malibuilder is in the house
Hey everyone, Alen here. I will be jumping in instead of SCT. I was following you guys so far and now it’s time for us to do it together. I feel very motivated and I hope I can pass on some of the good vibes on to you people and make you come out of this as winners. OFC, I will give you some hard time as I can be serious competition 
This is supposed to be my introduction post so here it goes.
My name is Alen, but you can call me mali, it’s a nickname that stuck over the years and it translates to “little” it was a joke in the beginning but over the time everyone started calling me like that and now I have people who only know me by that nick.
I am 27 and I work as IT consultant and I also like to think of myself as an artist. I have about a million of ambitions and things I want to achieve I just have to find the way to stop sleeping and make my days last a week 
Anyways it wasn’t always like that. Strange, but many stories start like this I used to be competitor back in my junior days and a successful one too. I won several medals, including two times junior state heavy weight vice-champion. By the year 2000 I was in the best shape of my life and then came the great disappointment. It was my last year as a junior and competing as a senior in a heavy weight meant taking loads of steroids and generally not living healthy. I have a father who was a competitor during 70’s and 80’s. He spent his life devoted to healthy living and never injected anything stronger than a vitamin C and I wasn’t to be the one to turn into a black sheep. Decision was to continue with competing as natural and probably never enter finals or quit and go to college. So I went to college and almost forgot about the sport.
What I realized several years after was that competition was only a way, a simple goal that made all the hard work make sense. Without it I was clueless and wondered in the dark. Of course I went to the gym from time to time, sometimes even for a whole year but in the end I would give up and fall into decay again. During college and two years after I led most unhealthy life style. Partying, drinking and eating one fast food meal somewhere in the 02:00AM and sleeping all day or working some crappy job that made no sense to me, but I had few choices. Point is I woke up one day and decided to change all that. I stopped smoking and drinking all in the same moment, five years ago and never took a cigarette or a drop of alcohol again.
Thank came five years of trying to get my life where it should be. For a while I had a hard time finding a good and steady job. I worked as an instructor in the gym for a while, but they closed the gym and finally some two years ago I got the employment as an IT consultant in a largest meat factory in my country. Good and steady job with decent pay. It wasn’t a dream come true but it was a starting point.
Anyways, working in a meat factory has its own drawbacks, like eating meat and fat all the time LOL. And so one day I was facing the monitor, breathing heavy, sweating and feeling like I will never get of the chair.
Some three months ago I found bodyspace.com and started my own account. That was a beginning of my journey back to normal. I made radical changes and made great progress, in only seven weeks I was reborn and felt much better. Then came Steph a.k.a. Daretosoar and she pointed to me there was a competition for all who want to transform their bodies. That gave me the greatest motivation possible and even I wasn’t chosen for the first five I never gave up on the idea to transform myself.
My goal is to get down to 100 kg and 10% body fat, but for now 15% is more realistic and 105kg. Right now I am 115kg and 25% body fat. I will lose those 10% by the end of this competition and I will also help you all guys to achieve your goals. There will be no looser on March 26th.

Please don’t mind the gloomy face I am just trying to scare you out of winning this race
