Hey y'all! My journey to here.

Just wanted to take a second to say hi! My names Rob, ill be 27 on the 23rd and I'm in Houston Texas. Actually a transplant from
Chicago, but Texas is way more home to me then Chicago ever was.

Anyways my personal trainer insisted I used this site as a way for her to monitor my eating habbits. I really like the site, I've been trolling the forum here and have found good info, and inspiration.

I'm 6ft, and about 2 years ago I had reached my heaviest I've ever been. 285 pounds, and was feeling pretty crappy over all. My other big reason to drop weight was because I drag race motorcycles. The lighter you are, the faster you go. PLUS if I was to crash, typically a fit person recovers faster, and more completely.

Well I set my goal to be 240 pounds. And after nearly 6 months I was able to get down to 255 pounds with a good mix of cardio and weight training. If you look at my pic, that's at 255. I felt great, and I was starting to lean out and cut up a bit.

Shorty after hitting 255, I ended up breaking my tail bone. And that put me out of commission for almost a year. Durring that time, all that lean muscle I built turned in to fat, and gained a ton of weight back. From 255, to 320 pounds. I was devistated. So close to my goal, and then piling on a ton more weight then when I started.

Fast forward to 5 months ago now. I've managed to drop down from 320 to 285 pounds again. But it seems to be getting harder so I turned to a personal trainer (again) for some help. My goal is 240 again, but hopefully i can surpass that. But I'll need to make that call once I get there cus I don't want to look sickly thin. (I'm big boned)

I look forward to talking with y'all thought my journey!
