Tips for setting fitness goals:
Set realistic goals. A lot of small steps add up to big results.
Use a 6 - 12 week time frame for best results. It’s hard to be motivated toward a date that is a year or more in the future.
Enter your body measurement and lifting progress and pics at least once a week so you can see how you are doing. Measure often!
Let others know about your goals so you will have some peer pressure pushing you towards reaching them in time.
Don’t get discouraged by a few setbacks. Just pick yourself up and stick to your program.

Start: 221 lb.

Highest I’ve ever been is 242. Lowest, in the near past, is 189. Goal is 140-160, we shall see.

I know how to do this, I’ve done it before. And life is somuch better when you’re healthy, when you’re acheiving your goals, when you’re not feeling bad about yourself all the time.

I know how to do it. More fruits and vegetables. Sugary, fatty treats sparingly. Several small meals a day. Lots and lots of water. Eat from home. Lots of cardio. Strength training several times a week.

So let’s freaking do it!
