no pictures yet as I am also waiting on my armor, but I'll join the club.
I'm male, 5'11' and 235lbs. I was at about 250 6 months ago when I went for my Merchant Marine license physical and found out I was having some blood pressure issues.. they wanted to put me on meds, but I flat out refused until I tried some alternatives. The next day I quit drinking caffeine and cut my soda intake drastically.. I'd probably cut it all together, but I like my Ginger ale and Ginger beer too much to quit entirely. I then started planning out a way to excercise that I would stick to as I get bored easily with gyms and I spend every other 3 weeks on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico, . through some trial and error I've come up with a plan that works with my schedule, we'll see how that goes . currently I'm alternating between jogging 2-3 miles on day one and rowing 6000 meters on a rowing machine on day two
on the food side, I've been a vegetarian for 11 years.. not a healthy eating one, but a vegetarian nonetheless, all I'm doing there is trying to eat more fresh foods and less junk..which can be difficult on the ship, but luckily the baker isn't that good right now so the desserts aren't that tempting
as for my goals, the biggest one was the blood pressure, which is already down to reasonable levels, so no drugs for me, yay
after that I'd like to get down to the 200-220 range and see what happens after that..
