My road to 200 will be a little different than the others in the forums.
Most are trying to get their bodyweight over 200.
I'm trying to go the other way with my bodyweight, lose fat.
Not long ago I was well over 200 (I was obese)

My 200 pound goal is squats. 1 set of 20 reps.
I'm loosely following the workout from bodybuilding.com
My squat workouts will be every 3 days instead of M, W, F

After a very long break I'm back at it again.

I feel like I'm seeing good progress on my squats, so I'll continue to concentrate on that.
I will still be doing my treadmilling in my attempt to slim down.
I will also keep doing my regular lifting except for deadlifting.
After I get tired of squatting so much, I'll add deadlifting back in.

I still want to clean up my diet, so from now on I will be logging my food.
The last time I logged my food I ate much better.

Add another goal: Lose 2 inches of belly during the month of June.
I did so well last summer losing fat, about 4 inches in the waist.
Over the winter I put back on an inch.
I'm going to lose 2 inches this month.
I will measure it by my belt holes.

2 bananas then morning treadmill: 45 minutes

Vegetable fried rice, carrots, raisins, and more bananas throughout the day

2 bananas then evening squats: a couple warmup sets, then 105 x 20
This was pretty easy, I'll try more reps and more weight next time.

1/2 liter rice milk, 2 bananas, 1 scoop vega

Lots of bananas today, not enough veggies.
We had yellow bananas for sale here so I bought about 15-20 of them.

you'll see 200 pretty soon.

Glad to see you're keepin up with the weight loss.

good man!

If all goes well, in 57 days.

how did you come up with such a precise number?

I will add 5 pounds every workout.
In 19 workouts I will be at 200 pounds.
I will be squatting every 3rd day.
19 x 3 = 57

3 bananas before morning treadmill: 100 minutes, 3 mph, 10 incline
I had a big cup of coffee to this morning, I gotta give that crap up again.

Snacked on carrots raisins, and bananas all day.
Also some more coffee, I'm done with that stuff now.

3 bananas before evening treadmill: 100 minutes, 3 mph, 10 incline.

Vega, fruit, rice milk smoothie after treadmilling

Get a juicer and make vegetable juice to kick start your day ;D

I got a juicer a couple weeks ago, one that Jack Lalanne promotes.
Carrot and apple juice is good.

You are on top of things, exercise, diet...fantastic.

BTW - Jack Lalanne = my hero.

This morning I spent 60 minutes on the inclined treadmill

2 bananas and off to the gym.

I overslept a little bit, kept pushing the snooze, so I raised the incline a bit.
I think the coffee is out of my system now, gotta keep it that way.

After a couple warmup sets I did 115 x 25
I did an extra 5 again this workout.
One step closer to 200 x 20
