My Work in Progress

I was a 41 yr old, very out of shape middle aged man heading for an early grave. I started using MFP back in January of 2012. My weight was a very uncomfortable 250 lbs, my BP was 170/130 and was having a hard time buttoning up a size 38 pants. I am now at a reasonable weight of 169, in a size 32 pants, and the greatest succes is the BP is 105/60. I have all the energy in the world now and am currently working on running my first 5K race.

January 2012 at 250 lbs.

January 2012 in a size 38, closer to 40

July 2012 at 172 lbs

July 2012 in a size 32.
I'm working on maintaining my current weight and just building muscle.
I always feel weird about posting pics of myself, but I feel great about how I am now.
