Well ive been poking in and out of threads on this site and decided to start a journal. Starting weight was 264, probably the higest I have ever weighed. I went to an Army Recruiter to enlist and they put me on a scale, 264, Holy ****
. For all i knew i was 250, wasn't happy about that but it was doable.
I was able to drop the first 8 pounds pretty quickly, just going to the park and walking for 45 minutes and watching what i was eating, keeping meal calories down to around 400ish. I saw comercials for nutrisystem and decided to give it a try, so $300 bucks later i had 5 weeks of food coming, Idiot proof weight loss , which is a good thing, im a firm believer in the K.I.S.S system.
Everything was going good, i was doing PT(pushups, situps) at home, walk/jog at the park, and then i pushed myself WAY to hard and developed a stress fracture in my right leg, **** im screwed, or so I thought. Just so happens my firend has a 2 week membership for Gold's Gym. First day im there they start harrassing me to join, 300 bucks just to get started and here i am thinking i will ship out asap so spending that kind of money for 2 months is redicilious. The last day on my 2 week trail i get a call from the gym, they will wave all the fees and sign me up for $1 dollar I was all over that. So for anyone who is still reading this, thanks, i know it was long but that was the backstory that got to where I am today.
Sum it up:
Start 264
Lost 8 lbs
Start Nutrisystem
Loose another 5 lbs
Get Hurt
Start Gym For $1
Lost 11 lbs
Currently 240
