I (surprise) discovered I weighed 211 pounds on June 8, 2008. I began walking daily and monitoring my diet immediately. My goal was to get below 200 lbs. I kept going and made it to 174 pounds by October 25, 2008. My lowest point was 166 pounds in August of 2009.

I then took a high stress job in January of 2010 (at 174 pounds) and within two years had peaked at 194 pounds. I resigned that position and am now back down to 177 in late August of 2012. And I am now committed to *never* getting out of shape again.

My objective is to get skinny ripped like I once was long ago. I had a 4% BF measure in college (measured in a class setting no less) and though I will never see that again I would like to get *close* to essential fat. 7% or 8% would be very nice and especially at my age but I would be happy with 10-12% too. :)

Energy and looks! I feel better and I look better when I exercise regularly.
