Looking for Progress Partners!

Hello All,

Well, I'm trying to get myself back in great shape after few years of apathy and a bunch of injuries, including some surgery. I don't have much to lose, so the pounds come off slow and it's tough to see results quickly. I came to MFP after meeting some people who dropped some serious weight (like 100's of pounds) through this program and the support from the community. I'm looking to get the same experience out of it. I have a terrible habit of getting off to a great start, and then screwing myself over. I'm hoping I can meet some people with like minded goals to help me stick with it this time.

About Me: Well, I'm a middle school lacrosse coach (Go Dragons!) and student working on my Masters in Journalism. I also do some freelance copywriting and editing on the side. I'm originally from Manhattan, but moved to St. Petersburg (Florida) in 2002 for college. I got a degree in Political Science and played on the Div II lacrosse team. Between work, the gym, and class, I really don't find that much time for fun. That being said, I love to read, play with my Aussie Shepherd Adelaide, and go to concerts or ball games.

Stats:
- 28 Year Old Male, 5'7"
- CW: 167
- GW: 155
- CBF%: 17%
- GBF%: 10%
- BMR: 1766
- TDEE: 2737
- Target Calories: 2190

Exercise Schedule:
- Walking Dog (3-5 Miles, 1-2 Hours, Daily)
- CrossFit MetCon Workouts (High Intensity, 10-45 Minutes, 3x Week)
- CrossFit Olympic Lifting Workouts (Heavy, Full Body, 2x Week)
- Lap Swimming (Breast Stroke, 20-30 Minutes, 1/2 Mile, 2x Week)
- Road Cycling (Moderate Intensity, ~1 Hour, 10-15 Miles, 2x Week)

Using Scooby, I have set my calorie deficit for 20% below my TDEE, which is configured for moderate exercise. I didn't figure in walking the dog, since it's the offseason right now and I'm sitting down studying most of the day.

Everything look good?

Again, I'm looking to become a part of a community, so please add me if you would like to help me, or want to let me help you!

Thanks for reading,

Chris
