Lost 85 pounds and feel like a different person
Started at 285, now sitting at 200. Took me two years of actually committing instead of just talking about it. My kids used to be embarrassed when I'd try to play with them at the park. Now I'm the dad doing races with them, hiking on weekends, not winded after one flight of stairs. The hard part is my brain still thinks I'm the big guy. I catch myself in mirrors and do a double take. My marriage got better too somehow, wife and I feel like we're dating again. I miss not thinking about what I eat though. That was easier. But seeing my dad's health problems at 60 and knowing I changed my trajectory... that's everything.
That's incredible man. 85 pounds in two years is real work. I'm sitting here at 260 and keep telling myself I'll start Monday, but this actually makes me think maybe I could do it if I stopped making excuses.
