Hey. My name is Dillon. I guess I should share a bit about myself. I grew up overweight, entirely my fault. I thought the world started and ended with junk foods and donuts. Well a couple years ago I was sitting at 220. I spraigned my ankle falling down some stairs and was laid up for four weeks. When I finally got on the scale again I had to pick my jaw up. I was at a terrifying 250. Enough was enough. I accidentally discovered the paleo diet and trial an error'd my way through workouts. It took me 11 months but I dropped all the way down to 180. Now I'm 18, 6' tall, sitting at an awesome 183-185 and about 17% body fat. I can do about 8 pull ups, 5 one armed push ups with each arm, clear an 8' gap, and sprint just over 100 yards in 12-13 seconds. I also practice parkour and a few different martial arts. I think I'm doing alright

It's a pleasure to be here

I sprained my ankle at the peak of my fitness and I gained almost thirty pounds. I can so understand that.

You really sound like you turned your life around!! Good job, buddy! Do you practice in any group settings or are you self taught?

Impressive.

Nice job turning things back around!

Very awesome! I wish I wasn't absolutely terrified of hurting myself and could do acrobatic things! Then again I still have a bunch to lose, so we'll see =)

I've been self-teaching. It's slower, and as a result I have to be more thorough with observing proper technique and preventing injury because I don't have anyone to say, "Hey, you're doing it wrong. It's THIS, not THAT."

welcome! I went thru about the same thing-only with me, it was a knee injury that sidelined me for 6 mos. Took forever to rehab back to where I could start training again-just can't run any more. Wrecked the other knee about 4 yrs ago, but because I was in better shape (just finished a world ranked karate tournament) I rehabbed in about 4 weeks. Keep up the awesome work- you are doing more than 'alright'
