Hey my name is Mike and I am a freshman at University of Delaware. I'm originally from Baltimore,

I had always been rather overweight my whole life. When I was around 16 I got back in shape and promptly regained all my weight plus some after some rather depressing times.

Anyway, I had maxed out at 245 pounds this summer (2010) before deciding I needed serious life style changes. I can't tell you how embarrassing and shitty it feels being that obese it's just terrible.

Start: 245

Goal: 185 (almost there!!)

I'm making this photostream as a way to keep motivating myself and hopefully to motivate others to improve themselves as I have. It feels so good having people look at you and judge you in different ways simply due to your appearance and weight. If you are someone looking to change your life for the better I want to tell you it is so worth it. Get started.
