Well I've been away from this site for the last month due to a pretty busy period with work. With that as well I was not really able to continue with my workout regimen. Luckily, I still watched what I ate and managed to maintain my weight for the month off. Yesterday was the first day back to the gym for me and it felt GREAT to start back into eating healthy and working out again. I haven't posted in here yet, but I think with the feedback I receive it will help motivate me that much more to continue.

Here is my before. I was at 203lbs here, the highest I've ever been.

This picture was taken last week. I am now at 180lbs!

I ran into an old coworker today who I haven't seen since last year and all she could tell me is how much skinner I looked. Yes, it's only 23lbs but to me it feels like so much more!

Also, I'm trying to get back into logging my food and exercise so I would love some new friends to help keep me motivated. Thanks for taking the time to read my little rant!!!

    23 lbs, but I bet you've gained tons of muscle too! Not just about the number on the scale...it looks like wayyy more than a 23 lb difference! Great job!

    Thanks for the compliments, I really do appreciate it. It makes me excited about getting to the gym tomorrow! :happy:

    I do hope there is some muscle that was added too! It's always hard to notice any changes when you see yourself in the mirror everyday.

    Way to go! You can tell the difference. Btw, I couldn't help but noticing your dog...so cute . Looks like a photoshopped chocolate lab with the body of a dalmatian. Cute

    HAHA yeah, she is a chunker too. I think I need to see what I can do no setting up her an account on this to help her out too. :laugh:

    She is actually a German Short Haired Pointer. I can definitely see where someone could mistake her for a lab. Thanks for the complement too. :smile:

    Short haired or long hair? Sounds like it could be a cross with the German Short Haired Pointer and a Wirehaired Pointer?!

    Awesome! you look great and i can imagine you feel even better!

    The best part is the confidence that you gain from it. That is almost nicer to feel than knowing about the long term positives to being healthy!

    I could have lied, but then I would have felt bad! Thanks very much though, and BTW I am a fan of Twilight too. :blushing:
