Hi everyone-
I haven't posted at all in a really long time, but things are going really well for me, so I thought I'd check back in.
I last posted here: [url]http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread6138-439.html#post897019[/url] and have lost another seven pounds since then. Hopefully it's mostly fat! This was me in March last year, at maybe 190 pounds ([url]http://i.imgur.com/7Mnof.jpg[/url]). I'm 168 as of yesterday.
Still doing a lot of weight training, with olympic weightlifting as my main passion (though I've been sidelined with a sprained ankle that I've had to be nice to, which is annoying).
Here's me tonight. Sorry for low image quality; I'm just dancing around my childhood bedroom having fun.

Everyone is looking great, you are all such inspirations to me!

I have a slightly different story of going Primal: started with no muscle and was sick all of the time. I'll have to do an entire write-up, but basically, I discovered my gluten sensitivity on my own and have then felt 100x better. No more migraines, no more brain fog, and it helped eliminate my depression.
After 3 months Paleo, discovered gluten intolerance. Dropped some bodyfat around stomach.

That was me a few years back, around (emphasis on ROUND) 220. I started this project late last February. Presently at 167, feel twenty years younger (ride the mountain bike, am back at Kun Tao class, ...)

I'm to the right. (And yes, that's Buddy Valastro. I kinda liked the irony.) Sorry for the not-the-greatest shots, but frankly I'm still nothing you'd want to see without a shirt.
