Sept 2012 - Sept 2013 through Pictures

My starting weight when I joined My Fitness Pal was 204.8 and wearing a snug size 14, and some 16s.. I had been doing weight watchers for 1 month before that, and started at about 212. I'm 31 now, and am 5'11. I eat between 1750 - 1900+ calories a day and I try to keep my diary set up with my TDEE -15% sometimes more, sometimes less and at times I removed exercise when my schedule was sketchy.

I'm preparing to run my first 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks. I completed a 6KM mud obstacle run this past July. I have scaled back my weight training some to focus on my running, but after my race I will be scaling back the running and focusing on fat loss and lean mass gains starting with stronglifts and going from there.

Blah blah blah, get to the point right!

I currently weigh 177, with my goal being between 170 and 175. And I am wearing mostly size 8's.

I'm not a success story yet - but that's the beauty of health and fitness - there is always something new to challenge ourselves with, something to strive for. Keep moving forward and never look back!!

Now the pictures:

I'm really looking forward to learning so much more from this great community and learning about what my body can do and become as I get into Stronglifts and lowering my bodyfat.
