I have seen many of you putting up your success stories and telling about how this industry and sitting behind a computer all day has made you fat... I guess it is my turn.
To say I was obese is probably pushing it. But I was well on the way to a very unhealthy lifestyle. I was eating about once a day. Eating a lot of sugars and carbs. Very little protein. Here I am two years ago pretty much to the day at the June Internext.
I topped out at about 230. I am 6 foot so this is still not bad. But as we know muscle weighs more than fat and I was not carrying around much muscle at this time. I was about a 38 inch waist and growing. After I got back from this show I really started to get dedicated after seeing this picture and someone commenting on how round my face was getting. So enter the gym and I started reading just about everything I could get my hands on about eating better and working out properly. I was already playing Softball and soccer regularly so the Cardio was already there. My biggest problem was my eating.
Well it has been a long road and I have made it down to 180 after about two years. Now I am concentrating on putting on about 10 lbs of lean muscle and keeping myself healthy. I am in the best shape of my life and eating better than ever.
It is great to hear so many people on this board turning over a new leaf to get healthy. Keep up the good work!
