Hello rebellion!

Hi! I'm 5'11" and hover between 200-205 lbs. I've never been much into fitness. I always hated doing it in highschool. I was lazy and have been for most of my life. I tried college for a short bit, but never found anything that really appealed to me. I'm now 27, and have finally realized my evil ways. I am finally going to college this spring to obtain a bachelors in graphic design. It is an art that I have fallen in love with over the past 3-4 years. And now I want to get in shape. I'm tired of staring at a beer gut and man boobs in the mirror in the mornings. I eat like crap and sit all day at work. It's incredible that I haven't gained even more weight than I have. I weighed around 135 when I graduated high school 10 years ago. I joined a gym last week with a friend, but without much direction, we really weren't accomplishing much. Then I read the James bond article on Gizmodo which led me here. I now believe that I can kind of wrap my head around the whole fitness thing. There is a wealth of incredible information to be found here and my hat is off to Steve for providing it to the world! So starting tomorrow, I will be using the tips I've found here to make myself healthier than ever! Thank you, Steve!

Fantastic! In fact, you sound a lot like me. I hated fitness (even through high school), I'm 5' 11" and weighed 210 in January. I'm sedentary at work and I've tried gyms throughout my life without results.

Now I'm 162 and in much better shape. If I can do this, so can you.

Welcome to the Rebellion.
