I had mentioned a few months ago about starting a thread like this. I think DT said he'd participate and maybe a few others. I'm guessing we're all at different stages physically, but a lot of us wouldn't mind getting better. Whether it's dropping a lot of weight or just a few pounds. I was hoping we could get a thread together to maybe help each other out, swap recipes/advice, and motivate each other.
About 5 months ago I was in some photos during a family get together. Someone sent them out to everyone and I took a look. Wow, I had gotten fat. Now I knew I had gotten out of shape and had been determined at some point to knock the weight off. But I was lazy and always pushed it to the side. But the steady addition of 5 or so pounds a year since I started college had really added up.
Fast forward to today and I'm down around 40 pounds. Knocked off two full jean sizes and have increased my overall strength. I still have a ways to go to where I want to be at physically, but I feel a million times better than before. I picked up a 40 pound weight today and it's amazing how much it weighs. I feel a million times better and clothes are fitting so good now.
So is anyone else down for this?
