Another pound gone since I ruptured my disk one week ago. Doctor check up later today to make sure things are going well but over the last two days I've had much improved movement and less back and leg pain which are very encouraging...I even got in a few walks and some very light upper body exercise. I've included below a before pic (July 15, 2015, two weeks before getting on FS), a midterm pic (last October) and after pic (a few days ago) of my progress over the last seven months.
I struggled with even showing these pics as I do not want anyone to think I'm showing off or got it figured out...and I still have a ways to go, but take these as encouragement to some and a thank you to several others on this site that encouraged and helped get me here (you guys know who you are).
There was some effort and commitment expended to get here, but without the encouragement, education, and FS tools, this fat loss wouldn't have happened. Mostly I am really excited that I see this new lifestyle as VERY sustainable! Now I also know my diet plan wouldn't work for a lot of people, but it worked for me, I've never really felt like I was on a diet yet, just living life with much more knowledge and accountability to myself.
Thanks again all!! Wishing each of you great success no matter where you are at on your journey to a healthier, fitter, you!!
