8+ months ago I started a big change.

I went from being over 200 lbs to being between 163-168 pounds. It ranges these days.
I still plan to get down to 160 and still over eat but I have found exercise to be pretty key to my success.
Regular Cardio (biking and jogging), yoga, and body weight exercises (pushups, crunches, pullups, chinups, and lots of core exercises)
I have a more active job than I did before and walk or bike to the store and most other places that I don't NEED my car for.

I don't have before and after body pics, trust me I wish I did. But I'm stronger and more flexible than I have been in my whole life. I was athletic as a kid so I definitely could run more then, but how I feel now is different. Definitely more aware of my body.

I went from a tight size 36 to a super loose 32 pants. I refuse to try on 30s because it will freak me out if I fit into them.
I went from a L and XL shirt size to mediums. Fitting in shirts I haven't worn in a long time.

Anyways, face pics

Also I forgot to ask I do not wear glasses anymore, I got Lasik in October.
