Greetings everybody,
I spent the afternoon checking this forum out and have really enjoyed reading everyones' stories. I have been looking for the motivation to take those next few steps towards my goal. So here is a little bit about my self since I'm a brand new forum member.
Top Weight - 265lbs.
Current Weight - 207lbs.
Height - 6'3''
Age - 21
Goal - 15% Body Fat or less, Whatever weight I may be at that point
Weight History - As I will show in a moment I have had weight problems my entire life. My mother is a walking miracle having had polio as a child, however this meant a majority of family activities were either slow paced or sedentary leaving me with bad habits I am only now beginning to break. I started gaining a lot of weight in the fourth grade and I stayed obese until about a year ago.
So without further ado, the pictures.
This first one shows my history and is pretty much the only picture I had on hand from my childhood. (It is the passport photo from my first passport).
Heres a couple of me somewhere around my top weight of 265. I don't have any really good example as I was even less a fan of cameras and pictures as I am now. The way I lost most of my weight was by accident so I didn't think to take any good before pictures.
(To answer any questions before they happen, I'm the on throwing the ball. The guy on the left is my twin. And by the way apparantly the best way to motivate your twin to loose weight is to drop 60 pounds on him.)
Heres the current me.
And here's of couple of me shirtless as I think they will provide me with the most motivation to finish what I started. I apologize for the eyes I'm about to burn out with my love handles and epic farmers tan.
Any way I hope put in some good work during the summer so hopefully I'll be able to put up some much more flattering pictures every month or so.
Good luck to everyone else as well!
P.S. I previewed this post and noticed the pictures are rather large, If someone could let me know how to link a smaller picture to a larger one like I've seen on some of the other posts I'd be happy to fix it.
