I was a real big fat ass after I moved to my current house. From 5th-11th grade I was progressively getting bigger and bigger and got to be obese through 7th-10th grade. My highest point was being over 280lbs with virtually no muscle. I decided to change my look one day after finally being too disgusted with myself when I looked in the mirror.

It's a rush and I know that each pump/step/stroke is another step towards improvement, and getting better at anything always makes me happy.
