I have always been overweight hell I was 10lbs. at birth, but ever since I saw the Incredible Hulk as a kid I wanted muscles.
I started working out during P.E. in 7th grade and truly feel in love with the iron but never followed a workout plan away from school.
By my freshman year I was 245lbs and wearing a 40 inch waist in pants. It wasn't till after my sophmore year when I could drive that I got a gym membership and managed to lose 30lbs during the summer.
I managed to keep the weight off my juinor year and then I started dating my wife and slacked off on working out and eating to much rice and gravy at her moms house, so be the end of my senoir year I was 245lbs but had some muscle to go along with it.
A year after I graduated I managed to lose the 45lbs although not the healthist way but I keep reading anything on diet and fitness.
In that time I was certifed through ISSA as a personal trainer, I didn't keep up my certs because in the early 90's there were not many gyms or clubs in my area, but I do love helping people any chance I get.
Through out the 90's my weight would go up and down.
In 2001 I finally relized I was carb sensitive and started following a more low carb aproach and noticed good results at this time I had hit my high of 310lbs and didn't even know it till I stepped on a scale at the gym.
At that point I got back on a good eating plan and dropped down to 245lbs. From 2002 to 2007 I kept my weight between 240 and 260.
Since 2007 I have learened to maintain my weight around the 250 mark.
I started at the end of 2008 about 255 and have manged to get to the 230's and at this point this is the leanest I have ever been but it will not the leanest I will ever be.
Why I Love It:
I love every aspect from the workouts to trying different workouts to trying different eating plans and supplements. I love reading about nutrition, workouts and other people success stories. I enjoy talking to anyone who will listen about workingout and diets.
How I Stay Motivated:
Always trying to improve never satisfied with my condition and I want to be a positive influence for my 10 year old daughter. Also I don't want to be the fat guy with the beautiful wife.

BB Accomplishments:

I will transform my body from being big to being big and cut. I will achive this through hard work and being consistent. I will do this for myself first and also for my family. I do not care about weight only inches.
I just want to write and say how proud of my daughter I am, she works hard at everything she does but the one day that it really showed how tough she is mentally and physcally was this summer when she was the starting pitcher for her softball team. She is only 10 years old but this day she was...
Awww, look at your fit status :) My diet and workouts are both going great...no complaints...just sticking with it until I loose a few more pounds and then who knows what LOL Well glad to hear you're doing well too :)
Hey there! We did have a nice Thanksgiving. How about you all? My youngest two children are back to school now so I'm back to my regular gym schedule which makes me very happy! I am switching up my routine again though which is also fun. I hope you are well and that you are continuing to meet your goals!
I think were finaly on the last streach of the h1n1. I did the treadmil a little yesterday and today. I so miss training :( My holiday was good, no over-eating as we were all sick :) I've lost so much of the muscle I worked so hard for. What can you do? Start over I guess :) I hope you have a great week!!
Hi :) I started back to getting "serious" with my food a few days ago. Gonna reeval at the end of the month right before xmas. Hopin that will make it go down :)
Hey man, thanks for checking up.
Training is actually going ok. I've been kind of getting myself used to working out by going with my friend to his gym a few days a week. Officially my program doesn't start until Dec 5th, but I'm meeting with my trainer this Friday just so I can get a taste of what I'll be doing at 6am 6 days a week. I'm excited for how great things will be when I start seeing results, but I'm nervous at the same time, hoping that I stay on track.
