So, I made the decision to start my lifestyle change and loose weight on December 2nd, 2012. My wife and I had just had our first child, and when family came to visit, they made several comments to my wife regarding my weight/health. It finally set in that I really was beyond where I felt comfortable, and needed to make a change. I had been steadily gaining weight since about 2004. I can blame it on working 3rd shift, I can blame it on 100 things, but really, I was just slowly hurting myself and denying every bit of it.
I have been seeing slight changes in my body and even though I still have a LOT of weight to lose, I figured I would show you guys some progress pictures. I am extremely proud of what I have done the last 70 days, and I think its time to show what my work has done up to this point.
At my heaviest, 388.2 lbs.
Picture taken Dec, 2nd 2012 Front shot
Dec, 2nd 2012 Side Shot
As you can see, I wasn't happy with taking the pictures, but to be honest, I think I was sucking in a little bit, hah.
Current Weight 338.2 lbs.
Picture taken Feb 10th, 2013 Front shot
Feb 10th, 2013 Side Shot
I still have quite a bit to go as you guys can see, but I am now officially past 1/3 of the way there. I am in the double digits with remaining weight to lose, and I have no plans on slowing down. For starting at such a high weight, I really truly feel like it has been an easy road so far, and with incredible encouragement from family at home, and friends on here, its just going to get easier as time goes by.
Thanks for looking everyone :drinker:
*edited* had the 20th of Feb instead of 10th.. thx for pointing that out, hah
