I was the typical guy that was in good shape during high school and college. During those times I was active and worked out diligently. I was around 160 pounds with a body fat percentage of 7%. I could eat pretty much whatever I wanted to and as long as I worked out and played some ball I was good to go. After college I stopped working out as much and steadily the pounds started to creep back on. I noticed that my pants were starting to get tighter and I had to buy bigger pant sizes. I finally hit the bottom when I noticed that fat rolls were starting to hang over my jeans. Although I was afraid I hit the scale and was mortified when I saw the 189 pounds show up. I had gained almost 30 pounds!
