You used to be 300 pounds??
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.
