In 2001 not long after 9/11, 12/29/07 to be exact, I got married to a wonderful woman. In 3 months I had gained up to 50 lbs. As of July 2006 I was turning the scale to 260 lbs. It was before I realized I had gotten that far that I needed to change something. Between then and November of 2006 I lost 40 lbs to 220. I was entering into my last few semesters before graduating with my BS in Business Administration that I got tied up. I graduated in May 2007 and decided it was time to get back to work on getting myself down to my goal ..... I was 234.5 lbs when I started back up and have been making steady process since. I can't wait to get my body into better shape than it was in high school.
