I have taken control of my life.
I have created goals and completed them. I have stuck with something and not given up. I have found that with hard work and determination and discipline you can make things happen...
Since weight watchers I have lost a good amount of weight.
I don't want to tell anyone at the moment because Im not done though I will never be done I want to hit my ultimate goal. What I can tell you is...
I hit my Goal weight that I made myself when I was 340lbs and starting on my journey...
AND IT FEELS AMAZING!
To anyone who has doubted themselves and gives up I am here to tell you...
STOP!
DON'T LET YOURSELF GET IN THE WAY!
A year ago I was sitting on the couch at 340lbs a complete mess, depressed, miserable, and practically had given up on hope.
Now I have reached my goal I set then and I see that there is nothing that can stop me except myself.
I'm getting looked at by women I never thought in a million years would look at me in the way they do. I'm working out at the gym and being looked at and complimented because I look so good. I'm not trying to be cocky, I'm only telling you what is going on.
I have people asking me fore tips and help. People who were always thinner than me who have gained weight and now want my advice and help because I HAVE CONQUERED IT!
peoples ears perk up when I start talking weight loss and what I've done.
I recently have talked with a women who goes by the name of Yenny Polanco a IFBB Fitness Pro! Fitness Coach, Elite Personal Trainer, Fitness Model, Fitness Writer.
She has talked with me and wants me to join her team as a motivational speaker for people who are over weight like I used to be. She's competed in ths Miss Universe competition and done some miraculous things with her career.
I am very excited to see where we go with it and what I can do to bring such light to her camp.
As those of you who have known me since I was that other guy I want you to know that I have changed. I have changed in so many ways and for the better. I'm not that old frompy bino. I am now... Robino Africa. I am somebody I am proud to be. I take pride in what I do. I am becoming the man I knew I was to be.
I HAVE to say that this could not have been as great as it's been with out the help and support of my family and my number one supporter and partner Anjelo Africa my brother. He has been there every pound of the weigh. He has been the rock. He's been the guy to tell me when I was fucking up, the guy to yell at me to do that last rep, the guy who has been there for all the LONG days at the gym. He did insanity with me. He has sacrificed his time, his life, his car, his school schedule, his entire life style around mine to make this work. He has given me the biggest shoulder to lean on in dark times and a pat on the back when I feel triumphant. I could never re-pay him for everything he has done for me. I can only say that he is my brother and I would do the same. I thank him for EVERYTHING! And I LOVE him with all my heart. He is one of my best friends as is my other brother Miguel and I am grateful, proud, and honored to call them my brothers.
My grandmother gets double the thanks for the support, the roof over my head, and the diet in my stomach! haha. She has supported me since day one and has kicked me in the ass when I got out of line and still is doing so to this day. She has raised three men from the best that my mother could do. She took us in when nobody could and has been there since day one. I thank her for starting me up at the YMCA and for the constant concern for my health and well being. It's her job as a grandmother anyway ;)
BIG SHOUT OUT to the YMCA who have worked with me financially to make it affordable for my brothers and I to stay. (Elnaiz) She has been an amazing inspiration to me and talked me into weight watchers and has also been there to listen to my pitiful love life and stories through my journey. She has lost a SHIT load of weight and is looking AMAZING! I thank her for her moral support and ranking in the YMCA because without her I think I'd be at "WORLD GYM" with all the meat heads. haha.
I also want to thank my boy Brandon who has been there through this journey and gave me that big brother advice I've never had. Who has pushed me to do this since 8th grade. I love him and will till the day I die. Thank you!
now aside from the usual thank you's I want to thank YOU! for supporting and reading my crap! haha. ok it's not crap... it's actually pretty good haha. But really Thank You for reading and following and supporting.
From 340...
I'll leave you hanging... BAHAHAHA!
Lets just say my second Ultimate goal is to reach 200lbs by summer...
and it is obtainable ;)
How bad do YOU want it?
