My name is Jeff and I live in Madison, WI. About 3 months ago, I decided I wanted to get into 'naked shape'....lol.
I've never been 'noticably' overweight (all upper body, and hid it well), but I had been starting to get a gut and my face was poofing out a little. My Grandfather made a comment at Easter last year, because my 'pudge' was slightly visible through my tight shirt.
I'm 5'11" and have been around 180lbs for the past year or so. NOW, I'm 164.5 lbs and am showing some pretty decent definition. I never once had my shirt off in public last year, even all of the times I was out boating. Again, I was never overweight, just didn't like the way I looked. I've always been able to eat whatever I want, and not pack on as many pounds as most would.
My roommate works out everyday and is in pretty good shape. With him recently losing his drivers license, I found myself taking him to & from the gym almost everyday. One day, I finally decided that I want to change my lifestyle and focus on getting into great shape.
I joined a great gym (Anytime Fitness), went to Vitamin World and bought some Whey Protein and supplements, then COMPLETELY changed my diet. No more fast-food, bacon, or ANYTHING that's fatty.
My goal is to add bulk, where my roommates is to lose weight. He's 6'1", 228lbs. He'd like to be around 205. I started dieting about a month before I started at the gym. I workout M-Saturday, for about 60-90 minutes each morning. I've since lost 17 lbs, 2 inches on my waist, almost ALL of my gut and my arms are starting to get toned. I've basically lost all of my body fat and should now start GAINING weight, due to building muscle. My roommate knows more than most personal trainers I've spoken to, so having him as a workout partner ensures me that I'm doing the exercises correctly, and working on whatever specific muscle/area we're focusing on that day.
I'm hoping to get some input from you, with regards to a weekly menu. I cannot find a decent one online and the guy who signed me up at the gym says I need to be on a 3000 calorie diet and consume 1g of protein/lb I weight.
Any and all help in me creating a weekly meal schedule would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this (lengthy) post and I look forward to your input!
