Hey everyone,

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.

- Shaun

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...
