Hey Alan,
Good job for trying to get down to a lower weight again. I have been going to the gym now for about 2.5 months. I actually have an appointment with a trainer tomorrow which I highly recommend, because this way he can look over my routine and change it as he sees fit so that I can get the most out of my work out. I was at 234.8 and now am at 226.4 and I still have about 20 more pounds to go, plus toning up a lot more. So definitely go with a trainer for a couple of times. I twill be worth it! Keep us informed!
Cheers,
Chad
