My Super Sized Past

As its been stated in our original post, Shannon and I will both be posting individual posts on here and I'll start off by telling my life long struggle with obesity.

My name is Bobby Phillips and I'm 26 years old and have struggled with my weight my entire life. As a child, I was chubby. As a teenager I was husky. As an adult I'm fat. At this point I'm in the morbidly obese catagory or something. My current weight is unknown but about a month or 2 ago I was 408 then I stopped registering on our scale. If I had to guess, I'd say my weight was maybe around 420 or so. I'm determined to lose it though.

When I was 17, right before I met Shannon, I was losing weight. I had gotten to 300 pounds and I started taking Stacker 2 and eating at Grandy's twice a day (at 10:30am and then again at 330pm) and walking a mile after both of those meals. In 6 months of doing this, I lost around 80-90 pounds. I was living at home and didnt have a job yet and I ran out of my Stacker 2 pills right before my family and I went on vacation to Las Vegas where the food is bountiful. I came back a week later and realized that I had gained 20 POUNDS in 7 days!!! I was devastated and it went down hill from there.

I met Shannon like a week or 2 after that and I have been yo-yo dieting since then. We got married when we were 18 and in the first year of marriage I gained around 125 pounds. YIKES!!! In 2008, I lost about 40 pounds before gaining it back. I'm so tired of the yo-yo, so I have decided that this is my last chance. Currently, like I said, I believe my weight to be around 420 lbs.

I just bought TBL DVDs Last Chance Workout and 30 Day Jump Start and I have decided to do the 6 day a week workouts for the 6 weeks on the DVD. I'll keep you posted on my journey and my results as I get them.

My first real goal is to register on our scale. Wish me luck and skinny thoughts.

Good Night.
