Default What a Difference A Year Makes
About 1 year ago, at 48 yrs old, I was 270 pounds, just had a mild stroke, and lost my business due to my health. After a lot of self reflection, and a plea from my kids, on Nov 1st, 2011, I decided enough was enough. In the next 7 months I lost over 100 lbs, and last April I started lifting. I cannot convey how much weight lifting and getting into shape has changed my life for the better.

Here are some before (notice the treadmill has become a Clothes Hanger)and a couple after pics.

Anyway, thanks for allowing me to pat myself on the back !!

Simply amazing and inspiring.

How did you go about your eating? Did you start by just eating less?
