I got into working out due to potential health problems. I was 296, lazy, and depressed. Went to my doctor, for a physical and he broke down for me. "Although, you don't have any health issues, for now, if you don't change then I can see you being a regular patient in a couple of years". That conversation went down on May 6th, of this year. Started going to the gym THAT day. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Proud to say that I've lost 35 pounds, since then. BUT, I have a long journey a head of me. I'm not trying to look like a HUGE body builder, I wouldn't mind being in the neighborhood of Jim Stoppani, though.

Working out has been the sanctuary that I've been searching for. Will keep you guys and girls up to date. Looking forward to being a part of this community.
