9 months on MyFitnessPal

_Ben

Hey guys,
I just hit 9 months here on MyFitnessPal, and it has been 6 months since I have achieved and maintained my weight loss goal. It has been a difficult road, filled with a lot of stuggles, up and downs, temptations, etc. Here are some photos of my journey. NOTE, I hate taking serious photos. I make goofy faces, a lot:

Starting weight ~185lbs









6 Months ago ~145lbs

Some somewhat recent photos to show me at my new weight. NOTE: some are a bit to big, right click and select view image to see them:

My pretty girl and me going on a horse drawn carriage ride:


Some new years photos. My girl asked me to take a nice photo with my friend who lives 5 hours away, I decided to do everything but take a nice photo:
Looking Classy:


Acting like we are thinking of something:


Squinting:


Mid sneeze:


A decent one (btw Im already about 7 shots in, thats why I have that rediculous smile)


Nice one with my girl:




A black belt class, people from all over the tri county area came. Can you spot me?









I got down to 140 lbs, but now I am trying to start some strength training, and once I have some more impressive results, I will happily share them. Im 45 lbs lighter, significantly healthier, more active than I have ever been, met a ton of friends, and happier inn general. Im thankful every day for the support and community that MyFitnessPal has offered me. I hope you are all equally successful in your journeys, and I wish you all the best of luck.
