It's been a while guys !
The last time I posted was a month + ago. And so far I added a few things into my routine by eating healthier and began new exercises for the past month or so. I also began pushing myself doing push ups more often. Just a few months ago, I couldn't barely do a proper push up. And now I have set a goal to do 100 push ups a day when I'm not doing any resistance training. Although my push ups may be small for some of you health nuts out there, but hell, it's a big difference for me
:thumbsup:
I am feeling very happy now and my outlook on life is SOOO much better. Plus being at 182 lbs (180.7 this morning, but that's probably when I lost water weight anyways) as of today compared 223 since mid February of this year is a great journey. Furthermore, my brothers watched me change over the time and they had joined with me as well living a much more healthier life.
And now, I have to eat more to maintain my weight. So far I had added avocados, more fruits, veggies and fat free milk (500 mL every morning ) in my diet since then. What will be the magical number for my situation? for a moderately active individual =o. Currently I'm consuming 2200+~ Kcal of food a day
Now my next big thing for me is to eat more again and it's gonna be the next battle !
P.S. the thread sticky helped me alot

I was able to, miraculously to find one of my few pics when I was overweight. And also a recent pic when I was at Frisco with the family as before/after comparison :thumbsup:
Before 2009-Feb2010 223lbs
After : As of 8/22/2010 181 lbs
update: 8/19/2011 still at 181 , lost some fat and gain some muscle ;-P . I've started HIIT spinning and continuing with Strong lifts, got some great gains in the past year. It's all worth it :^)
update: 4/15/2012
I've added pull ups/chinups into my routine. went from 25 reps to 45 reps per workout starting this year. I'm happy with the progress. I added a little bit more protein into my diet to gain some muscle mass and then cut later after my school quarter. Right now I stand at 183-185 lbs morning weight.
My personal records so far:
Bench: 145 lbs (solo) Can't go any higher w/o a spotter so...it's a work of progress
Bench machine: 270 lbs
Squat free weight: 295 lbs
Squat/leg press machine: made a milestone couple of days 640 lbs, very happy with that.
Deadlifts: 315 lbs
Peanuts overhead: 55 lbs each arm 10x5
Chinups: 9x5 or 45 in a workout lols !
Push-ups: Max is a 100...hitting for 150 this month !
