Where to start...........in the past 6-7 years I gained 120 pounds due to may things. Overeating of course and a variety of injuries. I had 2 bad concussions the second of which was work related in April 2010 and I am still dealing with symptoms from that one. I also partially tore my achilles, had medial tendinitis in my right elbow from work for months and the most recent one a torn tendon in my right shoulder.
But in March 2012 something finally clicked at age 53 and I knew I did not want to die before I was 60. So I changed my eating habits and hit the gym almost every day. I was also motivated by a couple of friends that are selling Visalus. I wanted to prove you do NOT need to do anything to lose weight and be healthier except eat properly and exercise.
I still have a ways to go but I will get there. My weight topped out at 340 pounds and I am now at 245....I have gone from a size 46 jeans to a size 36. My long term goal is goal is around 200 or so.
I have actually taken a break for almost a month and am getting back at it again starting Monday.
If I can do it at my age anyone can so do not give up.
Ok....gotta try the pics again

It is very frustrating......you need to resize your pictures in tiny pic - unfortunately don't know tiny pic so can't tell you how :-(
Awesome job by the way :-)0 -
