Hey guys.
Let me introduce myself- I'm a 23 year old white male from Southern California. I have been in the hiring process for a few local police departments and relized that I need to lose weight to get into shape.
I have always been an overweight kid and I have been up to about 265 at my peak. My usual weight was around 245-250. I started working out and trying to eat a bit better early in 2007 but started my strict low carb diet on 8-14-07. I am not a big veggie eater but have loved meat so I knew that low carb is the only way for me to go.
I have been exercising (not enough, lol) but for the first two weeks I was at about 20-30 carbs a day intake. At the start I was 243 and at the two week mark I am 230. Some DI's at the academy recommended that I get down to 200-210. I plan to get down to 210 since I will also be losing at the academy.
For the most part, the weight has come off quick but every few days I will gain a pound (no cheating), must be water? But I don't get discouraged and keep being strict. I've got about 20 lbs to go and would like to be ready for the November academy.
Well, thanks for listening!
