What peaked your interest in training?
My waist size: at the age of 19, I had issues with motivation and discipline. Because of this, my waist was nearly 40 inches. Realizing the direction I was headed, I committed myself to changing. Over the course of the next year I dropped nearly 100 lbs (260 – 170lbs).
