4 months and 59 pounds later
Yesterday marked 4 months since changing how I eat. I had really hoped to weigh in at 60 pounds lighter this morning, but I’m 59 instead. Since November 1, 2009, I’ve gone from 232 to 173 pounds. I decided to wear a shirt I hadn’t worn in a 3 or 4 weeks this morning, and the change was really evident. This shirt use to be way too tight, almost bursting at the seams when I tried to button it. Now it’s way too big, like many of my shirts, and it hangs loosely off my frame. I’ve gone from a size 38 or 40 in jeans down to a baggy 34, and I can fit comfortably in a pair of 33 inch jeans. I still have 8 more pounds to go, but my overall body fat is way down, with only a little bit of stubborn body fat left on my lower abs. That’s the update for now, I still have 8 more months to reach my goal of 165, which I will probably reach by next month, then comes the challenge of keep it off.
