2 years after making a lifestyle change (with pics)

Two years ago I started a journey that has significantly changed my life for so many positive reasons. I do not miss the days of multiple blood pressure meds, monthly doctor visits and simply just not having any motivation. Today I’m biking 5 to 6 days a week. I’m currently registered for 2 upcoming 5k’s and a 70 mile bike ride at the end of the month. My weight has been fairly stable for the last year with fluctuations of about 5 lbs. I’m very thankful for the support from all of my great MFP friends! Thank you!!! I’m not proud of my before pic or the fact that I allowed myself to get to a not so pleasant health situation, but I do look forward to giving another positive update in a year from now!!
