Just wanted to share :smile:

I started this journey on February 6th, 2006...I made the decision to change my life & my lifestyle. I was 295lbs (the heaviest I'd ever been), completely out of shape (bending over to tie my shoes was cardio for me), eating total crap on a regular basis and I was constantly feeling worn down & out of energy.

Fast forward 12 weeks: I'm down to 269lbs (a loss of 26lbs or 9% of my starting weight), I'm in the best shape I've been in a long time (60 minutes on an elliptical machine? No problem!), I pay attention to what I eat & how much I eat (that's not to say I don't sneak in the odd treat here and there! :wink: ) and, honestly, I've never felt BETTER! I've got tons of energy, I don't feel stiff all the time and things are awesome!

People are noticing the changes in me...everywhere I go, everyone comments on how thin I look and how much happier I seem.

This...is...awesome!

Of course, next week I'm off on holidays to Vegas...so it could all go to crap then! Ha ha!

Thanks for all the support from the community here...it's been great!

26lbs down...44 more to go :happy:
