What up. I'm OG Jake.

I need pals. Lots of them. To encourage me as I pursue my hoop dreams, and so I can help encourage you all as well. I need to move pounds and get strong, fast, quick, and agile. I have been my own road block, and I'm tired of failing. I am now nearing 30 pounds lost with 25 pounds to go.

Here's a little about me:
I'm a basketball player and coach
I listen to Hip Hop.
I am training to run a marathon.
I was put on earth to help people.
I'm a math major (2nd bachelor's); With intent to eventually become a high school math teacher
I'm kind of the *kitten*.
Not built for a desk job.

    I've been going off and on since about July. I cut out grains from my diet in September which knocked off 14 pounds, then since mid January I've been going really hard while knocking out bad habits one at a time for the remaining weight (which is actually 13 pounds to be exact for 27 lost total).

    You sound pretty kick *kitten*. So I'm going to add you as a friend. I'm looking for more encouragement myself. And anyone with a calling to do a job like being a teacher- long hours, bad pay, and reatively thankless- has to have a good heart.

    Love basketball, but I broke my hand playing volleyball a couple of months ago, so I am trying to avoid team sports for a while.

    Will add you.
