Hi all my name is james (Fitz). Im 34 and well to say the least FAT as hell. Im making big changes in my life this past month. I been drinking soda for like all my life and usually a 12 pack a day. i felt like crap. I was at a local resturaunt about a month ago and a older man walked in while i was eating my double swiss burger with hot sauce and mushrooms, And he was bigger then me. At that point i realized i needed to make a massive change or that was gonna be me. Over the last month i been drinking NO soda and watching what i eat. I joined the local Gym and to say the least i been feeling great. I know this isgonna be a long road but hopefully a satasifing one. Im hoping to get down to 220 Lbs. And its funny but my main goal is to be able to go to the beach and not have to wear a shirt cause im embarassed about the way i look. Thanks for reading my long post. and ill keep plugging away at
