Fat mans Quest v2.0

[CroMagnum]

Well well well, guess im back!!!!

Dont for once think that Ive stopped my quest of getting back down to my 'glory weight' I dont even remember what that weight was lmao. Well I'm going to recap this whole thing.

I was a depressed fat boy who ate ate ate and got extremely fat.
I hopped on a scale one day and saw that I was well over 400lbs. I was shocked and disgusted that I let myself get this way.
I was always into powerlifting (for a short while), then switched back over to regular lifting then I stopped for 4 years thats when I got extremely heavy.

Now fellas Im not looking into being a ripped specimen, thats far from now. Im setting myself smaller goals that lead into the bigger one, that I havent thought of yet, im sure I will in due time.

Here I am Starting weight of 426lbs Goddamnit how did this happen?



Here I am getting crunk at 390lbs



And here I am today ****ing bored out of my mind at my office. But at a happier 360lbs



Yes I know horrible pics that don't show my physique, and thats because I am still not at a point where I am satisified with myself and comfortable with taking my shirt off. I will be though once I get down to 300lbs.

My training regimen is as follows

Monday Cardio-Back-Cardio
Tuesday Cardio-Chest- Cardio
Wednesday Cardio (walk my dog)
Thursday Cardio-Shoulders-Cardio
Friday Cardio-Arms- Cardio
Saturday Cardio-Legs
Sunday Cardio (walk my dog)

My diet is the same everyday, but unfortunately I cannot share that with the forum.

Im feeling great though, never out of breath anymore, can get thru my workouts easily. Many compliments from my peers and co-workers. Very excited and extremely motivated. This will be my log to track my weekly progress, my weight, my gripes, all that shit lol.

Thank you for reading fellas, and I hope to inspire people in the future that this can be done.

looks good mate congrats, whats with the secret diet though?

well i bought it from a well known-PT and i can't divulge.

[CroMagnum]

oh supplementation!

l-carnatine, tyrosine, multi-vits, glutamine, bcaa's. The diet consists of 5 solid meals and 2 shakes.

[BigLittleTim]

Best of luck, CroMagnon!

Sounds like you've got the motivation and the determination to make serious changes in your life. Diet is the hardest thing, believe me, but having a regimen worked-out by a professional is a big advantage.

Looking forward to seeing your progress, big man (big in a good way!)

Cheers,

Monday 08/20

Weekend went well. Had my first cheat meal in 6 weeks. Felt like crap afterwards. I wont be having another cheat meal for a very very very long time. Did my cardio over the weekend.

Today. Thus far Ive had 2 cardio sessions 45 minutes on the treadmill, and another 30 minute session during my lunch break at work. Some people might say im over doing it but I feel great. Tonight I train back followed by another 30-45 minute cardio session. Feels great to be on the ball, and diet is back on point! I think ill post new pics next month so you all can notice a substantial loss in weight.

Thanks for looking fellas!

[smokeyd]

hey keep us posted on your results!

[CroMagnum]

hey guys im here!!!

had a pretty shitty weekend. had my car broken into this morning and ****ers stole my goddamn gym bag. with my ipod and all my straps, and sleeves. Really annoying.

Back on track though can't let this negative shit **** up my motivation.

Last week I took a small break from the training, I felt a bit 'over-trained' and sluggish. Think Ive been doing too much cardio? Nonetheless, I took 3 days off over the Holiday, and now the wheels are rolling again.

Today:
Missed AM cardio getting my car window replaced.
Missed Afternoon (lunch-time cardio) left my clothes at home because I rushed out to the window place.
BUT (lol) this afternoon I have my back session with ARNOLDSSON, followed by 45 minutes of cardio.

And tomorrow morning I start the cardio again, since Ive replaced my Ipod. I swear guys Ive gone thru 10 ipods at least. Thank God I sell them lol.

Weight as of August 31st: 351lbs. My next target weight loss is 340 (lmao)

Keep pumpin guys!!!!!

[smokeyd]
