"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

long story short, I have recently recovered from a severe inactive thyroid.

I used to be a healthy active guy who had a passion for working out. I weighed 220lb, 6' tall and now I am close to 290lb.

I became pretty lazy but now I am totally determined. Gaining weight effects ones life in the outermost negative way and I have hyped myself in missing my previous self to become determined.

I have been looking at the vault but I need help picking a good effective/fast diet and workout plan.

as far as info on myself, I can gain and lose weight fast. I gain muscle pretty rapidly. I used to workout quite a bit but I cannot recall what I used to do that worked. I am almost 20 and go to college.

I do want to take this seriously and post pics so that it can be help to others but I need some guidance from the great minds on this board.

thanks
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Cut out all carbs for now and eat Fat+protein, check karmas thread.

Here is a little more info, this is the anabolic diet:

http://stronglifts.com/tag/anabolic-diet/


You'll also want to workout with free weights two or three times a week, use the where to start thread or stronglifts 5x5.

Cardio should be low intensity at first, something like 30 minutes brisk walking every morning.

Start a log.
