In Pictures 1-4 I was at the peak of my weight - 290 pounds. I was there for about 2 years. Miserable. Uncomfortable. Always sweaty. Always tired. And ALWAYS eating. My doctor put me on Cholesterol medication which was humiliating and had horrible side effects. Two weeks after that prescription began, I started Crossfit.
In Picture 5 I am about 2 months into Crossfit, I think. I had lost probably 10-12 pounds and even though my body was restricting my movement A LOT, I was feeling way better than I had in a long time. 2 weeks after I started Crossfit I stopped taking the Cholesterol meds, and a month after that went back to have my Cholesterol re-checked. It was NORMAL!
Picture 6 is just before my surgery, probably February or March of this year. I had lost almost 30 pounds and felt SO GREAT!
The last two were taken by my 7 year old son Josiah just a few hours ago. I have lost 42 pounds - almost 60 if you count the 15 I gained back then lost again. I feel great. And I didn't have to take a pill, or have surgery (no disrespect to those who have). Not only that, but I've got my mind wrapped around this for the first time in my life. I don't need to eat to fix my problems...in fact eating just made my problems worse! Now if I am stressed, I don't eat...I run, I walk, I read the Bible, or I cook a VERY healthy meal or drink a huge glass of water. Ahh, freedom is sweet!
