on what I'm working with at this point.

Lachy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Welcome aboard, Ross. You look like you haven't got to worry too much about fat loss, just focus on lifting and eating for muscle gain, and you'll be making serious progress! Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
RossR Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks! I just picked up some whey protein powder to drink in the mornings in hopes of building more lean muscle. I just need to work on getting together some healthy lunches to bring to work with me. I think that's one of my biggest issues right now. Quote Link to comment
