New Body for a New Year

I joked with my friends that I was working on a secret weapon for the end of the world last Friday and while I was two days late, here is the end result that I unveiled yesterday. RAZZY 2.0



The photo on the left is the one that made me realize I needed to change what I was doing and how I was living. Thanks to the program and a reprogramming of my thought process when it comes to food, I managed to hit my goal with relative ease. There were a few plateaus along the way, but there was never a step back, no missed days in the program and no days over. My longest plateau lasted 2 and a half weeks but, with the help of one friend, I managed to stay calm and resisted the urge to make a change to what I was doing. Eventually, it broke and I was back to losing pounds.

On Saturday, I managed to run for 2 miles straight without stopping for the first time in my life. I've always been very physical, football, fencing, raquetball and hunting, but distance running was never something I could do. I hated running because I would get bored. But thanks to the TVs on the treadmill, I can stick to a half hour run. Currently working on running a full 5km. I've completed one in the past but I had to walk about half of it.

With my goal now complete, I've set a new one. I've seen amazing changes in my body and want to see what I could look like. My moobs are nearly gone and I've dropped three suit sizes, I now wear smaller clothes than I did in High School. I've gone from being one of the fattest in the office to one of the most physically active. My 30th birthday is this June and we're planning a trip to Vegas to celebrate. I would like to reach 200 pounds by then and feel comfortable enough to walk around the pool with no shirt on, something I haven't done since elementary school. I'm now introducing weights.

While weightloss can be a very difficult battle, I've even managed to accomplish an even more impossible task thanks to my transformation. My extra confidence has allowed me to over come the dreaded Friend Zone and my very good friend is now my girlfriend. I finally had the stones to take the leap, something I never would have done last summer.

Thanks for the help MFP. I recommend you to all my friends who are having some trouble. Look out 2013, there's a new man on the block and he's looking to make up for some lost time.
