Reply to Finally getting in shape. :)

Hey folks. Its been a while. I've been incredibly busy and just wanted to give an update on where things have gone.

New brand officially as DJ Zoomski is up and I'm getting my foot in at clubs now. But I saw myself and realized I didn't look the DJ part. I was 200lbs at 5'8" and unsightly. I had man boobs and looked 9 months pregnant.

I decided enough was enough. I went from eating junk food, wings, and fast food every day to a clean, organic diet that is more than half vegan and otherwise containing fish and other lean meats/eggs. I'll modify it as I go and add supplements to eventually be mostly vegan, but I'm trying to at least be totally clean right now. No processed crap. No empty calories except for one beer/wine per week. Lots of water. Lots of....

EXERCISE. No life-changing weight loss is worth a damn without exercise. I'm doing Power 90 cuz I have no muscle to start from and P90X demands a base. Next round will be X with Insanity. I'm alternating cardio and sculpting 6 days per week and a rest/stretch day on the 7th.

When I told everyone how much I had lost in the first 3 weeks, I kept hearing things like "You'll put it back on." or "That's too much weight too quickly". All from heavyset people with no clue, of course. They don't realize that not only am I exercising, but I'm cutting back to 1500 calories daily from like 3000 or more and eating clean. I lost 11lbs in 21 days. I'm back up 2 today (Day 24), but its not about the scale really. I'm building lots of lean muscle! My gut has shrunk 2.5" and my whole body has shrunk in size by an average of an inch.

I am back in pants I haven't worn since high school. I was in 36s and am back in 33s. I was at one point debating XL tshirts to cover the gut. Now I'm close to wearing mediums again.

Here are some before and afters, not to brag (cuz its subtle to this point), but to inspire others and hopefully help end the obesity problems in our world.
