Hey guys I'm new to JM and pretty much any type of health/fitness forum.I am a 29yr old Hispanic male and a father of 4 beautiful kids.I stand 5' 11" and weigh 270lbs.I am looking for a complete change in the way I look and feel about myself.I have gained 70lbs of unhealthy weight.In 2008 I was walking around at 200lbs in fairly decent shape and some noticeable mass.I was working out 5 days a week and was on my way to having the body I had always dreamed of but slowly I just stop going and eventually fell off completely.There was times in between now and then that I tried to get back on but never stayed consistent.Well now i am just tired of being unhealthy and out of shape and am ready for a complete physical change.I work in chemical plants and refineries (construction).I am a Rigger by trade pretty much I work with the Cranes.My job can be fairly demanding physically and takes its toll on me alot more than some of my co-workers who are 75-100 lbs lighter than me.Dont get me wrong though I can sure hold my own for my size and have been told that by many.Still I know I can do so much better and feel so much better doing it.Not to mention the greatness of just being healthy,happy etc.My goal is to be 190-200lbs solid mass.At 5'11" that's a fairly good size of mass.I would appreciate any tips,pointers on dropping weight and putting on mass.Thanks for reading and hope to get to meet some new ppl on here.

Mr.Big, thanks and yea I have definitely started working at the root of my problem these past couple of weeks now its just a matter of sticking with it and putting in the hard work.

Good, stick with it and when your around 15% b-fat, then you can start looking into using some gear to help you out if you so choose. In the mean time learn as much as you can here, there's a ton of info here to read up on.
