About time

[Pharmer in Training]

Well, I figured I should introduce myself to the board. My name is Chris and I am 21 years old and studying to be a pharmacist at a med school. (strange huh?).

My current stats are:

330-lbs (havent weighed myself since April 7th)
6 feet tall
Roughly 30% body fat

I have always had a weight problem, but I have never had a problem puting on muscle, which was adventageous for my sporting endevors.

However, I am no longer playing sports year round and my weight is more of a burden than a blessing.

I have set a few goals along the way.

Below 300 (by June 6th)
Below 270 (by August 1st)
Overall goal 225-240lbs by this time next year

These goals may seem steep, but along with the atkins diet I am working out 4 days a week and doing cardio 3 days a week.

Thanks for reading my intro, and give any reccomendations you could spare.

Welcome to the ADBB and Atkins Chris! You're in the right place for support and inspiration.
Kudos to you for your exercise regimen. Without exercise, weight loss is so much harder.

Happy losing!

Chris - Nice to meet you. It looks like we are starting together. I joined yesterday (Saturday April 12) and today is my first full day of induction. Your plan to couple exercise with a proven weight loss plan is (I believe) the best approach!! It sounds like we both have a lengthy road ahead of us (my wt. if 351 lbs), but we can do it! Good luck. Keep in touch.

Hey! Welcome to the boards!

I have a recommendation. Leave 1 day a week for relaxing. You're working out every day, as it is. Give your body some time to recover.
