Who’s Rick?
So a little background information on me.
I’m 20 and a sophomore in college. I never had problems with my weight until I started junior high. I blame lack of activity, poor diet skills, and extreme stress from keeping a major secret from my friends and family (my sexuality) on my weight gain.
I quickly entered into the obese section on the BMI scale and even as a high schooler needed to wear men’s waist size 40” dress pants. I hit my all time high weight at 236 lbs when I was 17 in January of 2010. With a height of 5’ 9” my BMI was near 35.
I kicked it into gear and slowly over time I managed to work my self down. Currently (January 2012) I have lowered by weight under 180lbs. With a height now of 6’ my new BMI is under 25.
I am very proud of myself and everything that I have managed to accomplish but I’m still not done. I’m still border line over weight and am finally ready to finish my weight loss process and continue moving towards and much more healthy and happy lifestyle.
