One Year, 100+ lbs Off [Pics]

I started last year, July 16, 2013 when I weighed myself and saw that the scale said, 295.5 lbs. Of course, my mind was blown away. There was only one thing that went through my mind at that point, "I'm not going over 300 lbs." From that day, I started a crash diet and lost ~12 lbs in the first month and nothing more. Then my girlfriend showed me this site that led me to join on August 8th of last year. Best decision I had ever made. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of me at my heaviest. However, in two days, I would have taken my first picture of myself. Although it is obvious that my progress has slowed down dramatically since the beginning, I have only ~40 lbs left to lose. Life is becoming a balance beam now that I have a job!

Enjoy the WIP Progress from Then to Now:


So, for the ALMOST 365 WIP progress of the pictures I've been taking:


I have more energy than I did a year ago... I am now an exercise-holic, which many friends here WARN me to be careful as I tend to get hurt sometimes for overdoing it. My regime is like everyone else: Eat better and exercise.

My reason to lose weight is because I've come to realize that I wasn't happy where that path was taking me. More than anything, I want to have a child at a healthy weight. I may not have a guy yet, but I'm working in that direction as my confidence continues to skyrocket with each milestone I've been hitting!
