So, I’ve taken the photo, a few minutes ago, for the before and after… I am still a work in progress… No abs… still have a spare tire…. I have not looked at the photo from last year since the day I took. I haven’t lost 40 lbs… at least I don’t think so… However, like said in a previous post… my friends say that i have lost a lot of weight. I did at one point get down 168. When I started I was 198 lbs. My friends have also pointed out that they can see that I have gained some muscle.
So, I am not going to bullshit anyone. I have lost a lot of weight and gained a little bit of muscle. What I have accomplished during this challenge; I got a job, FINALLY! I joined a gym a few months ago, I feel a whole lot better than I did last year. I stayed clean!!!
I know that I want to continue to exercise and to continue to feel good about myself. The challenge in the end, I guess, was not to lose the weight. Rather, it was to no give up! I’m 40 now and I’m not giving up!
Will post the before and after by the end of the week.
