Hey all, Tim V. here! Down 75 with 10 more to go!

Just a little back story...One day I driving around about 2 years ago in my work truck I hit a series of bumps and well, my "man boobs" went crazy bouncing up and down. It was then that I needed to step on a scale to see how bad it was. I was always fit as I played sports my entire life. I did realize in that moment that I had let go of myself and something needed to be done.

A roller coaster is an understatement of what I have been through on this journey! I started at 250 and got down to 200 through very hard exercise routines and what I thought was "eating better" which turned out to be completely incorrect as I felt deprived of energy ALL the time. I later found out I was eating too little but never did my research to see how to eat properly to keep my energy levels up. Anyways I hovered around 200 for about 3 months and was really happy without myself as everyone at work noticed my weight loss as well as family and friends. However I still had a lot of fat on me!

I eventually over about 2 months went right back up to 225 like it was nothing! I was so upset when it finally dawned on me what I had done! I then went right back to how I lost the 50 lbs the first time and got back down to 200 in a couple months. However I then hit my plateau at 200 again! I was SO FRUSTRATED! I worked SO HARD to get past it and nothing worked. I tried eating less while working out harder and harder. NOTHING! I then gave up and went right back up to 215 while trying to "maintain" at 200! So finally, I decided to do some research and figure out what I was doing wrong. Through a lot of trial and error over the last 6-7 months. I now have the knowledge probably better then 50% of fitness trainers! I am by no means in shape like them [ yet ;-) ] but I know what I am doing works and is proven to work! I am not ready for a side by side that I am happy with yet, but I am down to 175 lbs and actively not TRYING to lose any more weight, but just fat! I will probably end up around 165 after all the fat is gone and hopefully with all the weight training I have and will be doing, I will maintain all my muscle I have built and continue to maintain along with my diet.

The diet is 100% the main thing and I never knew that at first until I really went to town on the research! MACROS MACROS MACROS!!!! If you don't know what they are, GET TO IT! Google these 5 letters, "IIFYM" and get to reading!

If you have any questions I will be glad to help you out! Feel free to add me as a friend along with my wife as she has come along with me for this journey herself with proven results!!!

Good luck to all and I wish you all the best!
