    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:
