<human>: Ok, here's the quick and dirty version of my story.  First of all, I just found this subreddit tonight and it's exciting to see how many people have found inspiration from the success of others.  I'm excited to have found a place to share my journey.

About me:  I am a 27 year old former Division 1 FCS football player (offensive line).  After my playing days ended, I got a bit lazy and packed on about 50 lbs.  I'm still strong and have a lot of muscle mass left over, but I need to lose some lbs.  Other than improving my health and getting more energy (obvious reasons), I am sick and tired of not being able to buy clothes at any store other than big and tall shops - and that's if I'm lucky -- not many options for a 6'4'' overweight endomorph/mesomorph hybrid.  Also, I've noticed that my overall confidence has taken a hit recently.  I'm usually very outgoing but in the last few months, not so much.  

My goal is to get down to around 270 or 280 while keeping most of my lean mass.  At that weight, I would be fairly lean and be able to enjoy life more.  Honestly I'm not super worried about the number on the scale, and more about my body comp.  My other goal is to get to 14-16% body fat.

I finally broke down and bought a nice elliptical for my house so there is absolutely NO excuse not to get a massive amount of cardio in.  I'm active now, but it's time to fix my diet and kick the workouts into overdrive.  I plan on starting a split routine with 40 minutes of interval work in the morning (fasted), and 40 minutes of lower intensity work before bed, 6 days a week.  I'll also lift weights 3 times a week.  Crazy?  Maybe.  Doable?  I think so.  Anyway, I'll be back with before pics and probably more after a month in.  Sorry for the long post, but it's a start!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
