Howdy,
I am a 25 year old coach in Texas ready to transform myself completely. I am currently 6'5" and weigh 300 pounds. I am a really "big body!!" I have not reached the stage to where I have a gut that actually hangs below my beltline but I do have one poking out there. My diet is also terrible for my fast life (especially during football season).
First off I would like to let you know what I do and maybe you can see part of my motivation in that. I am a coach in Texas where I coach football, powerlifting, and track. I am also the strenght coach at my school. I work with high school kids and ask them everyday to push themselves, make the right decisions as far as nutrition and exercise and here I am not following one word of my own advice.
I am in the process of attaining my CSCS certification - for those of you who have this, you know how studying can be
!! I also have another really big event in my life upcoming fast!! My wife and I will have our first baby boy in December!! There lies another motivation!! On top of all this, my family has a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. So, I have finally decided that I have watch myself deteriorate as long as I can stand it.
I will have some obstacles though - like I said, in December we are having our first child so sleep will be a delicacy (Sp?)!! Also, after football season I will be having surgery on my ring finger (an athlete broke it during drills at practice ) But I feel that I can stay on my health goals by doing plenty of cardio work and can still strength train where my disability will allow.
My main motive for joining this board is for motivation from people fighting the same battle that I am. I have to say, the before and after pictures are awesome!! I really am proud to see that people are changing their bodies everyday - that says a lot about your character!! So, nice to meet everyone and I look forward to talking and sharing with you!!!!
