I've now entered the wonderful world of blogging. TA-DA!
One of the main reasons for doing this is to force myself to be more accountable on my weight loss journey. I'm not going to shy away from some of the facts about my problem.
Christmas 2007 was my low point of this journey. I weighed in at a whopping 405 lbs. After seeing some pictures of myself, I really was at rock bottom. I just wanted to curl up and go to sleep and not wake up. (I know...waaahhh I'm a fattie). I made the decision after seeing the pictures to have one more week of food decadence before joining Weight Watchers with my wife. She has been wonderfully supportive of this journey over the last year. I could not have made any strides without her.
So here we are, almost one year later. I am down 70 lbs total. I hit a snafu in the road in September. Walking down the street, I stumble off of a curb and tore a major tendon in my left foot. I had been down as much as 80, but I've manage to get off track and have settled in with the 70 total. Here are some before and after pictures. As you can tell, I have NOT mastered the art of the self portrait with the cell phone camera :)
Anyhow, with better food choices and a lot of exercise (mainly Yoga), I think it's been a good year. Let's roll on with year 2 and make this thing even better. The foot is almost healed and I'm ready to get active again.
I hope this works for you.
ReplyDeleteI just recently jumped back on the WW Bandwagon. My first attempt a couple years ago I went from 376 down to 350. Then fell off the bandwagon. I just signed backup this week at my all high weight of 385.
I like you work in IT. Which unfortunately has me sitting on my ass 90% of the day.
I am not married have no real friends outside of work. I basically Work, Eat, Sleep, maybe play some World of Warcraft or watch TV in my free time. I've become almost a hermit. I am ashamed of my weight and do not like to go out in public. I know that's one of major problems.
Who knows I might start a blog up myself in a couple weeks. =)
Good Luck I will check back for Updates! So don't Slack off!
you can do it dude. Hit me up in email. I think we are lost relatives. I quit doing the public appearances myself. It's a dark dark place to be.
