Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bloodstone Press" data-source="post: 3930018" data-attributes="member: 12468">My biggest problems are: 1. Not going to the gym regularly 2. poor diet. I'm in better shape now than I was last year at this time, but I haven't lost a pound. Back in Sept. I was hitting new personal records in weight lifting, but then I stopped going as much and so I've dropped off on the weight to avoid an injury.  The biggest change for me this year has been the addition of vitamins and fiber supplements to my diet. After getting sick a few months ago, I did a careful analysis of my diet and found I wasn't getting nearly enough vitamins or fiber and was getting way too many carbs.  I'm about to move a lot closer to my job and there is a gym right across the street from where I'll be living, so I hope that I'll be a able to get back into the habit of going to the gym 3-5 times a week instead of 1-2 times like I've been doing lately.  Where I'm at: 5'6", 195 lbs. (34" waist, 44" chest)  Where I'd like to be: I'm not so worried about "weight" as I am fitness. I do a lot of weight training so my muscle-to-fat-ratio is important. Waist size is also important, as I am slowly outgrowing my pants... So I'd like to drop at least 2 inches off my waist. Exercise: When I'm going to the gym regularly, I spend 1 -2 hours there and do a lot of push-ups, bench pressing (flat, incline and decline), military pressing, and butterflies (on a machine). I also do a lot with my back (rowing motions, pull-ups, etc.). I also do several exercises for my abs including crunches, leg lifts and sit ups on a decline bench. This past year I've also added some Cardio to my workout routine. I usually spend 10 minutes on a stationary bike and burn about 100 calories (according to the machine, which could be wrong).  As long as I can go to the gym at least 3 times a week and control my diet, I should be fine… I’ll keep you all posted on  how well I do at that.</blockquote>
