I was tipping the scale at 448lbs in Jan and decided if I didn't do something drastic now I would die. I'm wheelchair bound from a lifelong disability of Spina Bifida. I have been very sick all through my life and was bed bound due to sores most of 2013/14 where the lbs just piled on as the only thing to look forward to was my next meal or snack. I'm 4 months in to my new lifestyle and I feel great. I'm eating clean and healthy, I attend a personal training session consisting of power lifting free weights and intense boxing and pulling the dreaded sleigh with a 20ft war rope. I attend 2 Kettlebell classes as well per week and do other exercise by myself in the gym every time I get a chance. I was also type 2 diabeties and I have managed to get shot of that. I still have a massively long way to go yet as I want to get down to around 16 stone and ripped but I am getting there. Below is a pic of me 4 months ago and another one of me now

    Wow, that's an amazing change so far. You did that in just a few months?

    You have an amazing story so far. Make sure you're doing things the healthy way, and don't worry when the losses slow down. The pounds tend to fall off quickly at first (though not usually 5 pounds a week for 4 months) and then slow down. A loss of 2 pounds a week is an amazing one, and 1 pound a week is still really good.

    Your pictures tell a giant story - you're making serious progress.
