When I Started:
Jan, 2006
How I Started:
I was obese due to illness and decided not to let the illness get the best of me. Being 400lbs and living a sedentary lifestyle was so damaging to my already fragile state of health, I had so many problems weighing down on top of my disability including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart problems and borderline diabetes. Through positive thinking and exercise I have greatly improved the quality of my life, I am now down to 205lbs from 400 and I didn't ask God for help. I didn't get Gastric bypass, no surgeries, No steroids. I just changed my lifestyle, changed my way of thinking, got up off my ass and went to the gym. You can do it too.
Why I Love It:
I'm addicted to the feeling after a workout it's a great high for me,If I hit the gym feeling low I always leave feeling refreshed. My only regret is that I did not find it earlier in my life.
How I Stay Motivated:
The mirror
BB Accomplishments:
Successfully losing weight while gaining muscle.

Why I like this video: Shine Lyrics:
if I'd listened everything that they said to me, I wouldn't be here!
and if I took the time to bleed from
all the tiny little arrows shot my way,
I wouldn't be here!
the ones who don't do anything are always
the ones who try to put you down
and you could spend your entire life walking around
in the nowhere land of self doubt
'coz when you start to doubt yourself the
real world will eat you alive!
it's time, it's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
it's time, it's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
'coz when you start to doubt yourself the
real world will eat you alive!
and you know it's true!
I'm talking to you: hero time starts right now! Yeah, hero time, yeah,
time to shine, hey, hero time!
if ya think you've got 100 years to mess around: you're wrong!
this time it's real, y o u r t i m e i s n o w . . . it's hero time!
Yeah, hero time,hey, time to shine, yeah, hero time, yeah!

hard times are gettin' harder, the liars are acting strong
you better get a grip on yourself or you won't be around too long
it's hero time, hey, time to shine, yeah,
hero time, yeah, hero time, yeah!
it's hero time, it's hero time, time to
shine, shine, shine, shine, shine!
oh yeah! (X3)
no such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time
no such thing as down time
all you got is life time... go! 'coz it's hero time, 'coz it's time to
shine
'coz it's time to go, go, go! yeah, hou!
when you're gone, you're so gone (X2)
you've got it now, it's time to go
hero time starts right now! yeah, aha..! ...change it!
I got grace in times of friction, I got truth in times of fiction
I've got no time for the hype... suicide!? I'm not that type...
I got no time for drug addiction, no time for smoke and booze
too strong for a shortened life span, I've got no time to lose!
It's time to shine, yeah, it's hero time, yeah, it's hero time, yeah,
yeah!
when you start to doubt yourself the
real world will eat you alive! yeah!
you could spend your entire walking
around, coward: or you can get up!
get up, get up, get up, get up! it's time to shine! yeah...

Awwww...thanks so much Ken! I wish you the very best Christmas (kinda late, huh?) and the best NEW YEAR yet!!! Your muscles just amaze me every time I see you! Such motivation!
And what hard work that must have been but how rewarding in the end! You probably feel like you can conquer the world. :) The worst part for those people are the long-term medical issues they now face in addition to the returned weight.
