205 x 35

When I turned 33 in October of 2013 and ticked off another year on the old calendar, I had the occasion to reflect back upon my life. I have lived my entire life up to this point heavy. I weighed in at my heaviest weight of 327 lbs as of my birthday, and in the midst of my reflection - told myself, no more. Enough was enough. I was tired of living my life as a 'fat guy', I was ready to get to living.

It's just too bad it took me 33 years to figure it out... The agreement I made with myself was that I would be down to a healthy and solid 205 by age 35. Hence the channel name, 205 x 35. That is a weight loss of 122 pounds. I have no interest in surgery, I got myself into this mess and I'll get myself out the natural way. Eat right, exercise, work hard - make good choices.

This channel was designed to document the journey as it progresses - to provide inspiration and encouragement for those who might be beginning their own journeys, and to prove it CAN be done... naturally.
