8 months in, 70 pds lost! Posting pictures for motivation!

I started just over 8 months ago on January 5th when I decided I was tired of living in a self-imposed prison. Getting my mental health in line was truly key for me and lifted a grey haze off of my world. That allowed me to make the decisions I needed to make. This morning I reached 70 pounds down! Also, I got my bloodwork results ran again (since they ran them at the beginning). No longer anywhere near the prediabetic line. My cholesterol is stellar. Boosted hdl, lowered ldl. And everything is on the lower end of the normal range which is pretty awesome! Pretty crazy change in 8 months! I need to keep the motivation up so I wanted to post some pictures, because for me it has been a gradual change, so It is hard to see the difference, but to others they can see it for sure and remind me how great it is!

Feel free to add me! I am totally willing to help others on their journey.

    Well buddy, I don't know you and I see a HUGE difference. The super exciting part of your success is what's been happening on the inside. AMAZING in only 8 months to have that type of positive impact on your health...crazy. Similar changes happened with me too. Keep it up, you are obviously doing something right!!
