oK SO , I previously had posted this post and since I have been posting monthly and only being able to take "selfie" progress shots. I decided to hire a photographer for my 1 year pics. Ive included the original post (feel free to fast forward to pics if already read ).

Please dont hate me, I promise i will not post updates monthly until 6 months from now unless the change is drastic :) . Love all my MFP supporters. You are IRREPLACEABLE!

*****************************************************
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 :)

    Wow! Great job. I love the same top being in both pictures. You can really see the difference. I like how happy you look in your professional shots.

    I can only wonder what it'll be like being able to walk around without the "suck it in". I've been doing that since I was a teenager. I wonder what abdominal discomfort that I don't even notice now will go away...
