I simply got tired of being fat, so I did something about it. The first thing I fixed was my diet. Not that I was eating "bad" foods, but I was eating way too much of everything. I lost about 70lbs this way with no training. Obviously not the best course of action and I wish I started earlier, but it worked for me at the time.

I then signed up for a bunch of sessions at a personal training gym in a local shopping center. Most of the time, I worked with the same trainer, we became friends, and the rest is history.
