I like how your swagger has changed. In the first picture, you look like a nice fun guy, but in the second you look just as nice and fun, but you have a "How you doin' " kind of look. It looks like confidence!

What a tremendous job! You look terrific!
Would you share some about your journey? What did you do? How did you stay motivated? What was the hardest thing for you and how did you overcome it?
Keep up the great work!
Well I started dieting and exercising back in September of 2010. I saw a picture of myself and I could not believe I had allowed myself to gain so much weight. I had also tried to fit into some of my winter clothes and could not get into hardly anything. So I decided to change my eating habits and started going to the gym.
Motivation: I am going into the healthcare field and I have seen it time and time again where a medical professional is speaking about diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and high cholesterol and how it is important to eat healthy and exercise. While they are up their speaking about all these health risk factors, they are not practicing what they preach--they themselves are extremely over weight. So with that in my mind I was determined to set an example. When I graduate in 4 years and go into the health field I want people to know I practice what I preach. I don't want to say all these things to a group of people about how important exercising and eating healthy is, if I myself do not do that. So that has been my biggest motivation thus far and continues to motivate me.
The main thing I have done is just watch what I eat and workout. I made a lifestyle change and called it that. I no longer call it a diet because they don't work for me.
Hardest thing for me to overcome in the last 9 months was when I quit using MFP for a few weeks. I gained about 5 pounds back. I got back on one day and read some success stories and that motivated me and I began documenting again.
I wish everyone the best of luck on their weightloss journey. No it is not easy, but we can do it if we stick with it.
On a side note: Last year this time I could not run a half a mile without stopping. I can now run around 4 miles!0 -
Yes, but pretend it is you looking at your computer screen as a mirror. Which side would the Polo sign be on.. your left or your right?? Your Left.I dunnoo.... either way, the "old" pic it's by the left arm, on the "new" pic it's by the right... mirror or not... lol lol
If it is real, CONGRATS you look great...
If not...
So because of the mirror + camera effect you get a backwards image.. but both polo's are by his left arm. I know I did the same thing...

Come on people, it's obviously him, look at the eyebrows. Also, my nose widens when I smile and is narrower when I don't, it's not that crazy. Looks like he ironed his shirt and got a tan before posting the second one, that's all.0 -
