Minor photo update - currently 62lbs lost. :)

I decided to take an updated progress picture this afternoon (you'd think I would brush my hair first) to see how much I'd changed. My highest weight is 215lbs, but unfortunately I don't have any photos from that time. The starting pics here show me around 205, if I recall. Right now I'm around 153 and would love to see 140 one of these days.

I started all of this about 2 years ago and while I haven't lost weight as quickly as some people do, I feel good about the fact that it's been steady and I've maintained it. The idea of "dieting" isn't really something I subscribe to. I just try to eat responsibly without depriving myself of the things I love. I love to cook (and to eat!) so making healthy meals that taste great is a fun challenge for me.

I have attended a boot camp 3 days a week for the past two years and I feel like it's done wonders for me. I'm healthier at 33 than I was at 18. When I started boot camp I would get winded on a brisk walk, but now I can run. When I started I couldn't do a pushup, but now I can do burpees. I used to have knee problems, but all the body strength training I've done has made them a thing of the past. Feels good, man.

Not much else to add - so I'll just post the pics!

    You look absolutely amazingly beautiful :love: And your food, I may drool! :flowerforyou:

    Also those knee problems I understand, I had chronic pain in my left knee but I've noticed mine slowly but surely disappearing after 33lbs lost so far, feels great to go on a walk without worrying I'm going to have trouble walking the next day! :happy:
