The Six Hundred Dollar Man

CJ Warren.  A man barely alive.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.  We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. CJ Warren will be that man. Better than he was before. Better...stronger...faster.

OK.  So, I'm not the world's first bionic man, but the rest of it is true.  Instead of replacing parts of my body with superior mechanical tech, I'm working to repair damage I did to my own body through years of neglect.  No magic pills.  No crazy diets.  Just proper nutrition and a comprehensive fitness system.  

The idea behind the name of this first post is this... I've spent thousands, and (*crowd chants back) THOUSANDS of dollars trying to lose weight, get in shape, or trying to be happy with myself along the way.  Once I really figured out the HOW to do it, it cost less that 600 dollars.  Way less.  Bare minimum, it will cost you about $140 (including tax & shipping) to do the same thing I did.  At this time I'm not getting paid or referral fees for anything I recommend.  If, at some point, that changes, I will let you know.  

My goal for this blog is to share the things I've learned and where I've come from over the course of my life so far.  I'll share how I went from around 330 lbs in 2003, to 247 lbs in Feb 2014 (with lots of ups and downs along the way).  Then, from 247 to under 200 in less than 6 months.  I've been tracking my weight & fitness for more than 10 years now, so I have plenty of "before pics", measurements, and notes through the years.

I know some of you reading this are working to making progress of your own, so I'll share some tips of things that worked for me, including the science behind why it works (with sources) whenever possible.  I'll share reviews of things/products I've tried over the years.  What I eat, and why I do so (it's not a crazy diet, and there are no pills, etc).  If you have questions or feedback about something, let me know.  

Hit the share button if there's something that helped you, or you think may help someone else.

Thanks for checking this out!  

BANG!
