I’ve been working on a weight loss/body sculpting *mod*for a few years now, and I’ve finally hit my goal, going from over 235lbs down to 155lbs. I’ve been self conscious for a long while, but now I’m happy with where I’m at. It’s funny how self hatred can drive you to self love.
It’s one thing to sit under the tattoo needle for a few hours to modify your body, but I think we all too often write off the thousands of hours (and don’t get me started on the pain) it takes to transform ones physique like Paul has.

Good for him :3 I know a good number of modified people who avoid intense exercise out fear of ripping/pulling/scraping something in a baaad way.
Makes me curious as to what he got before, and what he got later.

Fantastic job! I also know how hard it is since I’m doing the same thing. You are crazy HOT.

I’m also in the process of doing the same thing. I’m lucky – thanks to my job, I spend hours a day riding a bike, which is essentially an all-day workout, three days a week. It still takes a LOT of dedication to monitor my super-lazy eating habits, and i really admire your focus. Congratulations, the end result is definitely stunning. 😉

Haha this couldn’t have come at a better time!
I began weightloss endeavours 2 weeks ago, only seven pounds so far but it’s a start enough for me.
I commend thee. 🙂

Congratulations Paul for having such dedication. I was just looking in the mirror today and feeling hard on myself because of my weight and I’ve been thinking about doing something about it. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

SHANNON’S POST INSPIRED MY QUESTION. I AM NOT IMPLYING THAT PAUL HAS AN EATING DISORDER.
Many people with eating disorders are self-described “body builders.” Shannon, commentators, do you believe that mental illnesses can BE mods?

Thanks everyone for the kind words, comments and IMs. It really made my day. 😉
#11, I did this over 3+ years, so my tattoos are smaller but there’s not a lot of excess skin. That might be a problem with rapid weight loss though.
