This is a Pie

My name is Brandon, my friends call me Pie. I suppose partly due to the weight and the other half to the butchering of Gillespie. Anyhow I’m about to turn 22 years old in April, I’m a hair over 6 foot tall and weigh currently 306.8 pounds. not my overall high but close enough to it. For years I’ve had issues with my weight, the lose a bit, gain a bit more that usually goes with the failed attempts to lose weight. I’m a college student and love to make allusions to video games and movies. But onward to the reason for this!

I’ve found that over the past 7 years of attempts to shed the weight I’ve discovered the core  of my failures. Lack of not really having an outlet to keep track of the attempts and lost weight, no feed back on progress and no heart in it. But here I am correcting it and putting out the will to do it. I’ve got some modest goals I suppose. I’m looking at a total end weight of 190. The first major goal along the way is to weigh in at 270 by June 2011, followed by weighing in by December 2011 at 240. Just two goals I’d like to see a reality to make it easier for me and my girlfriend to get certifications to SCUBA dive and sky dive.

Diet and exercise wise I’ve been using a relatively low carb diet only eating roughly 50 grams of carbs a day, but plenty of protein, veggies and fresh fruits and water. At the gym I’ve been focusing mainly on cardio, doing 2 hours with an hour and a half split between a treadmill and elliptical. The rest of the time is saved for weight lifting.
