I was always a fatty, especially during grade 8 and 9, almost weighing in at 200lbs. Joined rugby and wrestling during grade 9 to help lose weight. Started working out mildly in grade 10. Took it a bit more serious in grade 12 and joined local gym Raptors. I wasn't as fat as before, but I didn't get the result I was looking for (ripped, toned, etc). Unfortunately back then I ignored doing squats and deadlifts like most others.
It wasn't until 3 years later in 2010 when I took it very seriously. I started to post on forums, ask questions and re-search online to help me make changes. During this time I worked out at home and manged to lose 40 lbs within the year. The key was
proper diet (nutrition) and
weight training. Cleaned my diet, logged my workouts and signed up with Steve Nash Sports Club. Now playing sports and working out is part of my lifestyle. Working out and getting a good sweat on is fun for me. It's also a good stress reliever. Most importantly its my thing, for that 1-1.5 hr I get to focus on myself and improve myself physically and mentally. So kudos to anyone that is willing to make an effort to living a healthier lifestyle.
anyways I may not have the 6 pack that I've wanted atm, but my lifts are better than ever, and I'm not a fatty anymore
