When I turned 40 I decided that I was going to to do better. I played football and worked out from the age of 14. The last 6 years I moved to Tulsa Oklahoma from NYC and 10 years in Orlando Florida being a Chef at Disney World. I guess I was depressed and I gained some weight. In April 2011 I reached 297 the heaviest I have ever been. I came to Tulsa weighing 250 and I was fine. I weighed 230 in college when I played football and as time goes on you gain more muscle and weight. The extra 47 pounds is all fat and I want to get rid of it.

I would look like a crackhead if I went down to 185. I am 6'1 and have been a big guy for all of my life. Today as I write this I an 277lbs and I am trying to reach my goal of 250. I am a single father with a 16 year old daughter who keeps me busy and on the go.
