My history is pretty similar to yours, though my fatness began to change when I "accidentally" became an athlete in a DI rowing program. I still compete and still workout 2-3 hours daily, but man! everyone needs a break sometime. Your body needs rest to generate new muscle growth, at the very least.

You're an animal!
