113 Pounds Lost with Pictures

Here is my original post http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/791993-50-pounds-down-only-the-begining

I started my weight loss journey on September 4, 2012 and weighed in at 332.6 Pounds at 5'11''. I started a weight loss program through a local hospital using meal replacements (Optifast). I continued with shakes through January and lost 100 pounds by mid-January from my start. I am now down an additional 15 pounds. I continue to lose with an eventual goal weight of 180 pounds by October. The weight is not flying off as fast as it was and know that as long as I continue to losing that I am moving in the right direction.

Here is what I have accomplished since September 3, 2012.
- Lost 113 Pounds
- Lowered Triglycerides, LDL, and HDL into normal range from an elevated range at the start.
- Blood Pressure into normal range from an elevated range at the start.
- Lost of 12 inches on my waist.
- Ran 2 Half Marathons with a PR of 2:17:00
- Ran a 5K PR of 26:05
- Ran a mile PR of 6:51
- Completed my First Triathlon (Sprint Distance)

Here is me the week before starting the program.
