It's taken 4 and 1/2 months, and I've lost 37 lbs (as of this morning lol).
It's definitely been hard and a struggle, but i managed to do it without going to the gym(though right now i wish i could afford to go, but i'm hoping in the next couple of months i'll be able to re-buget and start going to the local YMCA lol) and healthy eating and just getting more active.
The very first photo was taken a month after i started. When i first started my journey, I was 270 lbs, the very highest i have ever been and i got so disgusted with myself that i decided to do something about it. The second photo was taken this morning and i weighed in at 233 lbs.
I'm proud of my accomplishments and even though i have long ways to go, I've gotten over that "hump" where i just wanted to stop and kept going. I have the body i've always wanted, it's there but it's just underneath all the fat i gained and will keep going until i finish chipping it away and i'm where i want to be.
This forum has been the BEST tool i could ever use in terms of support and all of the motivating stories i've read. One day, my own journey WILL be of one of strength, determination and a motivation to others.
