I have been working out on and off for about two years. I started gaining weight about four years ago due to a few different factors. When I reached my all time heaviest at 189 lbs, I was miserable and for the first time in my life I was self conscious, embarrassed & cared what others thought of me. I regained all of my confidence & certainly don't give a **** what others think of me. I am happy with my current self, and will be happier when I reach my goal weight. In 2017 I experienced a lot of inconsistency which is unfortunately a big downfall of mine. Progress was still being made though, I was getting to a better head space and making positive changes in my life. The summer was decent as for my consistency, the fall saw a decline in my desire to push forward and my diet and exercise suffered. Late fall I really kicked myself into gear and have since been VERY consistent, I completed a one month training program and recently started a three month Kettlebell program to which I am about a month in. It's going well.
