Hey All,
I'm new here. Joining as a recommendation from a friend who says he benefits a lot from the support and knowledge he finds here.
I'm 25, 5' 8", and as you can probably tell by my username, a big Texans fan. At the beginning of May this year, I was at 295 llbs. My wife and I had just found out we were expecting our first child (it's a girl!), and I made a decision I had to stop the crap I was doing to my body so that it can work better and last longer. I joined a local gym and got to it. A couple of weeks later a friend from work joined me at the gym and decided to join so we can workout together, which was great timing. I've lost weight before and put it back on, but I've never had an accountability partner and workout partner to push me harder to make sure I stay on track.
It's the beginning of August now, and I'm at 265. 30 lbs lost so far, with a good ways to go. I've already seen big improvements in what I can lift and my endurance with cardio. Hoping to gain some knowledge and insight from other users on here, and also have an outlet for even more people to keep me accountable and hopefully motivate others by my progress as I continue on this journey to a healthy life.
