This is commonly asked to me after I tell people that I've lost over 120 pounds. Its usually followed by "I never would have guessed that" Which is strange because I spent most of life overweight. In fact, close to 90% of my life was spent overweight. When I finally decided that the "bulk" had gone too far, I spent around 5 years in a purgatory state. First following months after my high school football had ended, I lost a staggering 30 pounds in 3 months. The following 5 years were spent losing and gaining the same 15 pounds. I was angry, confused, thought that I was some genetic anomaly. Surprise. I wasn't. I was lacking knowledge. I wish I could go back and tell my old self to learn about nutrition and weightlifting. That would have saved me years of pain (and I could have accumulated a better wardrobe by now) This is what the foundation of the community will be built on. Trying to simplify what I have learned so that, you, can transform yourself for good.
