Hello

[Pauly]

Firstly I would like to say Hi and to introduce myself.

I'm Pauly I have battled with depression for sometime and whilst in that dark pit to comfort and food 184kgs later and with my first daughter starting to walk and Daddy always to tired I thought enough is enough.

5 months later now I am weighing 135kgs and plan to be round 95kg by late feburary.

Thank my family for the support and my great head space now wanting to do power lifting as I have alot of natural strenghth thankfully

Also thanks to my bro Bartz on this forum who kicks me out of bed for our 10km walk every morning before weights "asshole" :grin:

Cheers and hope to keep updating as I progress
