About
I’m a 46-year-old man and I’ve had issues with my weight for most of my life. I was never really a diet kind of guy, I was more into the working it off approach. However, my problem has always been with follow through, consistency, and not having an eating plan. So now, tipping the scales at 312 pounds, it’s time to get moving, get motivated, and get it off. My journey to lose 100 pounds began on April 27, 2009. Below are my pictures taken at the beginning of the project. I can’t tell you how mortified and embarrassed I feel. Hopefully I can use them to inspire me towards my goal.
Thanks for stopping by and checking in on my weight loss journey.
