So, a little about me.....

I grew up normal sized (whatever that is) when I got to high school I participated in cross country, track and wrestling. The last few years of high school I was working out and lifting everyday and then in college I took a weightlifting and conditioning class. One of the first things I remember them doing was taking a baseline measurement of your body fat; I remember I was less than 6 percent body fat. With that said I weighed around 235 just all muscle. This is where I have a problem with the whole BMI thing. According to that I was a 33.7 and obese. Not sure how they come up with that since I was in the best shape of my life and had practically no body fat on me. But I digress, fast forward a few years I left college, got married to my HS sweet heart and started driving semi for a living. Truck stop food and a lack of activity gave my body the opportunity to pack on the pounds. I jumped to #250 and stayed there for awhile. Fast-forward several more years and I was divorced (not due to weight, just "grew apart") I started my own company and started driving over the road. I met another great woman who I hired to work for me and eventually married. Going from #250 still eating greasy truck stop food but a little more active to eating somewhat healthy food from her cooking in the truck. You would think that would be better healthy vs. greasy, sort of the main problem was her food is so good I eat A LOT of it. So now I am up to #275. Fast forward again a few years Sue got hurt and I sold all my trucks and retired from driving. I went back to college and earned several degrees. I now work in the IT field and have been active on and off, actually ran a few 5k's in the past few years but can't seem to drop any weight, I stick steady at #269 - #275 no matter how much I work out or eat like I should. Hopefully this new tools will help me shed the weight and get back to the healthier person I know I can be.
