Well i probably would guess you guys and gals not remembering me but im back!

Well to make a long story short here goes. I registered onto this site i think 2 years ago but never really did anything i even stopped weightlifting, meaning i got really lazy. When i graduated from High School last year in 2003 i was 280 lbs at 5'10. I then ballooned up to 300 lbs at the end of 2003. In the second day of january i went to the doctors to check up cause i haven't gone to the doctors in 3 years!! He checked my blood pressure and found it a little high. He then weighed me and thats when i found out i was 300 pounds. I said to myself "what am i doing to myself? Im still young i better change my life style." Within the next day i started dieting because my diet was really horrible with nothing but fast foods. I started dieting really well and did light exercise. To tell you the truth i lost about 55 pounds on just diet and light exercise. I am now 245 and want to continue of course! Obviously i said just "light" exercise did some help. I know if i did alot more than just "light" exercise i can achieve my goal of dropping to 200 lbs.

These past couple of days ive been running at night and ive noticed my blood pressure dropping pretty well. Cause even though i lost alot of weight my blood pressure wasnt really dropping. With the running ive been doing it has done the work and ive realized "ah ha! exercise what the hell have i been missing!!" Well i hope and pray that i can continue on with this goal and be in the best shape for ONCE in my life(being overweight since i was a young boy).

Well people ill be here posting more now. Best wishes to you all.
