My buddy Chris bought me gym cloths, bag and water jug and a month membership. He told me I was gonna do this with him cause he didnt want to do it alone, and at the time I said " I dont have much choice seeing how you spent all this money". This is only half the story, I can go on about how I want to be more active for my kids and for my health but in the end I also wanted it for me...... I was just tired of being a fat kid! <or adult>

Not everyone knows the feeling when you take your shirt of in a public place or pool and your heavy set and you see and hear people make comments about you (if you do then you know what im talking about).... but in the gym, NO ONE TREATS YOU LIKE THAT! You sweat, you hurt and you make all sort of noises and its ok..... hell youd get high fived for pushing yourself to you limit plus 1.
