My names Charles, I'm 26 years old and enough is enough. My body currently is based off of my (overcome) drug addiction. Now, I see the light. My life's new habit is making my body be what it should be. Not continuing to destroy it. I will do this for me, and my family. I'm 255 Ibs, I should be 180. Now let me begin. Who wants to journey together?

    Awesome! We can support each other down this path. Message me when you need a boost :) I've also recently kicked some bad habits, so it is comforting to know I'm not alone.
