50 lbs down--a milestone pic

I've been on this lifestyle change with my beautiful wife @WDEvy for 6 months now. I've been eating better (no more fast food!) and working out at least 4 times a week. My first 5K was this past December and my next one is a week from today! I feel about 100x better both physically and mentally.


The pics are below. I'm a little under half way to my goal weight, but I was too excited to not share this with you all. The pic on the left was this morning and I am at 50 lbs less than my starting weight on MFP. The pic on the right was a year ago from this past September. I believe I was hovering around 380 at that point (I started MFP at less than what I believe my highest ever weight was).

Keep up the good fight, everyone!!

    Excellent job! You are really doing so amazing! And I peek at your food journal from time to time to see what you are snacking on and look for food ideas. :) Well done and keep up the great work!

    Great job!!!! Keep at it.

    Taking care of ourselves is one of the most selfish "good" things that we can do for ourselves

    Amazing work! I love your attitude and the simplicity of how you have done it: eat better + consistency of exercise = feeling better physically and mentally :smile:
