in Success Stories
I have had an up and down life battle with my weight. Was heavy all through my school years. But, finally in 2002, at 17 years old @ 240lbs down to 150lbs my senior year.
From 2003 till '05, I had maintained my weight, but not for long. Since '05 till about march of last year, I have gained about 90lbs and have not cared what I ate.
But then, last year I have wanted to get in shape for the sake of my family and friends that I need to get back like old times and push forward.
Finally at the tip of my goal weight at 82 lbs, with 80 lost already. Exercise, watch carbs, count calories, enjoy!

Me and my daughter March '13

    Good going Matt! Pictures to look back on for the future. You have a nice looking family. Good for you to realize that you need to look after yourself first and then you can be the person they will look up to.
