My wife and I have short and long term plans if things go wrong. We live in Alaska where 95% of our food is from outside the state and there is maybe 3 days worth on the store shelves. So any serious disaster on the West Coast that disrupts shipping or another earthquake like the one in 64 could really put this state in trouble. We are building up our food reserves at the house, and both have bug out bags in our cars. We also have a remote cabin about 90 minutes outside Anchorage to bug out to if things really go downhill. We try to be reasonably prepared. Many of the people in the prepper community make it their life, it's all they do. I think a catastrophy of such scale that the US will be plunged into widescale rioting and looting is unlikely but not unthinkable so we want to be ready but not obsess over it. Oh, and it's a question of when not if, the dead rise from their graves to feast on the flesh of the living.

I will, still putting together my program or routine and I definetly want to do something for the next 6 week challange.

Hey All, So I've been following the NF Rebellion for a while and decided I need to join up to help keep me motivated and on track. I guess a little background is in order. I've always been a big guy, 6'1", broad shoulders, just large all around, and that kind of let me get away with being overweight as I appeared "stocky" rather than "fat" and could weakly keep that self image in my head, but when I hit 300 lbs. I knew I had to change things. I'll be 30 this year and I need to do this now or I worry I won't ever do it. I got up as high as 313, but was around 308 when I started getting serious. I joined a gym right by my work and am going to go every day at lunch, lifting heavy 2-3 times a week, focusing on squats, deadlifts and bench press, and working on cardio the other days. Diet-wise I am working on a modified Paleo, with my goal of eating paleo roughly 80% of the time. My wife is a big bread and pasta fan, so my plan is to slowly work that out of our diets over the next few months. I just have to be sneaky about it. I am giving up beer for the next 3 months while I jumpstart my healthy living and eating, which is extremely hard for me as homebrewing is one of my hobbies. I'll just have to sample it and give it out between now and then. Anyway, that's me.
