12 months in 156lb loss

Options
I will keep the short, some of you may have seen of my pictures on here before. This is kind of an update. I joined a slimming group May 31st 2013 and today I completed my first 12 months.

When I started I weighed 23st7lb (329lb). Tonight I weighed in at 12st5lb (173lb).

I was extremely heavy, unfit and unhappy. Now I am a lot healthier (other than needing heart surgery), getting much fitter and am certainly a lot happier. Just goes to show what difference a year can make.

I became Slimming World man of the year (for my local group) tonight, and there is talk of me being nominated for the regional finals. Stick with your dreams and if it aint working change up, don't be afraid to be wrong. Just move on.

I still have a around 20lb to lose to get into my BMI range, I am happy to spend the next few months working on that.

Some pictures:

    If you right click the images and press view image you should see the whole picture. I'm a bit technically inept.
