When I got out of the military I had beefed up quite a bit but, sadly, I didn't maintain it and ended up getting fat. Finally, I came down with type 2 diabetes. After a few years of coping with that I found the motivation to get in shape. Dropped 35 or 40 pounds of fat. Now I'm just trying to lose that last little bit of fat and make some more gains.

I love the strength and sense of well being it gives me. I like looking good and all that comes with it.
