yes, I misread it. Either way, he shouldn't be waiting, he needs to start training NOW.

I agree and will start training. I've been offered a lot of good advice that I didn't know about. I never realized how important muscle was.

weights, weights, weights - Various exercises, and you will naturally tone. Do a Plank Challenge every day - start with a low second amount - like 20 or 30 - then build yourself up. Don't forget to have good form and keep your core muscles tight as you are doing it. Congratulations on the weight loss!

I think this post is done. I've received a lot of good advice, learned a lot of things I had no clue about, and I am motivated to get this done right. I will take everyone's advice and start working on improving my body and health. I realize that my intention to get to 170 or even 165 was unhealthy. I hope I can prove to myself and everyone that I can do this. Perhaps one day I can finally be proud of my accomplishments and show off my new body without being ashamed.

I recommend the two books: Bigger Leaner Stronger, and Starting Strength. They have everything you need to know (what to do, and how to do it, respectively) for probably two years. Then you can move on to other things.

^ These are both excellent programs.

I had something like that so I lost 10 more pounds and it firmed up and went away. No excersize or weight lifting, just time.
