Hello all,
Just wanted to let you guys know that I am new to this site and I'm ready to start shedding these pounds!
I'm 5'10" and weigh 242 lbs. I've always been a chubby kid since I moved to the U.S. (Florida) from Brazil when I was 8. It wasn't until late 2003 (225 lbs) where I decided that it was time for a change. In the following 6 months I dropped down to 185 lbs and stayed there for about a year. My life changed completely. I had more energy, loved dressing nicely, and girls were all over me!
That was then...
Since 2006, I've been gaining weight all over again little by little. I met my wife in November of 2007 (210 lbs) and we got married in May of 2010 (225 lbs). I am now 242 lbs .... notice the trend ?? Well my wife is 4 months pregnant and I can't stand being fat anymore. I've tried again and again but it seems that each time, I give up after a week. I hate all my clothes, I hate going out, I have zero motivation, and my day is SH*T from the moment I wake up. I've had enough!!
My baby is due in June and I'd like to be back to 185 lbs by then. I am pretty built so 185 lbs is good with the muscle weight that I have. I know how to lose weight but it seems like I can't ever make it past half-way up the hill. I know that when I get to the top, it'll be a smooth ride down.
I can't wait to be happy again.
Glad to be here,
- Rafael
