I reached another milestone today. I hit the 140 Lbs lost mark. When I started on MFP (Sept 20 2012)My stats were disappointing but 8 ½ months later things have really improved. Here are some numbers from the beginning and as of today. (not sure why my ticker on this web site still reads 138 Lbs lost?)

9-20-12…………………………5-30-13

Weight 364……………….today 224

BMI 51………………..……BMI today 31 (still listed as obese)

% body fat 51…………...Today 27.2

I have 24 more pounds to lose to hit the goal weight of 200 Lbs. At this rate I hope to be there by My birthday in August. I am still working out 5 days a week and lifting heavy weights (squatted 200 Lbs yesterday and deadlifted 270 Lbs as well) and doing cardio 2 days a week) because dieting alone just wont do it. One has to move as well.

Many folks here have been encouraging me during the entire journey. Thank you for that.
