Hey everyone, I've been lurking in the shadows off/on for the past few months, decided that I've made up my mind and thought now is the time to join the forums.
I'm from Canada, been lifting on/off since I was a teen, and now I'm in my late 20s, and I feel like I've reached a point in my life where I need help.
When I was about 21 I felt like I was a good size, roughly 220 pounds. Then, I ended up becoming a father, and life took over, and stuff got put on hold, and for about 3 years I never touched a barbell. I got fat, I got lazy. Mortgage, Car Payments, Diapers, these all became priority.
A year and a half ago I started up again, and gave it everything, and only now am I just barely touching what I was when I was 21.
I'm suppose to get married in October, and we're taking a couple weeks for our honeymoon, and I wanted to look amazing for it. My spouse, shes amazing, and she used to drool over me when we were younger, and I feel terrible that I let myself go. This past year I've made really great progress, but I'm not where I wanted to be at this point, thats why I'm looking for a little help now. I wanna do this for her, but also for me too.
Anyways, I'm gonna hang around here for awhile, get to know the regulars, I want to make sure I do this right. I'll take any advice given, and hopefully in the near future, get set up with a good source and on the right path to "making it".
