Tonight, following the Ash Wednesday service at church, my wife snapped a photo of us. She then, after looking at it, reminded me of a picture taken following the Ash Wednesday service last year and the difference in me between today and then.
March 2013 was almost three full months before I began my journey on My Fitness Pal. It was a time when I weighed in around 245 and had constant back aches and always felt tired.
One year later and I'm weighing in at 188lbs (only 3lbs left to my initial goal weight!) and feeling great. When you're losing, you don't really notice the big differences... and then the pictures come out and you can't believe you used to be that person.
If you're just starting out or thinking about starting out, you CAN DO IT! It's tough to track every calorie, to exercise regularly/stay active. BUT the results are worth every minute.
Thank you to my friends on MFP who've helped me get here!
