[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] Nothing like a scare. My own attempts at defattification aren't going so great, but fortunately I'm unemployed, having to severely conserve funds, & cut back on eating, so there's always that. But my motivational point comes from a former Flare member, actually. Siegfried hasn't been around in...forever, but his life's been progressing in some interesting ways. In August of 2006, he decided to start losing weight after going to the doctor & getting a high blood pressure scare. Many of you will remember that he was always a large guy for most of his life (& was all remember the Jedi picture). Anyway, he decided to start taking long walks ever night after work & during lunch breaks, as well as changing his diet. <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/bladeliger/pic/0000bp3y">This picture</A> is of him at the end of August 2006; in his own words, "it was taken about a month into my diet but before I started my regular evening walks. I weigh around 325 pounds, I think. " Along the way he started really getting into it & someone at work hooked him up with one of those "5 free sessions with a personal trainer" at a gym thing. He was reluctant, but went with it. And he found it really helped, that the people were nice & willing to work with him, & he stuck with it, so much so that he's now widely recognized by the staff there. <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/bladeliger/pic/0000a7gf">This picture</A> is him as of mid-December 2007. As he said, "The picture on the right is how I look as of a couple hours ago. It's been about seventeen months since I started my diet, and it's been about eight months since I started at the gym. I weigh approximately 200 pounds." He's looking to get down to I think 180 or so. But godDAMN. If he can do it, I can do it. And so can you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
