Well Im 25, and Im 6'4'' around 290 LBS and for the last 3 years I have been that weight. but recentley I have been bench pressing for a week and the results are just outrages.. My Biceps are really growing fast. Now after bench pressing only about 120 LBS I heard Chocalate Milks builds Muscle? so I have been drinking a little of that.

I eat alot of Animal protein which I know can be bad. but in only a week Ive lost 2 LBS. My wife said my face is slimmer. and I quit lifting for 2 days but I didnt want to go back to my own poor lifestyle of Burgers and no exercise. Im watching alot of Jack Lalanne Video's as he motivates me.

But to anyone who thinks they cant do it... stop thinking that because you can. Its just really hard sometimes. I would get motivated whatever works for you. My goal weight is 240 LBS, I plan on acheving that.

Thanks guys!

You did the most important first step, you "nike-ed"it, or you did it. Keep it up! And since I'm an avid cyclist some hearty "cow bell" for you!!
