Hello, I'm quite new to the rebellion but a good friend of mine taught me about what all of you do and I've finally come to the realization that this community might just help keep me going on this life long battle I've had with my weight. Today April 16th, 2014 upon my 22nd birthday I've decided that it is time to take the plunge and dive deep into bettering myself physically as well as mentally. My health has never really been an issue but the weight has become a problem. When I was in elementary school I was one of the smallest kids in my class until I had reached the 5th grade and was given medication for a wrong diagnosis of attention deficit disorder. Now I really had no issue with taking the medication but it gave me outrageous eating habits and I had gone up almost 60 pounds in a little under 3 months making me one of the heaviest kids in the school which hurt quite a bit in the ego when you're constantly being picked on for being over-weight. Some of my accomplishments that I've undergone over the years span from different forms of things starting with: Mixed Martial Arts, Marching band in high school (Yes surprisingly it is a really active sport that requires a lot of dedication and hard work) Tai Chi Karate (Only went a couple times with a friend, but still managed) Running (Just for fun, I've never done any competitions or races) As of the last time I can remember when I was weighed I weighed in at 252 lbs. I think over time I would enjoy to be under the 200 mark if I am lucky and keep on a decent diet by cutting out a lot of the sugary drinks and junk food I consume with a regular weekly work out at the Gym that I'm a member of. Let's get it guys and gals, -Tyler. PS. Sorry forgot to mention my name is Tyler. Haha.
