in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 31/m living in the great state of Washington and tipped the scales at 250 lbs this morning. 6'3, former athlete, more knowledge about training and diet than you'd ever guess with the way I look today. I've gotten lazy, and now I have nothing but fat to show for it.

I am ashamed of the way I look and how I've let myself go over the last 18 months. I binged on pizza, I secretly went to the drive through of fast food restaurants to grab burgers or fries, and I convinced myself that I still looked "healthy"...The clothes got tighter and my energy went way down. Can anyone relate?

I've made excuses all along the way, cancelled workouts, and never held myself accountable for my current state. I've lost a bunch of lbs only to add them back on when I slip up or stop caring.

I have a trip to the Caribbean planned at the end of April and I'm looking to get as lean as I can over the next 90 days.

If you are interested in being my friend to help motivate me, I'd be more than willing to do the same for you.

This is the month I reclaim my health and fitness...No more excuses, no more BS.

    I can relate. I lost 50lbs, busted my BUTT of doing it. It took me 21 weeks to do it,too. I started looking good, feeling good, and what do I do? You guessed it, rewarded myself with food and it all went down hill from there.I gained it all back. So here I am starting back at square one trying so hard to get back into the fitness mode. Wish me luck, too. We can do it!

    Added. I kinda fell into the same boat, where I made excuses for my large size "because I played football and lifted weights." That definitely didn't make sense after I was done with sports.

    I've recently gotten back into heavy lifting, although I'm also an avid runner

    You can do it!! My only word of advice is to not only work toward your vacation, but beyond that too. Make this a lifelong commitment. It's easier to keep going than to stop and have to start over again. Feel free to add me if you are looking for support - I encourage all of my Pals everyday. :smile:
