Before and During

So I'm not even halfway in my journey yet, but I'm finding I have some body vision problems. A lot of the time I have trouble seeing any difference at all. Looking at pictures helps a bit and I love seeing other people's photos so I thought I'd share where I'm at right now.

A little background. I'm about 5'6" My high weight is roughly 262 in the red coat, currently around 211. I'd tried losing weight before. Usually once or twice a year, but it never lasted very long. I think I'm having more success this time because I'm being kinder to myself. I don't have ridiculous expectations and I try not to punish myself when I step off the beaten path every now and then. In the past I would've viewed a week off from the gym because I was unwell as reason to give up or never gathered the motivation to go again.

This is roughly seven months of work. With some periods of just maintaining, like the entire month of September.





In both photos I'm on the left. My sister is both the girl in the top picture and the girl in the middle on the bottom. As you can see, my family is mostly quite thin. My father was a very big guy and if he was alive I'd look less like a stranger who wandered into the photos.
