Up and Ready for More!

Hey! I'm a 19 year old guy, and I'm back for round 2! I used to weigh 205 lbs, lost 20 pounds recently and now I'm at 185 lbs approximately. I have been slacking off for nearly two months, and I think it is time to start working out/exercising again. My goal is to lose more pounds, look slimmer and fitter, so that I can improve my life, my body, how I look, and most importantly, my health.

The day it begins - Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Current Weight : 185 lbs
Age : 19
Gender : Male
Height : Approximately 5'8
Goal : (Unsure, but I will keep losing until I need to stop; what's a good weight for a 19 year old, male?)

I will post the workout summary of everyday, so that I can reflect back on what I'm doing and feel good, and find out if I'm procrastinating or whatever.

Congrats on round 2! Best of luck.

As for what is a good weight, I think that can vary a lot depending on body type and muscle mass. Especially if you're looking to add muscle. Nothing is better than the mirror test though.

Keep us updated.

2:34 AM : I am done for today, well yesterday. I felt that I didn't work out as hard as I wanted to, mainly because while I was working out, I felt extremely hungry, and as if I had not one bit of energy left, you won't believe it. So, I stopped doing my cardio at 30 minutes and went to eat at home. I hope it's not like that again. I did do 40 minutes of strength training. Oh well, there's always another day - Tomorrow.
