I've been around the John Stone forums for awhile now.. basically been frolicking around from time to time. The biggest problem recently is that back in August I was doing CKD. I seem to have given up and since then I barely worked out. That is about 2-3 months of inactivity. I've went from 215 pounds to 240! That is a big hike in weight in such a short period of time. So I figured it's time to really start getting serious about things.

I like the concept of a journal because it feels like you kind of have an obligation to show results to others and as a result, you receive motivation from other people congratulating your success. So... here I am now. I will not be doing CKD but rather a diet I assembled some time ago that is missing alot of key factors for it to be a good diet. But right now, I'd rather just back into the gym and start getting active again and start honing down the diet program until it'll help me to start acheiving my success.

My weight training program is similar than to John Stone's except I am also working out my lower-back (I feel pain there possibly because of increased weight).

I shall update this journal weekly with results and pictures(if I can find my webcam).

Without further ado, here are the details:

15-20 lbs a month is unrealistic. If you lose weight that fast it will be muscle tissue and organ tissue. A more healthier, smarter, and realistic weight loss per month would probably be from 8-10 lbs, thats if you lose two lbs a week. Also, i dont know if a whole carton of egg whites is really necessary. This is just my advice...good luck to you!

Actually given from the goals I wrote, they're about 8-10 pounds / month. :P

I'm using the egg whites for the protein basically. :)
