During my childhood i struggled with my weight due to poor information and equally poor nutrition. A steady diet of fast food and sweets left me shopping in the "husky" section. When i was 14 my neighbor gave me a weight set and i began waking up before school to workout. I didn't know what i was doing so i resorted to fitness magazines for information. After a while i began to notice the benefits of weight training and that it complimented the sports that i played. However it took me 13 years to realize the role nutrition plays in achieving any fitness goal. I was getting results but i wasn't getting the results i could have gotten if i had known the proper lifestyle changes required to achieve my desired goals. Now at 27 i believe i am finally beginning to understand my body and how to achieve the goals i set for myself.

I love the way fitness makes me feel alive, it helped me to start dreaming again and through gradual achievement of small goals i realize big goals too are within my grasp.

I read fitness magazines and set weekly goals and revaluate them weekly.

I've lost 42 lbs since february 2008
