Six Months & 37 lbs Pic

panchango · September 2015

In a few days, I will have been using MFP for 6 months. I am about halfway to my goal and haven't looked at my before pics in a while. Here is one from about a year ago when I was near my heaviest (roughly 280 lbs) and the second was from yesterday (about 243 lbs). I still have a long way to go, but my focus has shifted from simply losing weight to getting fit. I feel much better and the weight is still coming off (slowly but surely.)

I think I'm having the same mental shift. I mean, yeah, I care about the weight - old habits die hard - but considering I'm actively trying to build muscle (lifting weights) and am paying more attention to nutrition, I know that any weight loss will be super slow but probably sustainable. And I'm mostly just getting excited about being stronger and fitter and more physically able. It feels amazing doesn't it

Keep up the good work!
