Some of you have seen me post out here. I hate the main boards and refused to use them even before going primal 1/1.
I posted my summary out there at

and I'll share the embarrassing photos to you all too ;)

    Thanks, I feel a bit indestructible :)
    Other than the compression t shirt, I don't have a thing that fits :) Even clothes from college hang on me.
    So glad I trolled MDA and made that decision to throw away the grains (and hfcs). Everyone says , "wow that is so hard" - it was the easiest thing I have ever done, and much more satisfying than when I was counting calories and feeling deprived.

    That is the way this lifestyle will spread, by all the brave people that share their amazing personal stories. Congratulations!

    Mike, your transformation is amazing! Your pics are great (even your heaviest "most embarrassing" is pretty cute!) I think it's time to go clothes shopping.

    I agree, quitting grains and sugar has been a lot easier than I would have thought. (Except don't ask me about today, Easter Sunday's fabulous brunch buffet complete with dessert table. Needless to say, I feel bloated.)

    Anyway, congratulations on your success. Don't feel shy to share your pics and your success. It's all good.

    thanks again. Yes I feel fantastic. 90 days from now, I'll post again. It won't be a weight loss, but I am pretty confident there will be a difference.
    It was just so frustrating trying to lose before I started primal. I was convinced it was my age and lack of testosterone :)
    I had set a goal of 175 lbs. I blew through that like it was a bag of pork rinds.

    Wonderful!!! I'm committing myself to a full 90 days of grain free too! I haven't been as strict as I would like- due in part to non supportive in laws who cook things I can't eat and then invite us over for dinner, lol.
