About Me

My name is Aj. Vanity and insecurity with my body is something that crosses my mind on a daily basis. There's much more important things in life and I refuse to become a dormant statistic on bad health. When I was 17 years old as a senior in highschool, I weighed 304 lbs. I'll never forget the look of disdain on my physicians face as he read back my results. I lost 100lbs but recently hit a plateau and now I'm here to rectify the sloth. A size 34 is better than the 44 I used to be but I would prefer 28, just to be safe.

Why I Want To Get In Shape

Aside from the obvious health and physical benefits, I would like to join the military because I'm an army brat. I would like to be a father one day and be physically active with my children, giving them that stimulation that was lacking in my own childhood which contributed to my obesity. And I would like to become a role model for those who go through what I did on a daily basis. Train with them, encourage them and dish out some accountability.

Take a look at my pictures of evolution to where I'm at now compared to my "glory days" of obesity. I was 310lbs in the picture with WWE Shawn Micheals and myself in the white jacket. I was 315 in the Marley shirt. Those pictures assist me in remaining focused on my mission.

My Inspirations

  • Honoring my body like a temple as the Good Lord intended it to be.
  • To become active in the Military Police unit and fulfill my army ambitions
  • My JCPenney card that sits unused until I get my pant size goal of 28.
  • To feel rejuvenated and provide a mental cleansing to relieve any burden.

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried,
Anyway you've always known the many ways I've tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long, winding road,

The Long and winding road to losing weight!!!!!!
