in Introduce Yourself
Well my name is Devon. I'm 22 years old, 6"3 and 210 pounds at the moment.

Back in April of 2006 I weighed 285 pounds, and wore a size 44 pant. At that time I decided it was time for me to get in shape, and even though I wasn't following my exercise routine, I stayed 100% strict on my diet and managed to get down to 165 pounds in 1 year and 3 months. I don't know if I've ever been that happy, as I had been big all my life and throughout high school, so starting my freshmen year of college "skinny" was an amazing feeling.

I managed to keep the weight off for nearly five years, I did get back up to 180 but I felt that was the perfect weight for me. At 165 I looked a bit frail. Even with all that success I never was happy with my body. I was skinny, I wasn't in shape. I've never been comfortable even taking my shirt off.

Since maybe May of last year I've put on 30 pounds! I really can't believe it's happened so fast. I can fit in the same jeans (miraculously) but the majority of my clothes are too small. I've been in a small depression over it for the past few weeks and decided last week I'm not going up a size. I borrowed Insanity from a friend and I start Week 2 today! I feel great, and since it's only been a week I know not to expect anything just yet.

I don't want to simply lose the 30 pounds, I want to lose it and transform my body into something I'm proud of. I can't stand looking in the mirror. Insanity seems like the best bet for me, but it's kicking my butt! I'm still sore from last weeks workout and am dreading (but still excited) for my workout this evening. I've been on a strict diet plan, making sure to get the calories I need. I really hope this works out for the best!

I'm excited about joining here to interact with others going through life changes. Hope everyones doing well!
