At my heaviest I weighed almost 190 lbs!!
I was miserable and drank about 3-4 times a week.
I was in a horrible relationship that was mentally draining and I reached a breaking point.
Feb of last year was around the time everything changed. Her and I broke up and I decided it was my time to live my life. I started working out around April of 2014 and I became addicted to it! When I started working out I was weighing close to 170 and now I am at around 140. I am still a work in progress but I am a long way from where I once was.
I stopped drinking, completely. July 1st of 2014 was when I drank my last drink and I haven't looked back.
Everyday I am learning something new about my body and about this journey.
Fitness is not something you do temporary and then go back to your old ways. You have to stick with it to see results. Even if you give up, get back up and keep moving.
A year from today I will be even closer to my goal and once I reach it I plan on setting new goals and so on.
Best of luck to everyone out there trying to reach their goals. Remember that we did not gain weight in one day and we will not lose weight in one day. Even if the results are little as long as you continue to go forward you will eventually get to your goal.

    You look great. I have been reading more articles lately on how damaging alcohol is to your body, and to keep it to a very bare minimum or none at all.
