When I Started:
Feb, 2008
How I Started:
After losing all that weight, I started to get some actual definition. I've NEVER had definition. I like it....a LOT! So I decided to commit a year of my life to developing my body into the one I've always wanted but was too afraid to try to earn. I have now decided to extend that original 12 months into a 45 month plan thru the end of 2011.
Why I Love It:
I love the challenge of pushing my body's limits to new levels, striving to set new PRs every workout and the changes in my body, mind & soul as a result.
How I Stay Motivated:
I want "that body" and I'm determined to have it!

My Old Life The Clothes Don't Lie
This was me in January, 2008. I weighed about 270 and had been overweight for the better part of 20+ years. I decided to make a change in my life when a local fitness center sponsored a 12 week "Biggest Loser" program. I started my new life on February 4th, 2008.  Me wearing my favorite BB.com T-shirt at 6 weeks of training & at 52 weeks. I've put on almost 40lbs in 6 months and still have wiggle room in the 32" waist!

In replying to a thread in the O35 Forum I posted my daily nutrition with macros/etc. Someone correctly pointed out that I had miscalculated my macros due to not taking into account the cals in those macros. Upon recalculating them I was a bit stunned:

My Day:

Middle of the night snack...

You have some impressive stats and such in your journal! :) My Mentzer HIT is growing and evolving with my understanding of it--I'm hoping to put an end to these "false starts" and REALLY start getting my act together! But it's taken me this long, I think, to realize how much I really have to put on the table to make it work... training to and beyond failure is new for me...
