    Very impressive! You were given a chance to change and you took that first step and look where it took you! You are so fortunate to have been able to experience all that you have in your young life and you will always have a fantastic story of accomplishment to share!

    That's awesome and inspirational! I'm hoping to have the same story as you!

    My largest was about 240 and hoping to get to 190ish - looking to do it pretty much the same way as well! Meat and veggies all the way! :)

    Edit: I'd also be curious how you got to the 18% body fat number. I'd guess you're quite a bit lower than that.

    A year ago I weighed a whopping 245lbs. 30%+ bodyfat. 38 inch waist. Heavy breathing going up stairs! Unhappy, unhealthy. In a horrible relationship.

    Jan 2011 I decided I wanted a change...I needed a drastic change.

    I sold all my personal possessions. Got out of my relationship. Moved out of my apartment and traveled for months around the world. I took a vacation from myself, searched out my true happiness. I found love in every corner of the planet, took random little jobs, I had adventure, skateboarding in northern Africa, running around on beaches in Thailand, cliff jumping in Greece. I wanted more from my life, and I was out to take it. I felt worlds better about myself and finally felt a break from my troubles - thats when the weight loss started...

    You are soooo my hero. :drinker: I have wanted to do something like this for years, but I don't have enough personal possessions of any value that I could sell to finance a trip like that. :cry:
