I had a foot amputated...


Recommended Posts

From around my waist.  The first picture is 4 months ago when I first joined NF, I was 312 lbs, and was wearing size 46 pants (44 if I wanted to suck it in)

This picture is yesterday, completing my 2nd 6 week challenge, coming in at 248 lbs, and size 34 jeans.  I weigh less and have a smaller waist then when I was a freshman in high school now.  Literally shedding tears of joy looking at these 2 pictures next to each other.   Couldn't have done this without this community!   I can't wait to see where I am in 8 months, on my 1 year of awesome anniversary!

I haven't made a goal, I have made a lifestyle change.

I am not where I want to be, but I am closer than I was yesterday.

It was hard to make changes at first, I will never go back.

The only person that was standing in my way was me.

Now that I have gotten out of my way, nothing can stop me!

Am I the only one that came in here wondering how amputating a foot was a woot... then upon seeing "From around my waist" was looking for an extra foot in his before picture???

 

Am I really that demented??

 

Awesome work Goofy... keep it up, you're doing good... :-)

Nothing secret!  I completely changed my diet to the Paleo eating style, (cutting out soda was huge for me, I was upwards of 100 oz of soda a day) I started with the beginner body weight circuit 3 x a week and intervals 3 times a week, and then moved on to lifting as soon as I got my hands on a cheap weight set from craigslist, all I have been doing! :)

 I run on the metric system, so ounces are meaningless to me. I didn't know if that was a lot or a little. 

 

Then I checked my converter on my phone...

 

HOLY CRAP! That was almost 3 L of pop a day! 

 

Dropping that sugar out of your diet must have been insanely hard! 

 

Still jealous too! :)

The first two weeks was definitely hard, but how amazing I felt after JUST those two weeks, I had absolutely no desire to go back.

WOW. 64 pounds in 4 months??! I'm not sure if I'm half retarded because it's still before noon, or if you're really telling me you LOST 64 POUNDS IN 4 MONTHS. I just did the math twice. Hopefully my Master's degree hasn't failed me.

 

Awesome job!! You should be the new NF poster child...especially in that shirt ;-)

That's what I got, granted I'm no Master's... just a lowly Bachelor... :-)
