When I Started:
Aug, 2006
How I Started:
I took weight lifting classes in highschool and ended up being the strongest person in my actual class but I wasn't doing any cardio or eating well then so once I finished the class, all the muscle I gained lost its tone and I got much fatter. Reaching at scale tipping 285lbs in 2004. I took two years of and once I got to college in '06 i really started to hit itt hard and now i'm down to 185 and aiming for 155 by Feb of 09 so i can compete in a local toughman contest and to be able to say I am in the best shape in my life.
Why I Love It:
Because of the overall LIFTERS HIGH i get before, during and after a workout, its so intense it makes me want to workout 7days but i know i need rest so i sometimes fight the desire to better myself
How I Stay Motivated:
Being a personal trainer gives me the chance to study the human body and to know how it can be pushed and how it should perform and knowing that I'm still not all that I can be pushes me to out-do myself everyday.

Excellent progress and life change. Congrats. I bet you never look back now, always up and forward!
Much respect.
Thank you for the comment, I just give it my 110% and can't wait to finish so I can officially help others.
Best of luck, and I'm sure your gf would love to use that photo as art!
Thanks. My trainer said I'm still holdin my baby fat lol. That made me feel like i'm 14 again. He said everything will start to come off in a year or two once i'm fully "mature". Everyone has told me that so I guess I"ll just wait and see:)
Thanks Joshua Im happy to hear that. Funny thing...just as you were sending me this comment I was telling the same thing to someone else here lol. Its great we all find motivation from one another thats what we are here for.
