[Mark A Anderson]

I would first like to thank everyone for there help. I have only been training for 12 weeks and love it. I was 260 pounds in November. I have lost 47 pounds sence then and feel so much better. I am 5'6 and 213 pounds. I am doing 5 days of Cardio, 40mins 10 degree incline at 3.5 MPH. I am lifting weights 3 times a week, and slowly changing my diet. My diet before was very bad. Get up at 7:30 skip breakfast, eat lunch at 11:00 snacks and chips from 2-4:00. Eat dinner about 8:00. Now my day looks like this. Wake up at 7:30, eat 4-6 egg whites go to work at 8:15 eat 1/2 cup oatmeal with cinamon and spenda, 11:00 eat grilled chicken breast sandwich and steamed vegs. or grill chicken salad with lite Italion dressing. 2:00-3:00 1/2 cup oatmeal. 5:00 can of tuna. Workout at 6:00-7:00. 8:00 dinner grilled chicken,lean steak,or broiled fish. In bed at 12-1am. I also take a mult-vitamin 2 daily and fish oil twice daily (7:30am and 6:00pm) As of right now I do not take any other supplements. I read on here about people drinking a pre and a post workout shake. Can anyone give me any information or ideas on where to research them? Web sights? What is the differance and what are there benifits. Thanks alot
