RangerUpbitchupdated Motivation Level from 10/10 to 10/10 and said: "I'm back, I'm not even getting sore anymore"
I was 190 pounds. I don't think I have any with my shirt off because I was embarrassed I wasn't extremely obese, but I definitely had a layer of chubb all over. This was shortly after my knee surgery. I weighed 197 pounds at my heaviest.

Goal (Long):
I'm a certified Crossfit trainer and I want to establish a small business training a few clients. I will also want to maintain the free personal training I give to my most motivated Soldiers. Maintain what I have for performance right now. If I can make gains without losing or gaining muscle then so be it.
