My Before and After with Pics

So after talking with a few co-workers and family and friends they all told me that I should show everyone my before and after photos. I am not sure exactly how much I weighed at my peak but I am assuming that I was pushing 300 LBS or so. I was depressed and I basically turned to food to help me cope with anything and everything. I grew up with overweight parents and would basically clean my plate no matter what because it would be a waste if i didnt finish what was given to me.

I learned that I never had any fitness goals but I had a lot of career goals and I have reached and surpassed many of them but what would all of that matter if I can't enjoy my life. My father retired a few years ago and he plays golf as usual but he is always in terrible pain. I looked up to my father and listened to basically every word of advice hes given me. My dad is pretty successful but I look at what good is money and career goals if you live your last years of your life is so much pain. This is when I decided that I need to set fitness goals as well. I was never a runner but I told myself that I would give it a shot. I started with the Cooper River Bridge Run which is a 10K then I did a 8K a few weeks later then Warrior Dash. All were pretty fun but I know that I could do better I dont look at a run as a competition against the other runners I am in competition with myself. I know that I should keep pushing and pushing and strive to do better. I am turning 30 this year and I am rewarding myself with a hike to Mount Kilimanjaro. I lost 60 LBS since December and feel great. I am going to keep on running and trying to challenge myself and keep adjusting my goals. Who knows where I will be next year but I grew up as a fat kid but I am going to die a long and health live. I owe this to myself and my family.

I went from wearing size 40+ pants down to a 33. Size XL shirts to a medium. I am down to 195 LBS as well.

I never posted photos so heres a shot at it.

I had to find my passport for my trip to Africa and opened it up and saw this. My friends say that I am going to enjoy my cavity search. Nov 2008
