Pics of what 70 lbs. looks like - 170 days!

wisebadger53 · March 2012

Today marks 170 days for me on MFP, and yesterday I hit the 70 lbs. lost mark, so I thought I would share some visuals. I still have 31 lbs. to go to hit my goal, but every day this becomes more and more of a reality to me.

Hopefully some of you who read this will find a bit of motivation from my journey thus far.

Starting weight 10/9/2011 = 286 lbs. :noway: This picture was my maint motivation for finally getting off of my *kitten* and changing my lifestyle.

1/5/2012 = 246 lbs. At 40 lbs. in just under 3 months I was on my way!

3/26/2012 = 216 lbs. That's 70 lbs. lost in 170 days! Now I'm definitely ready to sprint to the finish line! :drinker:

Along with my weight loss I have lowered my cholesterol dramatically, lowered my blood pressure to well within the normal range, and have even acquired the ability to run for the first time in decades!

There have been times when I really had to push myself to stick with the program, but with the support of my family and the awesome friends that I have found on MFP I have been able to keep the ship moving in the right direction. Thanks to all of you who have helped me, and continue to support me in this journey of a lifetime! :happy:
