SpacemanSpiff Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hello everyone, stumbled onto this page through some facebook post which linked here to there and everywhere. I've been at the whole weight loss thing for three years now. I'm 5'7", 185 pounds, down from 260. Originally done via conventional wisdom, which became P90X which became Paleo, which has become Crossfit + Paleo. I'm a member of Crossfit DuPage in Lombard, IL. More details to come since I'm traveling right now, but you seem like a great bunch.

Dio Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Wow, huge progress! I'm originally an Ohio boy myself, so I understand how hard paleo can be coming from a deep-fried meat and potato upbringing. (also, having lived in Milwaukee and Chicago, I REALLY respect you put "Chicago burbs"... I always loved the conversation when my Oaklawn or Northie friends would ask someone claiming to be from Chicago "what part" and having the response be something like "La Grange" or "Aurora" and the lecture that would ensue!
