Thank You and me -42lbs

[OSUPatrick]

First of all I would like to thank the forum for all of the help and info and aid in helping me reach my now foreseeable goals.

About me- I grew eight inches (in height) after high school when I was like 19 now 23 I have just bought xxl shirts for the first time in three years. all done with the help from friends and will power gained from this forum but mostly the diet and eating "clean" (see diet section) working hard and not giving up. It is like I have come over the hump.

All of my new mates at the gym are saying that I will be a beast so long as I keep it up. When we are done at the gym I do cardio and lots of it.

These pics are the first on many in what will be a quest to be a beast.

These pics are me down to 273 from 315 that’s six inches and three sizes.

I now know what a full body pump is and am addicted to it.

Now I am 6' 3.25" 273 and falling

Thank you all
