Robert > Do you need to lose weight? Is that one of the goals?
I didn't *think* that I did and weight loss to this extent was not
expected.
Robert > How tall are you? Do you know your bodyfat percentage? (I ask
because if you're already pretty lean, the weight loss may not all be
fat.)
I am 5'8" with broad shoulders and small hips. I guess I'm a smallish
but classical mesomorph. When I graduated from college in 1989, I
weighed 132 and was in perfect condition. Today I am 149.5 (as you're
aware) and, though I didn't realize it, could stand to lose few pounds.
Compared to your average Joe, most folks considered me "lean" at 156.
But I'm not worried about the weight loss.
Robert > I am surprised you haven't "tanked" by now with such low
calories.
Me too. I'm shocked.
Jim > Now exercise. I have to start with this. I primarily use machines
over free weights. Properly designed machines are superior,
Robert > I could argue that, but won't ;-)
I wish we could. I will say this: It's hard to find a properly designed
machine. Most are ridiculously poorly engineered, even those made from
solid materials. (Sorry David! I'll stop now!)
