Half Way There

I started this journey a few years ago, it has NOT been an easy one.

I've fallen off the wagon more than enough times and managed to pull myself back on somehow.
Here's a quick look at my progress chart from January to May, notice its no where near a perfect downward angle!



Initially I started at 280. I had refused to step on a scale for quite some time. One day I looked in the mirror and was completely broke down, upset at seeing what I had let happen to me. I decided then that something had to happen and slowly but surly transformations took place.

That same day I weighed myself at the gym and cried in my truck on the way home. I knew I'd gained weight but to see the big red numbers of truth staring me in the face was more than I could take. I went home, cleaned up my face, took a picture and vowed to never see those numbers on a scale again.

Its taken me 3 years to get from 280 to 230, losing the first half of the 100 lbs I want to lose. I'm giving myself a year to lose the other half.

Here is what 50 lbs down looks like. Seeing 229.7 on my scale made my day, and I cannot wait to see 180.
