Where should I begin? That is the first thing I think about when I want to explain my bio. My entire life that led me to where I am I guess does not seem that complicated. It's just that it has taken about 8 years to get where I am so it seems like I probably have alot to say. I am 26 years old and am 6'2" tall and currently weigh 275.5 pounds. I remember my freshman year of high school when I weighed in at 175 pounds and was 6'2" tall back then. So I have gained over 100 pounds in 11 years - scary and gross!! I started to work out and put on muscle mass my sophomore year. I was sneaking in turkey sandwiches and protein shakes between classes. I really could tell a difference my junior and senior year and was up to a little over 215 my senior year. I had put on some fat as you do when you're "bulking up" due to the caloric intake. I never had a six pack but I was pretty stout. My downfall came during college when I joined a fraternity. I started the pizza and beer diet. I lived in the fraternity house and skipped class and ate bad and drank alot. I hit 225 then 235, then 240 when I broke my ankle one year. I eventually got back down to around 225 just by natural movements after I got my cast removed. I say it took me 8 years because that's when I graduated high school and that's when it all started going downhill. Although I came down some after I got the cast off I was still considered a yo-yo person because I put weight on again. I have always been able to drop like 10 pounds or so really fast but can put it back on even faster. Therefore, I consider all of this time to be my 8 years I'm talking about. From 18 to 26 I have now jumped up to 275.5 pounds. What really got me over the 240 mark (after college) was going out to eat alot and more beer. The clincher for me was when I was recently at a friends house and we were cutting up and having a good time. A couple of the guys were weighing themselves and flexing their arms (like guys do) and they asked what I thought I weighed. I said probably around 250. It was devastating when I got on that scale and it said 275. I'm a guy so I played it off like "oh dude your scale is off" or whatever. But the truth was I was just massive and could not deny it any longer. So here I am with P90X and I'm ready to get ripped. Day 1 is today 1-21-08. I can't wait to get where I want and need to be and it all starts now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
