I'm just an average guy who wants to live a healthy lifestyle and lose a few pounds along the way. My goal is to weigh at 200 lbs and maintain that weight (with my build i can't go under !). Traineo is a great place if you're motivated and i am.

I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid.
I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy.
Got a blog rolling-

I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.

I've been interested in losing weight and gaining muscle here at traineo since late 2007. Its not until mid 2008 that i've actually started my training routine 5 days a week. Trying to get to under 19% body fat.

LOOKIN' FINE already, bassy. With some smart fueling I reckon your road to cut will be a short one.
Are you into boxing by any chance?
Let's see another round of pics in a month or so.

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I'll have to agree with Minu, Stitch and Derek...you're already in really good shape. I'd kill to look like you! How tall are you by the way?
Maybe you should concentrate a little more on building getting "cut" than actually losing weight? Like Minu said, you don't have far to go!

Seems like you're a good size for your height considering your muscle mass. Concentrate on a proper weight training program and/or body resistance exercises to help promote muscle definition rather than what the scale says. And don't let those voices in your head tell you you're chubby. You're too steps away from a six pack...AIN'T NOTHIN' CHUBBY ABOUT THAT!
