My progress so far
This is me (in the green sweater) in April 2009 And this is me (in the dress :wink: ) in October 2010 I still am so hard on myself about what more I have to lose, but looking at old pictures it hits me how far I have come. I have lost about 70 pounds. Eating right and exercise. Whoda thunk it? Haha!

Scary, HAPPY, then pretty cool!
SCARY: I got up this morning around 05:30 to go to the gym and I heard my 8 month old son struggling to breathe. I internally freaked out and calmly and purposely got ready as fast as I could and took my son to the ER. Long story short, 7 hours, 6 breathing treatments and 2 doctors later, we were released with an inhaler…

NSV: Improved Fitness
So far, I've lost about 9 pounds, which is great for one month. But even better for me has been the improved fitness I'm experiencing by being really diligent about my workouts. Two examples: I play in an evening hockey league (just floor hockey) once per week with some coworkers. I started in October, before the real…

Maintained for 8 months! Thank you!
I am a mere 3 pounds from my goal if you look at my ticker. However that ticker does not tell the whole story. When I started this journey 18 months ago, all I wanted to do was get back to my high school weight, even though that was still considered "overweight" for my height. I attained that goal last winter and decided…

A little non-scale improvement that makes me happy nonethele
So I haven't really lost anything on the scale which is really irritating BUT on the bright side... I can work hard enough to burn 400 calories in 30 minutes. When I first started going to the gym 2 weeks ago I could only do 235 (I remember the number, weird uh?) and felt SO tired. I did a bootcamp class a week or two ago…

From Medium to Small in 18 pounds
Everything is relative. Though I'm not one of the many overweight Americans, I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. At 100 pounds in sixth grade, I was a husky boy. And though I was fortunate enough to loose the extra weight before entering High School, I've always had a fluxuating waistline. 2009 was a rough…

A pound away from 20 gone!!!

I notice I want to walk from one place to another. I have been exercising everyday and loving the way it makes me feel. Yesterday, I rode a bike for the first time in 15…

Anyone else rocking the hobo look?
