Zarklin Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 First off I want to thank everyone on the site who has been such a great help and motivation! While I haven't been very active on the site lately I wanted to share my woot moment. I pulled the scale out for the first time in a while worried about what I would see.. I've been really bad about keeping my workouts regular however eating 95% Paleo has stuck. To my surprise the scale said 250.2lbs... I actually stepped on and off the scale 6 times thinking it was wrong. My goal from 2012 was to reach 195 from the 315+ I was at. (no idea what I weighed, I stopped checking after 315) I started my NF adventure at 295 in Dec of 2013 and can now say I'm over half way there... 45lbs lost with NF by my side. Thank you Thank you again and again. There is no way I could have done this without the resources and folks on this site. I thank you all. I haven't been at this weight since I don't know when. This was just the push I needed to kick start me back on track. I even TUCKED MY SHIRT IN yesterday.. I could see my whole belt buckle woot! I used to put on draw sting pants to travel cause my belt dug into my stomach... so much win I can't believe I've made it this far. 15 lbs to my next goal and that's was my weight at my HS graduation and I finally know I can get there. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart (that now beats at a normal rate and with proper pressure) And Thank you Steve for founding this wonderful community The check list 315+ lbs 42 pants 3x shirtsUnder 300 [x]40 pants [x]2x shirts [x]275 [x]38 pants [x]XL shirts [x]250 (met my wife weight) [x] L shirt [x]235 (hs graduation) [x] 01/18/201536 pants [x] 01/19/2015 225 (best shape) [ ]215 [ ]205 [ ]195 (9th grade weight, Ideal?)[ ] 9 Quote Level: 2 Half Orc Class: Adventurer STR: 3 DEX: 3 STA: 3 CON: 3 WIS: 2 CHA: 1 My Daily Battle "Do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts.

As an added bonus it came from an affiliate vendor who does not charge sales tax even though it processes through Amazon.Now comes the fun assembly part. 1 Quote Link to comment
