Well I have always been a big boy, in fact I had weighed 300 lbs for only being 5'6 and let me tel ya that I was a shape and I hated it. Being the only fat one in a family of ten...not easy.as time progressed I had my heart broken..so I had enough of sadness, I than decided to jus focus on me and the best I could hoped for was to look the best I can. I had nothing but time and money and so began my struggle. I had alot of comments from different trainers bout how I should train and jus go for looking thin but I already knew that was not anf option and definitely knew that skinny was not sexy. A man had to have form and muscles lol. Although a hard journey, I kept myself moving only relying on my little cut out picture of what I didn't want. I battled my way threw what they seemed was wrong training and methods but came to.understand how the body actually responds to certain foods and workouts. I learned as much as I could bout nutrition and weight lifting and jus went on my own trial and error plans. the biggest help I can honestly say I enjoy was having an audience lol. people pay more attention to you than you think.. 120lbs later I figured id tel my story to mens fitness and you know what? They liked it..im still on their website and still working to better my self..any tips are always welcomed..as for my broken heart..its healed, ass for the one who did it, shes not happy. that story of the ugly duckling happens when you least expect it. Lol.
