Although I have never been "obese" I have often struggled with healthy weight gain. At 5'10" I reached a weight of 192 lbs during my mid to late twenties. Of course, I did not recognize the gain as something to be concerned about- especially after spending ten years trying to get above 150 lbs. However, when I stepped on a BMI and discovered that I was overweight, I panicked.

Although I have never been "obese" I have often struggled with healthy weight gain. At 5'10" I reached a weight of 192 lbs during my mid to late twenties. Of course, I did not recognize the gain as something to be concerned about- especially after spending ten years trying to get above 150 lbs. However, when I stepped on a BMI and discovered that I was overweight, I panicked.

I immediately bought a mountain bike and worked myself up to riding 25 miles a day (to and from work). I joined a local gym and began working on losing weight and toning up. That lasted for about 3 months. And I continued that cycle for the next couple of years.

It wasn't until I noticed my abs protruding my shirts that I really started taking my health seriously. First of all, belly fat is not a pretty sight to look at. Secondly, it is also risky. I developed an at-home workout, and found a new and friendly fitness center in my area. I began reading about fitness, proper nutrition, and the physical and mental benefits of exercise.

Now my goal is to bring my knowledge and experience to others. I am here to show that we can all achieve our health and fitness goals.
