I have been a chubby person all my life. When I started college I actually realized for the first time that I was infact overweight and hated having to choose carefully what I had to wear. I started walking and dieting intensely. I lost about 60 lbs . I have pretty much stayed at 118lbs for the last 9 years. I stared training with a personal trainer. It was a shock when I first measured my fat5 peaking at 33%. I started reading about lean mass and BMI related things to get a deeper understanding. I finally realized the importance of building muscle.

I have been working out religiously for about 5 months. I have lost about 6% body fat and my weight is still 117 lbs. I am aiming to achieve 15% body fat.

It is truly rewarding. It de-stresses body and mind. I am completely addicted. I am always reading about what to try and I love articles on bodybuilding.com website that explain the science behind working out.
