I started my account over two years ago here, but never used the website to it's fullest potential... After about a year of craziness, I finally got serious about diet and exercise. I started off by making subtle changes to my diet... The first was to quit the fast-food. The second goal, to quit drinking soda. Then I started to ease into exercise at first by walking, then jogging, and eventually worked my way up to Insanity and hiking with friends.

Left Picture: Taken January 1, 2012
Weight: 135lbs

Right Picture: Taken approx. May 2011
Weight: 205lbs

I really wish I had taken pictures throughout my progress, but oh well.

Even though I lost as much weight as I did, I dropped down to 115lbs due to a nasty medical conditions... And subsequently, my weight shot back up again to 146lbs :blushing: -- which has ultimately brought me back to MFP!

My goal is to lose 30lbs this round... But this time, gaining lots of lean muscle. I lost a lot of muscle mass when I got ill, which made me sad... Since I worked so hard for it doing Insanity.

Things happen! Just trying to roll with it and get back on the wagon :)

    Great before and after pictures! The good news is you know how to do it and get back in shape. I know its frustrating the set back with medical issues, but an even better reason to get healthy again.

    But I think the difference between 205 and 135 is 70 lbs not 60. :)
