    1 YEAR RESULTS-I SURVIVED!!:)

    edited February 24 in Success Stories
    So here it is…Its my 1 Year Anniversary TODAY!

    Im so proud of my body for sticking through all the challenges I pushed it through. I started a year ago broken and duct taped (literally). My body was falling apart . Every health issue you could think a 50 yr old 900 lb man has, I had..at 29. My limbs hated me. I had mistreated it for so long, that it was starting to break down. The amount of weight (272 lbs) on my 5’5” frame was crushing my bones and my self-esteem. Fast forward to today, a year later, Sore represents growth, not my fat killing me. . I am 80% healthier and the scale doesn’t matter as much as it used to.

    I have lost about 50 lbs. I have fluctuated by 7 lbs for the last few months. I have lost 32” overall. Im a smaller version of who I used to be. I signed up for a Marathon for next year, and currently trying to beat the odds of going from a NON runner to a RUNNER and completing my first run…Rock N Roll Marathon 2015.

    I have up’d and reduced my calories. I have eaten crazy, and then healthy. I have worked out religiously and fallen off the wagon. Throughout this year, one thing stayed the same…I KEPT GOING.
    Thank you MFP fam! 

    …and for results purposes. Im wearing the same shirt a year later. I tried to depict how loose it is..hopefully it shows :)

      Its all possible trust me. My first workout at the gym was 15 min adn I almost literally passed out and threw up. I had a bad ankle, and a tumor prev. removed from hand so I couldnt use my hand at all Back pain like you wouldnt believed and oh throw some depression and lack of will in it too.

      You got this!!!!!!!
