hello all

hi all, my name is Tim, i am from Essex, blimey, sounds like an episode of blind date! anyway,i used to go down the gym 3 or 4 times a week a couple of years ago. an injury soon saw that my newly acquired home weights bench didnt get used.

now im aiming to get back into it.

i can now blow the dust off my weights bench and have a couple of mates, one who just recently joined on here, who are dedicated too. so between us im sure we could cunjure up the right routines and diets etc

just been reading a few posts on the forums, some top people on here and giving darn good advise too. guess ill have to spend a couple of days reading most of the content of the forum to build up my knowledge.

i will be looking to get into a good routine and diet to firstly lose a bit of belly weight, then to get a good routine and diet to build me up.

i am currently 22 years old, 5ft 10 and weigh 12 stone 4.

any pointers to start me off would be great, while i try and work out what food has which calories etc :?

Cheers
Tim

just an update

went running for two nights, my legs didnt half ache, so given it a break for a while, guess theyre not used to it

but joined back up at a gym, and now doing a 4 day a week routine down there

and the diet is going well, lost 5 pounds in a week, but now gradually putting weight back on through healty food and muscle

i feel a lot better with myself over the last week, because over the last week i have been eating hard and training hard - satisfaction is a good thing

just to let you know
