Progress Photos

Here is my progress thus far.  Back when I started, and to some extent now, I would have never wanted to post my weight.  Through a lot of motivational accounts here on Tumblr, I don’t mind doing so.  So here we go…

This photo I found recently from 2007 shows me probably as big as I have ever been in my life.  I am guessing I was at the 300lb mark here.

Start: December 21st at 290lbs (Photo was taken December 5th, but we didn’t start until the 21st). December 21st was our official start of the journey to being healthy.

Progress: January 16th, 2011 at 270lbs

Progress: February 19th, 2011 at 260 pounds

Progress: This was taken in early March (not sure of the date).  Was just happy to go into my closet and try on a pair of slacks and find that they were too big.

March 30, 2011: 245lbs

Let me also add that my goal is not just losing weight.  I do not believe that weight is the single indicator of health.  My ultimate goal is to get completely off blood pressure medication.  My thought process is that, if I can get off my BP meds, a lot of the other issues will fall in place.  So far that has held true.
