80 lbs lost

Today I officially passed the 80lb lost mark! I think (hope) I've finally broken through a plateau after spending the past month stuck at 192-195 lbs. This may have been due to my adding stregth training into my gym routine instead of all cardio, all of the time. I still seemed to be losing inches, just not weight, for awhile there.

Since November 2009 I've dropped from 270ish (possibly as high as 275 since I was actively avoiding scales and mirrors as much as possible for quite some time) to 189 as of this morning's weigh-in. I really can't believe the difference in the way I feel due to the healthier eating habits and all of the exercise I'm getting now. I'm going to the gym for strength training and cardio 5 days a week now. I feel and look better than I have in 15 years.

For all of this I have the MFP site and it's supportive community, the C25K program, and last but definitely not least my loving and supportive wife to thank for keeping me motivated.
