Wow Cantare, I am so impressed! My husband has a similar build he's 6' 2" and now down to 233, the lowest I've ever seen him and we've been married for 19 yrs.

Do you ever hike in the Marin headlands? I also love Point Reyes; I have many fond memories hiking there, we lived in the East Bay and SF for 10 yrs. It's funny now that we live in a less populated area it's hard to find good places to hike.

Cantare, you are a new man. You look great!

KCarol, gorgeous! I can't believe the difference in your body!

Johnny, wow, congratulations. You are looking so good.

I lurk, A LOT. I don't post much, but figured I'd at least put this up.

I am not close to my target, but inching closer every day. On the left (august,2010), I was roughly 430lbs with type 2 diabetes (in that pic, I didn't know it yet). I didn't really start on the primal blueprint untill January 1st of this year. Before that I was mostly CW and lost some weight though hard fought (lost 40lbs in 2011 on CW, Lost 70+ This year alone) On the right(May 12, 2012), I am a 308lb Level 1 certified Krav Maga practicioner and no longer a diabetic. I currently weigh in at 295lbs. Just thought I would share.

Remember me?

I lost a few more since...

I am definitely in agreement with those of you who wish you had a pic from day 1, but I'm not going back to get one. I love seeing the improvements that everyone has made, so I'll post up my before and during as well:
This is what I looked like in 2011:

5 months by UniqueTII, on Flickr

I still have a lot of work to do, but I feel great! My chronic and severe heartburn/reflux has gone away, I can think clearer, I have more energy, I'm getting my strength and stamina back, and so on...

2 months later, here's today's update:

7 months side by UniqueTII, on Flickr

My gut is gradually disappearing. I haven't been lifting much for the past 7 months but I just started a new routine yesterday and I can't wait to see what changes it will bring!

[Kakes]

Amazing results everyone! Holy moly!
It never ceases to amaze me how big a change comes over so short a time for so many people here- even when I'm one of them!
Primal life is SO GOOD!
