in the yr 2002 I Quit smoking I was smoking 3 packs of smokes a day.
At that time I was 286 pounds at 5foot 9.This was in june of 2002. Body fat at 54%
I bought a bike and started riding it every day till it got to cold to ride out side.
So I joined a gym. All winter long I would hit the elliptical machine for 45 min's a night after work. I dropped down to 172 pounds.
Then I started lifting and found my love . Pumping Iron

So now I sit at 195 pounds and body fat at 9.8%
