Forgive me for my laziness, but it might just be best to copy/paste what I typed in the Ranger thread... Hail! I am BigBaldPaptimus Prime. I have also been known as BigBaldPapa, BBP and TheBBP (which I believe is how I registered when I came here the first time) or just Jeremy. I am a 42 year old male human who has fallen wayyyy far off of the path. My background includes years of Wrestling and Football in school and some more Football when I served in the Marine Corps. I got out of the Corps in October of 2005 and since I have made a terrible stand in regards to my health. To shorten this up, just over a year ago, I weighed in at 499 pounds. Today I am 440 and am struggling to fight. I know where I want to go and I know what I want to do, but I am having the hardest time finding the desire. I am hoping that spending time around others who are in similar battles will motivate me more than I am able to motivate myself. I have an interest in obtaining a well-rounded fitness profile. I would like to build muscle, but also master a healthy bodyweight. I want to be able to do dips and pull-ups again. As for running... meh. I could enjoy getting cardio through kettlebells and other forms of cardio resistance, but am not looking forward to jogging for fitness. At least not now. Ultimately, I wish to get down to a goal weight of 225 so that I can re-evaluate where I want to go from there. I am SUPER glad to be here and hope to become an active member of this community.
