I am a 35 year old guy from West Chester, PA. I was born and raised in South Philadelphia, with the Cheesesteaks and Cannolis. I moved to Cherry Hill, NJ where I went to school. Graduated from High School and went to Shippensburg University to be the place kicker for the football team. That is when all the problems with my weight started.

I played for a few months before my quad was hurt during a foorball game. From then on out I gained almost 200 lbs through my college career. Taking the weight off has been extremely hard for me. I have tried multiple diets and honestly none of them have been as effective as looking at what I am eating, keeping a journal and working out 4 days a week.

Love the outdoors, riding, camping, hiking, golf, sports (football, baseball, hockey, rugby, and Nascar). Love Italian, Chinese and Southern Cooking. I like cooking everything myself and love coming up with new recipes.
