The pictures that are in white are from 3-29-2012 and the pictures in black are from today 7-22-2012. I don't have any pictures from my original start; but my starting weight was 252 and my goal is 152 lbs. Currently I am at 208.5 lbs.

I started my weight loss journey because I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My doctor told me I needed to lose 100 lbs. I started out by just changing my eating and I was able to drop about 20-30 lbs that way before I plateaued. It was then that I realized I needed to start working out as well as eating healthier if I ever wanted to reach my weight goal and become a more healthy me.

Well these are my progress pics so far and I am halfway through my journey to healthy!

Also since August of 2011 I have brought my A1C down to 6.4, lost 43 lbs, brought my pulse rate down from 100 at resting to 76, and brought my BMI down from 40 to 34 thus far.

And hopefully... here are the pictures I am trying to post :)
