Hey all. I'm Mario, I'm 26, male obviously, and pretty out of shape. I'm currently 281 lbs, and for the past..... maybe 4 years I've been enjoying loads of fast food binges, mixed with eating really really well for a few months, lol. However, my physical activity is pretty minimal. Shockingly, I can do about 6-10 pushups till my arms shake and I can't do anymore. I can bench, 20 lbs for endless amounts of time, 50 lbs for maybe 10 times, and 100 lbs maybe 1 or 2 times. I just quit smoking on New Years Eve, my diet is back to really balanced, thought out and very healthy. All meat I eat is organic and it's always baked never fried. Veggies are stir fried or steamed, and I am actually loving the new food plan I'm on.

The exercise is the BIG change, since I have eaten well over the years. My main concern is shocking my body with movement will cause some heart attack or something. Today I walked, jogged, ran, walked on the treadmill for 1 mile which took 22 minutes. Mostly walking, jogged 1 minute, ran 30 seconds, walked a few minutes, then jogged another minute and walked the rest. I guess I just wanted to say hi to the "livin large" section, because I plan on dropping at least 100 pounds . I cannot believe I let myself get to the point I'm at, but, I'm more motivated right now than I ever have been. Quit smoking cold turkey after 6 years, don't even think about fast food, and if I do, I can easily get it out of my mind. Well, just saying whats up, and, I'd appreciate any tips, good "livin large" exercise ideas, or anything else.
