This is a copy of my earlier post with a link to pictures. I tried every which way to post pics on here and got really frustrated after 45mn of no success. The link is at the bottom and will take you to my pics.
I do not write posts or blogs because I really do not have the time but because I am
at the end of my weight loss journey, I thought a couple of pictures are always good
motivation for others. I used to be heavily into body building and then fitness back
many many many years ago and then I moved to a new State, my life completely changed
and for some reason it did not seem to matter how I looked. Don't get me wrong, my
move was totally intentional and I have a great life. I also quit smoking almost 2
years ago and more weight came on. All would have been fine if my son, last spring,
had not announced his engagement to be married in Oct 2012. I jumped on the scale,
I almost had a heart attack 198lbs, never in my entire life of ups and downs had I
ever been so fat except while pregnant with my daughter 26 years ago. I went into
deep depression for a short period of time and suicide did cross my mind but I did
snap out of it after talking to a friend who had been on MFP for months and had lost
50lbs. I knew I could do this, after all I had done it before, many times, but of
course, now at age 58 I knew it would not be as easy. Well I did it, it has been an
11 months journey and I am damn proud of my accomplishment. As for the title the
first picture is worth a 1000 words. It was me in my glory in 1993 when I thought
muscles were sexy, the next pictures are me now and the muscles are back, not that I
am purposely building them up, they are just there, lol...Age though has taken its
toll and the skin has lost its elasticity but weight training has helped.
