Growing up I was the skinny lanky kid that could eat anything and would remain skinny. Then in highschool I started to put on a lot of weight, i chalked this up to puberty and McDonalds daily special menu. In grade 10, I weighed about 170 by the time I left in Grade 12 I was about 200lbs. Couple years after high school I decided to move out with a couple buddies and thats when I ballooned, we ate out every night, always had people over drinking, had the worst sleep regiment and overall just a very unhealthy lifestyle. During this time about 4 years ago I was roughly 230lbs when I met this girl, she is now my wife, she slowly started to change my diet and I initially lost some weight. Started going back to the gym but never really got cut up or anything, I was the dude at the gym that would lift large weights and look really massy but never looked really muscular I weighed in at 215lb for the longest time. Over the last year and two I started to try to get active again, played alot of basketball and what not but still only got down to about 210lbs. I started to weight train again recently, within the last 2 months and watched what I was eating a little bit better and now am down to roughly 199lbs, my goal weight is 185lbs. I decided to try to lose weight as even though I am only 26, its not like I am getting and younger so I need to get my health in check,given that I am married now and everything and would like to be around for my wife as long as possible. As of right now I have basically cut out all deep fried food, fast food and pop. Started packing lunches trying to eat cleaner in general, and I am also on a EC stack.

What I have learnt about myself over the course of all these years is that:
1. my metabolism can no longer handle eating everything in sight
2. I feel like I am a fast loser but a faster gainer, so that kinda sucks
3. My friends and I actually discussed this: because in the summer time we are constantly out doing activities and what not we eat whatever we want and either maintain or lose weight, however as soon as winter rolls around we start packing on the weight.


My advice to everyone, if I am even qualified to do so, is that come up with a plan that you are able to sustain. Crash dieting and all that stuff you will get immediate results but why not chose something that you will actually enjoy doing or eating.
