Just wanted to introduce myself and share a little...
Im Shaun. Im 23 years old and i feel like Ive hit a wall and seem to be regressing as opposed to progressing so i came online for a little motivation/help.
Im 5'8 and currently weigh 160 pounds. A couple years back i was tipping the scales at around 195 pounds or so and was in absolutely terrible shape. My step dad started taking me to the gym and i was instantly hooked. The weight dropped off slowly and then even more dropped off when i changed my diet.
The past year and a half Ive lost all interest in lifting but started running instead. I now enter in 10km races and last month i ran my first half marathon in 1:31:13.
Last summer i was walking around at 155 pounds but have gained 5 back. I know 5 pounds doesnt seem like a lot but it is to me. For the past while ive been running, lifting or biking almost everyday for at least an hour and yet it seems like i cant drop a pound.
I come home after work or school and cant help but shovel terrible food into my body until i feel full.
Im setting a goal of losing 10 pounds. I want to hit 150 pounds and preferrably by the end of August.
I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get there but i guess im just looking for that extra motivation and push to get myself away from the sugar/junk food/large portions again.
Any advice on workouts/nutrition or anything else along those lines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to check this out.

spend some time with the stickied threads in on topic, nutrition and exercise -there's a lot of good info and tips there - then after reading - do ask questions on what you don't understand...
