Before and After but still going

In may of 2019 I weighed 385 pounds. I stopped drinking soda and just doing that I lost weight. I didn't really plan on losing weight. I was happy at my weight but I didn't realize how much my weight as affecting who I was as a person. I was attempting to go back to school at that May I failed my semester for the 3rd time. I am a very smart person but just couldn't focus. I would start studying and very shortly found myself studying in bed. I was too tired to even study. My doctors put me on a bunch of different medications that just made me feel worse. I finally was able to afford a sleep study in September of last year and found out I had severe sleep apnea with 55 episodes an hour. I couldn't take to my CPAP even though I was extremely excited about getting it. I paid all out of pocket for this. I got pissed! I got depressed but most of all I realized this was due to my weight and decided that my foodie days were over and I HAD to lose weight. By this time just from my depression i had dropped down to 325 by mid November. December 3rd I started pacing for miles in my house. I dropped below 300 and bought a treadmill the beginning of Jan. I'm now at 287 with consuming 1200-1800 calories a day and burning 600 of those calories a day on my treadmill. I finally got an after picture taken last week at 291 and couldn't believe the difference. I'm not done! I'm going to keep working hard and blow away the 2 pound a week average because I know eventually as I lose weight it'll slow down. I'm meeting with a nutritionist Tuesday and really looking forward to that! I dont know how people do the single picture of the before and after with their weight on the photo but below is me at 385 and then at 291!
