Just saying what's up to the mfp community. I've been using mfp for a while now, and it's been great. I hope everyone is working hard toward achieving their fitness goals.

As an intro, I used to weigh around 170lbs or so in 2010. I was pretty big; I didn't have very good nutritional and fitness guidelines. I drank constantly, then ate whatever I wanted, then slept after I ate. Even when I hopped on mfp, I kind of starved myself (not a good look). I made it to 150lbs, and stayed there until Spring 2012. I took up muay thai boxing and hopped on the paleo diet soon after.

It's January 2013, and I'm at 134lbs and 9% bodyfat (tape measure test).

I decided to compete in a muay thai fight, and one of the goals was to make weight. I reasoned that, if I train for the fight, a better physique would be more of a by-product than a goal. The actual goal was to condition my body to withstand three two-minute rounds of punches and kicks, and the best way to do that was to gain muscle and lose fat.

In my opinion, nutrition is 98% of the battle. A six-pack is made in the kitchen, not at the gym. I recommend (i) paleo diet, (ii) giving up alcohol, (iii) giving up refined sugars, and (iv) make exercise interesting by taking up a class or something.

That is all. Hope everyone is good.
