From 388 to 215.. and still going. It's been quite a ride.
So backstory. I'm 33 years old about 5' 11". I was heavier as a kid, but really put on the weight in my mid to late 20's. I at fast food every day, had no portion control, at large pizzas and a 2 liter of pop in a sitting. It was bad. I never really realized how bad it was. Yeah I was on blood pressure medication etc, but…

Working towards a goal....getting below 300
I'm a 32 year old male. 5'11 w/ high blood pressure. When I went to the doctor at the beginning of October I weighed 388lbs.

This morning I did 30 minutes and felt great afterwards. I probably could have done more, but didn't want to push it. I feel accomplished and it drives me to push…

Anyone else split up their workouts during the day
Maybe it's just me, but I've found that if I split my workouts up over the course of the day I feel more inclined to actually want to do them. Recently I have been doing 20-25 minutes in the AM as soon as I get up. 20-25 minutes in the PM after I get home from work and have dinner. The results have been there so far, but…
