I was always unhappy with my weight. It just got to the point where I said enough was enough. I needed to do something or I was going to die.

I just wanted to be like my friends and be able to do the things they do at 20 years old, like going to the beach without being embarrassed to take your shirt off, go to the gym, play sports and everything else.

What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
My lifestyle and the people I hang out with. All my friends are very into their body and fitness.

What was most challenging about losing weight?
Not being able to go out and party and eat what every one else eats.

Weight loss tip #1:
Stop eating when you are bored!

Weight loss tip #2:
Try to eat at the same time every day so you have a set schedule.

Weight loss tip #3:
Always have protein in every meal. Whether its egg whites, raw tuna, or a protein shake.
