Hi everyone!!!
I'm Adam and I am 27 and I live in Michigan. I originally joined this site back in November 2008.....at that time I weighed 232 lbs my highest ever. Growing up I had always been VERY athletic and in shape. I played basketball throughout high school and continued to play during college in intramurel leagues and adult leagues at various local gyms.
I graduated college in 2007 and started working in the corporate world. The stress of work caused me to form A LOT of bad habits......I was living in a new city so I was no longer playing in basketball leagues......plus I stopped working out on a regular basis. Combined with this, my eating habits became awful. Over the next year and half my weight ballooned to 232 lbs, which is when I joined here.
In February 2009 the bank I was working for laid off our entire CRE lending group in Grand Rapids and I was unemployed. Thankful to God, I was able to land a job at the bank where I was previously employed. I am still working there but this past October I accepted a promotion and moved to the Detroit area.
The past 7 months have been busy and stressful as I have been getting used to my new job. Towards the end of March I returned from a trip to Houston and I stepped on my scale......255 lbs........I couldn't believe it. I graduated college weighing 175 lbs with abs and a great body.......and now I am a fat slob.
I decided that day that enough is enough. It was time to get back into shape and I couldn't delay this any longer. I hate that I am limited by my weight and I refuse to live this way for another day.
This past Tuesday I weighed in at 235 lbs so I am down 20 lbs since March. My goal right now is to lose 3-4 lbs a week by eating healthy, low calorie and low fat meals combined with LOTS of exercise.
Come check out my jounal.......I'm looking forward to meeting LOTS of people!
Cheers,
Adam
