I let my weight get out of control (I was 230lbs at my worse point), was depressed all the time, and just got tired of the direction my life was heading. A friend really pushed me to start going to the gym with him, and when I started seeing results I was hooked.

I love the results.

Running longer or faster then you could before, lifting things you knew you couldn't at one time, seeing the numbers on the scale get to a respectable place. You put in the work and you get the results, and that's why I love working out, because it's the one place your guaranteed to get out of it what you put in.
