When I Started:
Nov, 2007
How I Started:
Since I was a small child, I have always had issues with my weight. I was told that I was "stocky" and "big boned". I never really cared about my weight until...
November 20th, 2007 was the day I decided to change my life. That morning I was looking in the mirror at myself and I was disgusted with what I was seeing. I was ashamed that I had let myself get to being nearly 300 pounds. I was ashamed that I had become a person that is living a unhealthy lifestyle
Ok, that is partially true. However, here is the real reason. I was trying to talk to this girl at the time. She said to me point blank, "You can't be serious. You're way too (colorful metaphor) fat to be even seen out in public with me."
Needless to say I was devastated. It was like a switch that was buried deep down inside the pit of my belly turned on. That I promised myself that I will:
*Never again will I be fat.
*Never again will anyone make snap judgments on my looks, either good or bad.
*Never again will I let myself down and fail the most important person, myself.
This is the code that I live by every single day. Each time I get lazy and try to make excuses to not go work out. I think about those three commandments.
It's not going to happen. Not now, not never. I will not lose… Ever.
Why I Love It:
I enjoy working out, because I like the results I see. Unlike most things in life. You can see results the same day.
How I Stay Motivated:
By looking in the mirror. It is amazing how the body changes over time. I remember not being able to do one pull-up. Now, I can do over 15. Everyday is another chance to allow my self to set and proceed to break any goals I choose to set.
I also enjoy looking at the great Body Space profiles. If I can spark motivation in just one person, I believe my mission is complete.

Went out last night to a buffet that was 90% meat. Pork, beef, chicken, and fat. Oh yeah! I ate a lot and my stomach loved it!
*Ahem* I hit the legs hard today. Have a great weekend everyone!
Cawiau, is what bodyspace should be about. While we may all have different reasons for what is considered inspiration. I believe this has turned out to be nothing but a personality contest. The same top 6 are listed again..
Even though he has experienced a high number of setbacks, he still continues on the path. His determination and dedication is top notch. Cawiau, shows that you don't need to be ripped to the bone, or be in the top 6 to actually be one the strongest members here.
When I first started, this was the first profile I looked at. After 1 and a half years of training, I STILL inspire to look like this dude. Very impressive and that's real talk.

Every holiday, I hear the same thing over and over again. However, before I get into that. I need to update you all. I tried upping my carbohydrates for one day and I didn't like it. My weight loss stalled due to my reduction in calories, so I upped my calories to 2900. Now, I am feeling...
Man, you've come such a long way. Wish I had kept up with you a couple years ago. Back at it again though.
Anyways, looking fantastic man. Keep it up and you'll be where you want to be in no time!
Hi Antonio...had visited in a while..the new progress pics are gr8t!! U are really staying focused..but I have one quick question...why are u doing so much carb loading?? You can PM, just curious.
elaborate? when you say load creatine 3 days on 3 days off do u mean take it 2dosages a day for 3 days then go off for three days nd soforth or do u mean loading as in 5 dosages a day for three days?
Taking a few days off of work to get some projects done in the yard. It's going to be tough not to cheat too much this weekend. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get in the gym today. How's it going with you?
