ChaoticAggro Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hey all! ChaoticAggro here.I've been lurking around NF for a couple of years now. I ran across the paleo primer when I was first getting in to paleo, and again, about a year later when I was looking into how to start bodyweight strength training, the NF work out videos came up. All the while, I was a little too busy to dedicate my attention to a new community of people. I worked 2-3 jobs and took 18-20 credit hours a quarter (even summer!) at that point....I should back up.So, I moved to Seattle about 4 years ago, and the combined stress of moving, finding housing, and being impoverished because of lack of work, I ballooned. I've always been overweight, but I gained 30lbs in a month, and just kept going. My highest weight was about 280.I found paleo after becoming so sick, and ashamed of my body that I decided to give the first thing that looked scientifically, feasibly healthy a shot.I lost about 70lbs in a year just with switching my eating habits. Then school and work ramped up and it was all I could do to keep up with eating right (if at all! Stupid finals week).Somewhere in the last year, between jobs and school I managed to start bodyweight training at home, and took a weightlifting course at my school to prep me to lift heavy stuff.This week I started stronglifts 5x5, and thought it would be a good time to venture out into the internet and find a fitness community full of "my people". NF was the obvious choice.So here I am. Overwhelmed but enthusiastic. Hi! Quote Prions are nature's way of telling us that cannibalism is for losers. Link to comment
