Hey people, my name is Dustin and I am 24 (aug will be 25). A few days ago my wifes great grandmother told me "you sure are getting fat!". (Don't you just love old people so honest) So, I decided to change all that! I am 5'7 220 and don't know about my body fat. I don't really think I want to know.

I used to be in pretty good shape in High School but I blew out my knee my senior year and never really went back to the gym. I got a trainer and will be starting tuesday. I wanted to jump right in and get after it but he said we should start at lifting three times a week and cardio everyday for about 30mins. I think I will stick to the elipical (know clue how to spell that) for now I still have a few knee problems. I will talk to the trainer about supplments and listen to anyones suggestions. I will try hydroxycut hardcore and Liquid Whey Protein, right know that is all I am set on. I will get back in a journal if anyone is interested with the work out plan and weights.

Wish me luck I have a little baby boy on the way and I don't want people to ever say his dad is fat!

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
