Hello all!


Quote  |  Reply

Hi, I am Trey Patton, I am 17, and a senior at Wylie High School in Wylie, Texas which is located in North East Dallas.

I did not have a problem with weight until my freshmen year when I stopped sports all in all to focus on academics (bad choice). In 8th grade I played 3 sports: I ran the 1600 in Track, was into my 9th year in soccer (had been playing since I was 5) and played a year of Football. Best shape of my life.

Once I decided to drop sports I started to rapidly gain weight because all I did was eat, sit around and play video games, and go to school. That was about it.

In 8th grade I was a solid 155 at 5'5". I am currently 106.5 and have dropped the weight from around 213, although it has been up and down. After receiving a job at Firestone Complete Auto Care I have started to lose weight. I guess lifting 100+ tires averaging 20+ lbs every week does a number on your body.

So in order to keep up with this heavy weight lifting demand I decided I really needed to lose weight, so I came here :)
