I was always into sports and in decent shape when I was younger. I tried weigthlifting a couple times and had great results but just never stuck with it. I always felt I would do well at it.

Fast forward to 2011 and I have a desk job, eat poorly with no exercise and I got fat and very out of shape. I felt old and tired all the time. It took me seeing myself on video doing a dance routine with my daughter to really make it sink in how overweight and out of shape I really was.

So I went on diet for the first time in my life and I lost 15 lbs in a month but still did not like they way I looked so I started to workout again and charting my progress on bodybuilding.com

I love bodybuilding because for me its given me my youth and health back. I eat better, look better and feel better.
