GPOYW - One year and 29 pounds ago. I was going back through pictures from my post-graduation trip to Europe last June, and was struck by the totally different person I saw in the photos - that’s me at 217 lbs. It may look like the same outfit, but those jeans on the right are 4 inches smaller in the waist, and the shirt is a large, not an XL. Thanks largely to Tim Ferriss’s fitness method, which I started in late March (just over 3 months ago), I’m now down to 188 lbs, which is 17 lbs less than my weight of 205 at the beginning of my “experiment”. I have also gained significant muscle mass as well. I feel great, and completed my first 5k in May. So to all those out there that need motivation to get to the gym - do it. I know it hurts at first, but you’ll slowly develop some stamina, and before you know it, you’ll be in shape. The diet is tough too, but struggle through - it takes two weeks to change your body’s tastes and eating habits. It gets easier, and the payoff is worth it. If anyone wants to discuss more about what I did for exercise, diet or anything else, feel free to reblog or comment, and I’m happy to answer any questions or help in any other way possible.
