I HAVE HIT MY 100lb MARK!
I started my weight loss journey on August 26th, 2011 at 325lbs.
I am now 224.4lbs as of April 17th, 2012.(318lbs is my closest starting picture.)
I am 6’ 3”, 18 years old, and I have always been fat. I owe that a little to genetics, my whole family is pretty much big people, and the way I grew up. I didn’t have any friends throughout elementary and middle school. I was the kid who sat during recess and read a nice book instead of playing with other kids. Do I regret that? Not at all. But I do believe it caused my metabolism to be ultimately slow, seeing as I never really did much exercise until I started losing the weight now, when I’m 18. Also, I was watched by grandparents until I was 12 who always fed me fast food.
Despite this, I started lifting weights in high school a bit. I can leg press 1200lbs. I have always had perfect blood pressure and cholesterol. So don’t you dare think that fat people are always unhealthy. I am living proof that they aren’t.
My waist went from being 51” to 38.5”
My shirt size went from XXL to L
My pant size went from 44”x34” to 36”x34
I have some loose skin on my arms, thighs, and stomach. I’ll deal with that in my own time.
I’m making this change for myself. I want to be the best “me” I can be. :]
Seriously inspiring. You are amazing! :)
You’re awesome!
