This is pretty tough for me to do because I know it will come right back in my face eventually. But I can honestly say I have already made improvements so what I do is working for me.

First off, a little background story: Around my sophomore/junior year of high school I put on a lot of weight mostly due to sports injuries of my collar bone/wrist. I weighed up to about 210 lbs. At about the end of my senior year of high school I decided there was time for a change. I wasn't happy with how I looked.

The first thing that needed to change was my diet. I drank way to much Mountain Dew and ate greasy fast food almost daily.
What I changed: My fast food intake went down, I only ate Taco Bell (chicken quesidilla) or Subway (sweet onion chicken teryaki sub). Everything else I made at home and was something healthy for you. I tried to eat less chocolate junk foods. I do cheat every once and while and eat a french fry from McDonald's or something but I just overall feel like crap after doing so.

I also decided I needed to work out more than just going to practices and games.
What I changed: I decided to run 2 miles daily. That's it.

1 year has passed, and how have I benefited from this?  I now weigh 168 lbs. I lost roughly 40 lbs in the process.

But I am not done.

I do not currently have a certain weight I am trying to accomplish so I am going to continue what I am doing but add more to it.
