but, does anyone know of any good websites that will basically put together a diet plan for me based on what I am trying to achieve? My problem is that I can eat a lot and not gain a pound and so, for all my life, 'watching' what I eat has been a non issue. I work out with some frequency (and would like to do more) but I want to match it with a clearly defined daily menu/diet that I can just do without sitting down for a couple of hours every sunday and putting it together for the week. so:
1. I apologize if someone posted something like this in the past... I did a quick search and didn't find anything (I know it is annoying getting the same questions over and over...)
2. I am about 6 2, 172 and would like to get up to a fairly muscular 180-185.

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Anabolic Diet
Nobody's going to buy, prepare and serve the meal to you on a silver platter if that's what you're looking for.
It's basically high fats, high protein, low carbs through the week and the opposite on weekends.
If you're like most people you get way too many carbs already in your diet. Carbs are everywhere and they're cheap. If you choose the anabolic diet or any other muscle building diet, it's going to take some work to get those high ratios of fats and proteins. I struggle just to keep my fats and proteins at 30% each. Sometime in the next few weeks, once I get a new strength training routine worked out, I'm switching to the anabolic diet but it's going to be tough.

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: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I agree Minu, though I'm not sure what "eyebrowy" means. I love how you make up words though

I am 34 years old, married and a father of a 2.5 year old. They are the motivators for me to reach my goal. I started the new journey on 8/21/06 @307 lbs and as of June '08, I have lost around 108 lbs. I have been able to keep 100 lb weight loss since Sept. '07. What keeps me on track is the Traineo community, vision of a healthy and fit future and the mini-goals below. *GOAL 1 = 244 lbs, Date = 2/15/07 Date Met = 2/7/07 *GOAL 2 = 229 lbs, Date = 3/22/07 Date Met = 3/30/07 ________________________ *GOAL 3 = 199 lbs, Date = 6/30/08 Date Met = 6/5/08 *GOAL 4 = 185 lbs, Date = 09/30/08 Date Met = TBD (185 is my "ultimate" goal. Then build muscle.)
Hobbies/Interests: Baseball, White Sox, bowling, WII, Xbox 360, PSP, XM, Opie and Anthony radio show, Ron and Fez radio show, variety of music, working out, running.
Personal Records: 5K - 26:18 (4/14/08-8:29/mile pace) 10K- 54:56-9/16/07-(8:43/mile pace) 10 Mile Run - CXLD due to injury Marathon - 10/12/08
Advice: - Set a Deadline: "A goal is a dream with a deadline - Napolean Hill." - Set Mini Goals - They help you accomplish small milestones on your way to the "ultimate" goal. - Track your progress. - Plan everything out. Daily workout routines, meals, etc. - Be patient. Your goals will eventually be met, if you work hard.

Nice new picture Fred. I do remember seeing an older picture of you when you had glasses and were bigger. Do you have a b4 and after gallery? I'd like to use that as inspiration.

It means, "Yes, yes, my friend", (who is masuline, as there's two words for "friend", masc. and fem.).
