MGS Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I started this particular chapter of my journey back on January at the gloriously miserable weight of 228lbs. Not the worst iv ever been! (Plastic summer I went from 240is to around 200) but still, dissatisfied with my reverse progress, I decided to crack at it, and stick with it til the jobs done. As we approach the end of June, iv had a chance to reflect on some old photos and asses my progress!A whole back I posted a woot about dropping under 200- since then iv dropped to, as of today, 191lbs, which is the least iv weighed pretty much ever. If I carry on with the same weight loss trend as iv stuck to so far, I'll be in the 180-s by the start of July. Yet, for the past few weeks, iv been miserable, feeling like nothing's changed and that I looked no different. However, today I stumbled upon some old photos, and though the change isn't enormous, there was definitely visible progress. This cheered me up no end.If your reading this, and your cutting, for the love of all that is good, take progress pics! You never know when your gonna be miserable and deflated and feel like nothing has changed, and you need that boost, of something completely undeniable in front of you to make you see the changes. This ended up being a really long post! All I wanted to say was:TL;DR228 to ~190 in 6 months. Yay me, and stuff.

Jedrik Serpenthelm Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've weighed a fat 229 before. That forty pound weight loss to 190 leaves you feeling as light on your feet as a ballerina.

Silo Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Good work! And good point about progress pictures. It is nice to see the changes and even if you don't see the enormous change, chances are the people around you do see it. Quote 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

Dradis Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Know this feeling. I'm at 188 down from 260 last summer. A couple of weeks ago i felt exactly the same, annoyed and frustrated at slow progress (even though nothing had really slowed or changed). Cracked out the photos from december, cheered me up no end. Stick at it and good luck. 1 Quote Current challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/70839-bendy-dradis-stands-up-proper/ Link to comment
