I haven't been active (on the forums) lately, but I looked at my old "before" picture and... November, 2014. 190lbs. Feel exhausted, unproductive, steadily gaining weight. I do not believe I will ever be fit, but I bought me a weight set and decided to DO SOMETHING about this nonsense. In my quest to do something, I found Nerd Fitness and began a magical journey. In the meanwhile, I Ate clean (majority vegetables, fruit, protein, "healthy fat"; avoided carbs and added sugar like the plague) Took up bouldering until I injured my ankle in December Stronglifts all the way through Ankle rehab Swimming (lately) Thought my ankle was healed a lot earlier than it was and slowed down healing (it finally has near-full ROM back) 8 months later, it is July, 2015. I am 152lbs and made of muscles. I have more energy than I could have ever dreamed of. I cannot imagine going back to the way things were. My entire life is transformed a thousand times over. To anyone who is new, I seriously hope this inspires the shit out of you. You can do this too - and then go even further. Oh, and GET INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY It was a serious part of this journey for me. You guys rock!
