When I was younger I was always really active. After playing Rugby for a bit I found myself injured and let it completely defeat me. Adapting a sedentary life style (in college) + drinking +eating horrible food = me over doubling my body weight and loosing a lot of muscle.

I went through phases where I'd be more active and lose weight and then stop and gain it all back.

One day I just kind of woke up and realized that I'd lost myself and physically couldn't do the things I use to (like power cleans) so I turned my life around.

80+ lbs down in the first year, aiming to beat that in the second year.

It helps me find discipline and purpose.
