High School:
When I Started:
Aug, 2007
How I Started:
i developed my own program which i in tunr used on myself as my very first cleint. I figured that if i could do this then anyone can lose weight, burn fat and regain their lives. After losing over 201 1/2 lbs in just about 15 months. I began training hard and did gain some weight back but now know the difference between fat and muscl;e and have since dropped my bodyfat and am training religiously.
Why I Love It:
Bodybuilding and Physical Activty is something i am blessed with now and i used to abuse the abilty to be able to do these things i am doing now. There are people without limbs who would dream of walking and running and most importantly there are people who are going through life blind or deaf not able to put on an IPOD and listen to music while pounding down on a treadmill. It is the little things in life i used to not really appeciate but now i have a new founded meaning of life.
How I Stay Motivated:
The greatest gift in life is having a child in my mind. And 26 years ago my parents were given me and my only job on this earth is to not have to put them through watching there son kill himself with food, and lack of exercise. The thought of my parents burying me one day due to obesity killing me because i did not want to go to a gym or eat better is not anyones burden but my own. But most of all my father buried his father and my mother buried both of her parents i do not want them to have to bury me.

Goal (Long):
I start my transformation on august 16, 2007 after deciding i did not want to die young like alot of people over weight. so i started an experiement i call Project: New and Improved / my goals are simple to develop better eating and nutritional habits. Too know when enough is enough. To overall lose body weight and get to my goal of 235lbs with a 38inch waist and 16" neck. I hope to accomplish my goal in two years but have a set goal for 1 year to get some serious changes done. hopefully i will defeat my type II diabetes and high blood pressure. i will not let the weight control me and make my decisions.

What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
trying to go to heavy and caring about what other lifts thought about my weights used. it is embarassing if you are supposed to be able to lift more weight for you body type but you are not strong enough yet to accomplish what you should be doing. this can be intimidating in the gym around other lifters.trying to go to heavy and caring about what other lifts thought about my weights used. it is embarassing if you are supposed to be able to lift more weight for you body type but you are not strong eno...more

Hi there! May I make a suggestion about your nutrition? For someone your size, you're not taking in nearly enough calories. If you're working out hard, your body will learn how to more efficiently store body fat. Your ratios are okay, but you rethink them. I'm happy to help out. Read my profile.
