Gabe is Over Being Overweight

Alright, so here's the facts. I've been a chub ever since I was a kid, back to the kindergarten days when being one was cute. It was never encouraged to be this way, but it was never explicitly discouraged either.

I'm 25 now, and about 80 pounds over where I'd like to be (currently about 305 pounds, at 6'2").  For those of you that know me, I've had an interesting ride - open brain surgery about a year ago, a contributing factor to my weight gain, but at this point - not an excuse.

I'm asking for this money to get a year's membership to a gym, and maybe a pair of running shoes/athletic clothes. The gym will be 24 Hour Fitness - while they're a bit more expensive, the amount of locations will give me the ability (and lack of excuse) to go.

My intention is to go to the gym for at least an hour each day (ideally two), cut my caloric intake, and lose as much weight as possible at a healthy pace. I wanna be the Gabe both you, and I, deserve.

Let's do this.
