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!

"I still don't know what I should do. What [he's] doing isn't for his own gain. He walks the path he believes in, one step at a time. Wishing only for the happiness of those around him. I, on the other hand... I thought I didn't have a path that I could take laid out before me. But like he said, that's just running away. I must find my own path."

This is a great inspiration! Thankyou so much and I'm doing the opposite really in the fact I'm trying to gain weight in muscle.
