Why I Got Started
dot

Going in to my junior year of high school I hit my all-time high weight, and was unhappy with myself physically. My family has a history of bad health, especially on my father's side, and I was tired of being another person in the overweight mold. I also felt like my athletic performance was severely suffering, in both hockey and lacrosse.

A few of my peers made comments to the affect that I had gained weight over the summer, which really got to me and caused me to reevaluate myself. I decided it was time for a change.

How I Did It

I started going to the gym 4 days a week before school, in addition to hockey practices 4 nights a week. I completely revamped my diet, which previously was no breakfast, a huge fast food lunch, and huge amounts of sugar before bed.

I began eating 6 smaller meals a day, and monitoring my caloric intake. Also I used sample workouts I found on web sites such as BB.com, and reading as much nutrition and health material as I could find. I started seeing results, and loved the self-esteem boost I received from changing my body.

Supplements

I used whey protein of various brands, usually Optimum Nutrition. Also I tried Hydroxycut, but hated the side effects so I discontinued using it.

Now that I am down to my desired body fat percentage, my goal is to gain lean muscle and get up to 170. Eventually I would like to get over 200 pounds lean and possibly compete in bodybuilding competitions. I have switched to four or five days a week lifting, with focus on specific body parts.

Suggestions

For all others interested in reinventing themselves physically, my advice would be: stick with it (discipline leads to results). And don't deprive yourselves of the things you love - have a cheat meal once a week. Once again thank you, and keep up the great work!
