152 pounds lost - my journey

This is a photograph I thought I would ever feel comfortable enough to show anyone or never mind post online, however I finally feel genuinely happy and even in shock at difference in these photographs, so here's 152lbs difference. When I decided to make the change I never thought I would gain such an interest or passion in both the different exercises but also the nutritional aspects.

From January 2013 I implemented a new mindset, a new diet and finally the start of a new me! I knew after a few weeks the instant change in my body, my mentality and my happiness that I knew I had finally got the motivation to do it. Within 18 months of making the change I had lost 10 stone and finished my first half marathon, I have not stopped since with a total weight loss of 152 pounds since. But the overall change that this has caused in my life is amazing. I am instantly happier, more confident and enjoying the little things more.

The past 95 days extra weight loss, over 10% drop in body fat percentage and difference in training has made a massive difference in terms of feeling confident and comfortable.
