My Weight loss / fitness journey so far...

1-17-09 to 3-5-2010

227 to 172 pounds

I felt overweight since 1st grade when a girl in class called me fat. I was a healthy weight until middle school. I know in 5th grade I weighed 95 lbs and in 8th grade I was at 183. I hit 200 in 9th or 10th grade and by my Junior/Senior year I weighed 245.

2001 (High School)

I gave up sodas in college but I got big and don't know how much I weighed.

The picture below was taken 8 months after I got my degree and I had given up fried food for 4 months but I still ate very poorly.

New Job

On March 17th 2008 I started my current job weighing 255ish.

There is a subway close by and it was right about the same time they started the $5 footlongs. I lost 9 pounds eating subway for 3 months and no exercise. I have been focused on Health and Weight loss since June 2008. I joined a gym and ended up with a trainer. I weighed 246 and hit the ground running.

From Jan 1 to May 14, 2009 was round one. I lost 20 pounds down to 209. Then round 2 was from May 15 to Oct 1, 2009 and I lost 24 pounds and won round two at 185. I was no longer with a trainer and I moved to a new house. I had been reading articles online and found one by Scott LaPierre called How I Won the 2003 Body-for-Life Challenge.I researched BFL and started my challenge Dec. 14th
