Good luck brother! I’m new and don’t have much in the way of advice but I’ll be following along and rooting for you.

Last night was back and shoulders. Not going to give sets and reps each time. I normally do 4 sets with 8-12 reps, depending on the exercise and how I feel along with the weight.
Seated Cable Rows
Lat Pull Down (Wide Grip)
Reverse Grip Lat Pull Down (Shoulder Width)
EZ Bar Up Row
Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise (iso)
Dumbbell Front Lateral Raise (iso)
Back Fly Machine
Side Oblique Crunch on Back Extension Machine
25 Minutes of cardio on elliptical (up from 20 minutes) (speed is always around 3.3/3.6)
I realized when I left the gym I was out of meal prep at the hotel, and time constraint would keep me from buying and cooking more, so I got a grilled chicken sandwich from Wendy's. Did not eat all of the bread. No fries or drink from there, just a sandwich.

Saturday no gym diet still on par for the day. Did get some sirloin burger and cooked it to replace some chicken meals. Want to see if adding red meat into the diet will make any changes.

"RANT ALERT"
Feel like my balls are being kicked here. At work I get no support, just bullying. Most of the same at home. Felt like if I started a log here, it would be like others where people would put in their two cents, make comments, show support etc. Instead, I am ignored here online as in real life. Somedays I truly feel cursed. That having been said, the log will go on and so will my training and everything included in it. My father told me the other day that men do not support each other, it's part of the "man' code". Being autistic I have never understood social behavior cues and personalities very well. Guess this is one more for the list. I want to support others, male or female. I don't see where being supportive or giving a hug makes you weak. And if that is the case, then I am one weak mofo. Is what it is.

Hey HD.... I hear ya.
The Brotherhood will be able to help you and give info but you have to let the process work. This thread is only 3 days old and you have had 5 different posts of encouragement and diet info. You have to get your posts read regularly by doing what you are doing now. Update everyday or multiple times a day. That gets more eyes on it, hence gets more help... believe in the process and it will work. Guys on here are very encouraging. Nobody on here will flame you for putting in the work you are doing. A lot of guys will get motivation off of your post. I know it gives me extra to read what you are going through(work, family, etc...).
My only 2 suggestions to you are that you get your bmr with a calculator online and get your macros calculated(I didnt see anything specific in your intro). Use it to get you P,C and F dialed in. Also your daily caloric intake. Dont cut it so far down that you stall your metabolism. Work from a deficit of about 500 a day at first. That way you wont kill your muscle while losing fat. You have to eat to make your body work.
Second, do some reading on the right diet FOR YOU. It is important to figure out what kind of lifestyle you can live with your work schedule and everything else you got going on. If a diet is too strict or hard to accomplish with your schedule(life). I promise you're going to fail.
I hope this helps you and gives you some "food" for thought as you embark on this long journey. I like to say to myself all the time. I didnt just wake up one day and weigh 345 lbs. I got there over a period of time. I'm not going to be 240 overnight either. Just keep grinding. If you mess up on a meal, just get right back on the horse.
Unleash the BEAST you want to be brother.
It's in there.... just feed it!!!!
Good luck.

Hd,
Oh yeah, as far as figuring out your BF....
You can do the dexa scan that is about as accurate as you can get. The others are calipers(to hard to get right) or water submersion. Google search your area for those different types.
You may want to get some extra motivation(if you didnt already have enough).
Enter a body transformation contest. It may help push you to a specific goal or time frame.
I know one just starting. Get motivation and maybe some gear out of it. Just a thought, you may not need it.
