I have pretty much been overweight for most of my life but have always been active so I never really let it get to me, until recently. In high school I was at my peak fitness swimming and playing water-polo and I thought I would stay that way forever but slowly the weight crept on. Some unhealthy relationships I am sure spawned a little of the gain but I really think the bulk of it was being "one of the guys". I would eat like the guys and even drink like the guys (I have the tolerance of a 600lb man now!) but I didnt have the metabolism of a guy and I started putting on the weight. I really never thought too much about it because I really only saw it in small incriments... i mean, 5lbs here... 10lbs there... it was never too alarming. Now all of a sudden I am 242lbs and feeling SO out of shape it is scary. I really just want to feel better. I get winded easily and I just feel my bones ache sometimes and it scares me being only 25! I have started counting calories and working out everyday and I hope to see some improvements in the upcomming weeks. My current stats are below which I will hopefully be able to update with good things soon. :)
