Wanted to keep up my appearance and stay in shape.

Looked at myself in the mirror on my 30th b-day and realized I was a fat bastid!!!

 

[timt]

hit 30 years old sat on the couch drinking for 10 years. I realized I had waisted my life away and was killing myself. and I had gotten up to 310 lbs. First I started biking and worked my way up to 20 miles a day. anwas down to 270 in 2 months. I went to the gym and was explained the benefits of bb and started lifting on machines. I was soon almost maxing out a couple of the machines and realized I needed free weights. so I left the gym (couldn't get to the free weights) and got a set of weights and a bench, and got hooked.
I am currently sober again and weighing at 235 lbs at 5' 10". I fint into clothes from when I was 24 years old and still shrinking.

For me I was tired of looking and feeling like crap and I want to be a good role model for my kids.

Yeah...I can relate. I was about 5'6 and 125lbs in 10th grade. When I graduated high school I wasnt any taller or any bigger, so it was time to hit the weights.

You posted a big back pic. One of the first you posted a few weeks out. Looked big. I'd use that one. Save it to your desktop if it isnt there already

What brought me into the gym?

The desire to have a booty that you could balance beer bottles on

And I dated some chick in high school that did not need straps for her backpack. That was nice.
