I thought Id post my before and after to pictures to motivate me to keep going. I am actually ok with how I look. I would like to tone up and drop more body fat so maybe this will push me.


I started in may of 2009 after a bad break up. (258lbs) I remember trying to log into my computer and the hint to my password was your name Fat ***. That is the second I decided that I had to lose the weight. Here are some pics.

Now July of 2011 I am 161lbs and a total loss of 97lbs. I no longer have asthma issues, I can run, I sleep better.

Up next is 10% BF and maybe even a six pack. Lots of ups and downs but I always stuck with it. Its great when people see me and don't believe its me.

    Ay que chihuahua! You made amazing progress. The biggest challenge is NOW~~~stay with your program. Keep weighing/measuring/leveling off all excess quantities & recording it all on here. If you don't do that, you'll end up worse off than when you started. Take it from one who's been there & done that so many times in my life that, if I hadn't done the yo-yo dieting all those years, I would weigh over 800 lbs. today (IF I was still alive). No, it's not a joke...it's reality. GL :)
