Over the years this site has seen many visitors. People come and go, but those who stick around for a while see personalities emerge. Some become leaders, others detractors. Still others sit in the wings; learning, enjoying and hopefully giving back in some way. Ultimately, when the journey begins we are all aiming, striving and aspiring to be something more; to be better than when we entered. How that plays out for some may be completely different then others, but the theme is the same.
I am one of those visitors. Someone who has been around a long long time. I come and go from the forums but can't help but find my way back. You might think this is because of set-backs and at some points that would be accurate. Today though I come to you with success. I have continued to lose weight and at 5'5" am down to 143lbs. A weight that is 7lbs lighter then what I had thought possible for at least a decade. Something which I achieved through GUTS and the fine people of this forum. For those that don't know, I've lost some 44-45lbs overall.
After time off though, here I am again. A man no longer in need of counting calories to maintain and lose weight, because he has a firm grasp of proper portions. A man who knows nutritionally what's going into him (good OR bad.) Still though I am back, and there is certainly a reason.
I come to you with tidings of joy. I am to be married on June 20th. With it I will embark on a wonderful journey with my fiance, my companion. As part of that journey John has posted somewhat of a challenge for me. The challenge, take the power belt (one of the few products from Transformetrics I don't have) and use it. Not just use it, but test it. Move with it. Work with it.
As it turns out, as I was typing this up, I got some mail. That's right the Power Belt! Tomorrow I will take some pictures in the morning, and then work with the belt to get myself as far as I can in the 16 days leading up to the wedding. This doesn't mean I will quit once the wedding gets here, I'm just curious to see what I can achieve in such a short time with the device.
The question now becomes how to best use it. Time is not on my side, and so experimenting will have to come afterward. I'm happy and eager to hear suggestions from the Forum though and look forward to this little "test" of mine.
