I am a 33 year old IT worker who has gotten fat!

I have made 14 ‘attempts’ at getting fit over the past 15 years...Some more successful than others.

This is number 15. The secret is not to give up, you get it right eventually :)

I recall vividly the first time I wanted to get fit; I was delivering a pizza to a swimming pool, and their was a gorgeous lifeguard there. I wanted her, badly. And I realized: “Allen! You need to get in shape!”

I haven’t given up since. Today, I’m married and have a wonderful three year old daughter.

Starting this out I’m 252lbs! I’ll post my full measurements in my weekly updates. I’ve tried doing this before ‘John Stone’ style with daily updates, but it’s too crazy for me. You’ll find pictures, tips, advice, etc. Here is the first bit of advice: Go to John Stone Fitness and make an account immediately! There is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration there. Another great source of inspiration for me is Chicken Tuna from Bunklers.com. Enjoy the show!
