Why I Got Started
I was tired of being the slow and pudgy one who couldn't lift a lot. I knew I could do it and knew it was an achievable goal. I have always been a fan of bodybuilders and thought this would be a fun thing to challenge myself with.
How I Did It
My friends encouraged me to start eating healthy and to hit the weight room. I really have to thank my parents for their support also, as they have always encouraged me to be healthy and active.

Supplements
Diet
A minimum of 3,000 calories per day, all clean, with one cheat meal per week. I never eat the same thing every day, as I believe you need to switch it up for your body. This would be a sample:
Breakfast:
Mid Day Snack:
Lunch:

Suggestions For Others
If you have a dream, you can do it. Anything is possible, and if you have a few pounds to lose it can make all the difference in the way you look and feel. Keep your diet in check, but don't worry about it too much. Don't start with things like Keto and low carb when you are just starting because it can be confusing to beginners. Just eat whole, balanced meals throughout the day, and eat what you like. Don't eat a tub of cottage cheese every night if you hate it.
When it comes to training I would recommend using a full body routine to start out with. You don't even need a gym to start with. You can do body weight exercises to build up your strength also. Once you have progressed, start to use a 3-or-4 day split and keep sessions to 45-60 minutes. Make sure you don't skip on carbs post work out also.

Anything is possible with determination and enough knowledge. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it, or that you're a loser for packing your own lunch. They'll be the jealous ones come summer!
