Made Goal down over 40 lbs. :)

I began this journey in January at 218 lbs. got down to 204 in February but then shot up to 212 in April. I remember weighing on my birthday and just being pissed off at myself. So ever since got real serious using MFP and running three times a week using C25K then B210K afterwards.

Now down 44 lbs. since January and moving to maintaining and toning mode. I'll have a slip up every now and then with eating bad but oh well it doesn't ruin everything. Some highlights of this was that I had some blood work done at 185 lbs. and was surprised to find out that how close to being pre-diabetic I was. With out a doubt if that weight didn't come off I would have been. I've run a 5K and got the Warrior Dash coming up this Saturday. My clothes are falling off and clothes from 10+ years ago had to be dug out of the closet. Very happy with the loss just want to maintain. Did have some down moments. My wife and I of 10 years decided to call it quits after a couple years of being estranged from one another. It is going pretty amicable now with us deciding custody and splitting our stuff up. Did find that running was a great way to take the stress off at least for a short time.

Thanks for reading its been a tough several months both physically and emotionally. Thank you all for posting you're before and after pictures I hope to help inspire others as you have done to me. Please add me, I'm planning on continuing on with MFP, been a helpful site and community.
