I've always lifted on and off since I was 17. I have always had a weight problem and go up and down with loosing and gaining weight. I used to be 250lbs when I was 16. I managed to loose 75lbs in four months, don't know how but I did, got down to about 180 and was in the best shape of my life then. However it didn't last and through life changes I gained most of it back, then since have been loosing and gaining. Two years ago I lost my wife who was only 23 due to liver failure. During our marriage and after her death I had really let myself go and I ballooned up to about 320lbs. In the past year I have gotten down to about 250 through just diet alone. However I finally intend now to get back to 180lbs and stay that way.
Makes me feel great. I feel strong, have tons of energy, self confidence, and I purge all my negative energy out and bring new positive energy back in around me.
