Me I have been a Big boy all my life, I played on the O and D line in football , I wrestled at the heavyweight spot on the team, had to lose over 50 lbs just to get in the army after school and lost more during Basic Training. I weighed 182 lbs @6ft tall after Basic Training, I had not been under 200 lbs since 8th grade! well after I got out of the service (failed drug test, twice) I let my hair grow and was up to 315 lbs in 2 years... then I went on this whole health kick started doing arobics then lifting weights right afterwards, riding a bike 5 days a week and lost it, got back down to 210 lbs, had a car accedent about 4 years later (while stopped for a school bus was hit from behind) , kinda messed up my back and I couldn't lift more then 25 lbs for about 6 months per Doctor. I started to pack it back on, I was back up to 275 lbs when I moved back to California in 97, and still gaining. I discovered Meth out there and got hooked, when I went into rehab in Sept. 2004 I weighed 204 lbs, down from a high of 338 lbs. with in a year of getting clean, I was back to the 250-275 lbs range, and after starting to drive Big Rigs I jump up to a new High of 412 lbs.??? I stopped there and am back on the healthy eatting kick and am slowly taking off what I slowly put on, I am under 400 lbs today and shooting to get back to my 240-250 range for a guy who stands 6-2. I didn't get clean to die of a heart attack from over eatting , no more buffets! no eatting right before I sleep, and more exercise, one day I be there!
