Jamin Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hello fellow rebels, My name is Jamin (pronounced Jay-men) and I have recently joined the rebellion. My story goes back nearly a year ago at college. Many things have changed since then, for better or worse but the one thing I pride myself most in those dark days was the choice to begin losing weight. I started at a hefty 297 pounds. Little by little I began to research and study all things fitness that I possibly could and I probably discovered Nerd Fitness more than once. By the end of my first semester I had lost 20 pounds and was feeling good about my steady weight loss. Only until I discovered the Paleo diet did I really began to drop weight however. Since January I have lost nearly 60 more pounds. I currently weigh between 215 and 220, I have begun to care less about my weight and more about my body composition and sizes. A few weeks ago I rediscovered Nerd Fitness and decided to finally join the rebellion, after all for life is a big commitment, I had to make sure I was ready. I decided to travel the humble path of the Monk and just yesterday I joined a local MMA gym and began taking boxing classes. The path lays before me clearer than ever and I am prepared to begin my humble journey. I look forward to meeting many new friends and of course above all else "For the Rebellion!" This is me at 297: This is me about three months ago: And this is me now: Quote Link to comment
