Exercise

A bit about working out. You can lose weight just by nutrition alone. I'm not trying to lose weight however. I'm attempting to lose fat and retain my muscle mass. For a nearly 300 lb guy, I would consider myself strong enough to handle myself in a fight needs be. Here is my workout for approx. the next 3 months.
