Seeing all the fucking hot chicks at the spartan Race got me motivated to drop weight. Best decision in years. At 37 I feel better than I have since at least 10 years.
195 at 5'8 and can do anything now - run, spar, pull ups, burpees, hike, bike, climb, lift, etc.
I'm not saying turn to skinny concentration camp survivor like CN, but bloated and heavy doesnt cut it any more for most things.
