My Story and Why I am Here
I have always been overweight. Ever since I can remember I have been the fat kid. I always told myself I would lose weight eventually but always had the excuse that I couldn’t because I was an All Conference Offensive Lineman and I had to keep my weight up to perform well. After I started playing college football I dropped from 280 lbs to about 265 because of the hard work that our coaches had us doing. It felt good to work hard and see results like that. In my sophomore year I suffered a career ending injury and after sulking for a month or two I made a New Years Resolution to lose weight, alot of weight. I started on January 1st 2008 @ 240 lbs and by March 2nd I was 207. I worked really hard and felt better than I ever have. Over the summer i didn’t keep after my weight and just lifted and ate. My weight is back at 240. I know its not as bad as it was before because I am stronger know than I ever was so i have more muscle but I am determined to lose the weight again and keep it off.
My Goals are;
Cardio 60 min a day. 5 Days a week.
Weight Lift atleast 3 Days a week.
Eat less than 2,000 calories a day. Preferably under 1,500.
Weigh myself on Feb 20th. A little over a month from now and be under 225lbs.
Be 210 lbs by summer.
Wish me luck!

You have set some good goals. Now all you have to do is get started!
You’ve sure come to the right place-keep at it & you’ll make it!
goodluck!!
you can do it!!!
Hey sweetie, I know it’s hard doing it young anyways. I’m only 22 and I have not always had a weight issue. I was always tiny before I had my little girl when I was 15. Then I went into homeschool and had to work to take care of her as a single mom since her father is a loser, sorry. Anyways, however we put it on we do it, and what matters is that we take it off to be healthy and happy, and not to mention HOT!
Well hun, I know that you can do it!! Keep your head high and don’t give up. Just remember that this is a life change, not really a diet. I have gotten myself in trouble with that before cause when you get to, or close to your goal we tend to go back to old eating habits. Don’t forget to add in some cario with your weights. I do both and have noticed toning and weightloss!! Hugs!
Welcome and good luck!
Hey congrats on the weight lost..i know you can loose it and keep it off…i just hope i can do the same
