MuscleDog.com - Connecting you to a better body!

i was always fat, i was even over-weight when i was born, and all throughout school and highschool i was always larger, significantly… my biggest was actually 9mnths ago, i was pushing 300lbs, 295lbs would be exact weight i believe but im sure my largest was atleast 300lbs, And i was only 16. But the year of 8th grade something was changing, i was getting to like girls a lot…….and again…a lot. So there was this one girl i swear i honestly loved, i asked her out and was REJECTED dead on the spot. that hit a string in my heart and i was so devistated *Also i was rejected 14x in all in highschool all different girls as well* That night i went home took a look at myself and………HIT THE GYM AND NOW IM RIPPED! END OF STORY…..Right? Nope Completely wrong. Couldnt BE anymore wrong. I Ate a tub of ice-cream, some soda , chips, oh and i believe i had a cupcake or 3. Yep that was my outlet, Junk…. About a year passed and then honestly, i woke up one morning, and i was shocked to how far i let myself go, i honestly couldnt handle it. And from then on i hit the gym, counted my calories, and Snuck in a cheat day every now and again ;P But it was honestly weird how i changed in just one day, i still cant believe it only took that 1 day and i was hooked. i Dropped 102lbs in 8mnths and now i am starting to gain muscle. in 8mnths i turned around 16years. in 240 days i turned around 5840 days of my life. In 5,843 Hours i turned around 140,253 Hours. You get the point. That is my story :D

“I can’t help but laugh, at how awkward me and matt are LOL, we seem to have an affixation on Breakfast, we ALWAYS send Breakfast pics to each other, sometimes we send 3rd or 4th or heck even 6th meal pics but at least once a day we take a pic of food and send it”
 
Yeah!! That is super WEIRD!!! Everyday?? It better be a beautiful presentation!! You should start a journal and post your diet workout and food PICS!!

This is so amazing and inspiring that you were able to accomplish this at such a young age
 
How did you do it? 
 
Were did you learn how to count calories and workout??

“240 days i turned around 5840 days of my life. In 5,843 Hours i turned around 140,253 Hours. You get the point”
 
Unbelievable! Well put! You have your entire future to look forward to and it’s so great that you were able to accomplish this at your age… I wonder what that girl you asked out would say now!!!
 
Have you talked to them since??

you dont need to know how to workout to lose weight, you just eat better and move around.  good job bro.

“This is so amazing and inspiring that you were able to accomplish this at such a young age   How did you do it?    Were did you learn how to count calories and workout??”Thank you! Before i started training my body i knew i must train my mind first, so about 2 weeks before even stepping foot in the gym i trained my mind to not desire bad food, and i ate healthy for 2 weeks without excercising and i dropped maybe 3 or 4lbs, After i trained my mind to be Disiplined I started reading up on everything basically online, and in the magizenes, some Magizenes less helpful than others, but i got the Jest of it, With counting calories i never even took that into mind until i read an article that was called “Fat Doesnt Make You Fat Calories Do!!” And i was one of those people who if they had a bowl of cereal and looked on the back of the box and it said 130cal. i would fill up a bowl to the brim and half the box would be empty and i would think, “WOW! ONLY 130 calories!” And then wonder why i gained so much weight. In The Article it said One Very acurate way to count calories is by a Food Scale, So i bought one and amazingly I still have the same one today! It was only about $6 its nothing special, just a little scale that has a spring measure in it, i wish it was digital sometimes i think it would be easier! haha.

“In The Article it said One Very accurate way to count calories is by a Food Scale, so i bought one and amazingly I still have the same one today”
 
This put a smile to my face. I love hearing how people started their journey to living a healthy lifestyle.
 
A simple scale changed your philosophy about eating healthy and balanced!! Most people don’t even take the time to read up on nutrition/training and expect to see instant results.. You are certainly on the right path..
 
Have you ever thought about competing?? 
  
 
 
“haha, Yes i have actually, she is very flirty with me anymore. we still remain friends today, its funny because here i was being the flirty one, and the tables have really turned! Honestly i have to say it feels awesome! “
 
Its funny how life has its funny ways of working out.. This girl actually motivated you to change your life for the better. I hope you are being flirty back!! You owe her that hahah jk..
I am really happy for you buddy.  You have a lot going for you.
 
What are your future goals?

Wow, that is amazing!!

“Have you ever thought about competing??”
Yes! I would love to compete someday, that is actually one of my goals :) 
“What are your future goals?”
Thats tough to say really, i do want to compete like i said, but i also initially lost weight for pro-wrestling training, but it seems bodybuilding has pretty much consumed me more so than wrestling so i think Bodybuilding may be a safer calling as of now. But i wouldnt totally shine the light off of wrestling! Also i would someday like to maybe make it on TV and explain to the world my story and teach children and teens that YES you can do it if you set your mind to it! Just because you are fat or were fat all your life doesnt mean you have to stay like that! We as humans are sculpters, our bodies clay, when we have the tools and imagination…well, there is not stoping us from creating a masterpiece. I think i was fed up with all the ripped people on TV who said “YOU TO CAN LOOK LIKE ME!” And their before picture had them all bloated when in reality they were never really fat a day in their life, that photo was probably taken after they were sidelined from the gym for an injury for a month or so. I want to be real with people. i want to inspire, teach, and grow.

Awesome feature Laura, I really enjoyed the read, you guys have a good site here. That is so cool that you guys feature this story, not only does it give his cause recognition but it gives incentive for people out there with lack of motivation or something to strive for if they are looking for it. This is the type of payment one gets when they work hard and accomplish what they set out to do, recognition and respect.

i hope you know that we feature a story ever week.. we alternate male and female.
