Exactly two years ago, this photo was taken
I have no idea how much I actually weighed, but the shirt is a 2XL, the pants 40's and the mustache is for Movember.
I spent the next six months trying to eat better.
In June 2012 I weighed in at a local Gym - 256lbs.
I had dropped to 38" pants and the XL shirts were tight, but weatable.
My neck was 18"
My Belly 49"
I worked really hard and in December 2012, I was under 230, just about...
Pants were 36's and a little tight, shirts were a good fitting XL.
Then disaster, I hurt my neck/shoulder in March, then managed to get pneumonia. All of which means I stayed away from the gym for several months.
I managed to sneak back up to 230. Well maybe a tad more.
Three months ago I got back on the treadmill and then later Bootcamp.
I am now hitting Bootcamp six days a week and eating way better.
Last week I looked like this
216lbs, 34/34 pants, 'L' shirts, 16.5 neck size. My belly at its widest is 38 isn
I still have a way to go, my ultimate target is about 195.....
