Ive had a run of bad luck over the last 9 years. Blew out my shoulder then ruptured my left patella tendon which shot my knee cap in to my thigh, my mother died unexpectedly, tore my right patella tendon, crashed my motorcycle which led to a tear in my right bicep and finally needed to get my right need repaired for a second time. I went from being 175lbs and 5% body fat to looking at myself and wondering why me? I've ballooned up to 286lbs pushed all my friends and family away and basically turned to food. I finally had enough when I saw my weight for the first time in December. I decided starting mid-January to do something about it and after 1 month I'm down 42lbs and back to wearing what I did 3 years ago. I'm not stopping here though. I don't need to be 175lbs again but I'm going to do whatever I can to look as good as possible and that's what's driving me now.

I just love that I can see physical changes quickly. I do things extreme in my approach to working out and eating and it works for me. As long as I keep seeing positive changes, I'll keep doing it.
