In high school I was always the skinny band kid at 150 lbs. No matter how much I ate I could not gain weight. Around age 25 I finally started to gain weight. I was not working out and by age 29 I was weighing 180 lbs. By the age of 32 I was tipping the scales at 205lbs. I was your typical ectomorph "skinny fat guy" which means I had skinny arms and legs but a fat belly. I knew at that point it was time for a change.

I love the stress relief, the sense of accomplishment when I reach a goal, the feeling of health and wellness, and the occasional compliment that comes with being toned and in shape.
