Thank ya!
Down another 1.6lb this week
Today was one of my monthly progress pictures, so I threw one up in my initial post in this thread
Unfortunately, it's limited to 5 pics, but I wanted to share a side shot of how my face has changed over the last 167 pounds.
Kinda fascinating if you scroll between the 2 really fast.. looks like a frog inflating/deflating it's vocal sac thanks to the reduction of my neck girth lol

We'll both reach our goal eventually, bud. Just a matter of time.

Remarkable job man! Truly well done!
I look forward to seeing some pictures at the 200 lb mark!
Youre journey reminds me so much of my own. Its really encouraging to see that other people occasionally fall off track and get right back up and continue pushing pushing pushing towards what they want. Inspiring man.
Keep it up!

Thanks guys :]
Yeah, I injured my foot on April 10th and decided to take a week off from doing cardio. I was 209 at that point. Even though I stuck to my diet and did strength training, I put on 7 pounds and was at 216 when I weighed in the following Sunday morning. Then, I binged a bit that day since Sunday's are usually my cheat day - not good when you haven't done any real exercise for a while.
I stepped on the scale the next morning to see myself at 225! :\ So, yeah, 16 pounds in 8 days? Oofah. I know it wasn't 'real' weight per say - mostly just water and waste in my body. But even still, it was really discouraging to see that number showing steadily on the scale. It sickened me how easy it was to make the numbers on the scale go up at first. I was pretty upset and miserable for the first couple days while trying (again) to get out of the 220's.
I managed to finally wrap my head around it and just accept that setbacks like this can happen if you don't take proper care. I had been exercising 7 days a week doing at least 3-5 miles a day on the treadmill. I neglected taking proper rest days and kept pushing myself too hard because I felt I could handle it. I mean, I was feeling good and wasn't having any problems for months with this routine. My body finally just said 'enough is enough' and the resulting injury set me back almost 7 weeks :[
I was soaking my foot daily in epsom salt and rubbing ointment on it regularly after I sprained it. I obviously couldn't resume my usual cardio regimen immediately as my foot still had some pain when I walked, but once I started using the treadmill again, I just kept everything slow and gradual for a while. My foot eventually began to feel better and the weight started coming off again.
Well, it took about 3 weeks, but I've managed to re-lose all the weight I had accumulated since that incident. My foot is 100% better and I'm back to my usual regimen (with appropriate rest of course) and weighed in at 207.6 today
It was a good learning experience in the end. Pushing yourself is important, but you must rest!

Thank you for the inspiration...continue the great work! You are looking great!
Thank you for sharing your story, Frogged, you truly are an inspiration for me personally.
You have done a big job already, it must feel very empowering to accomplish something like this.
How much have you still got to lose?
200 pounds --- amazing!
Also your general attitude is so great. Keep it up.

Thank you all for the kind responses! I truly appreciate all the positivity =)
I'm so close to being under 200! I weighed in at 201.8 this morning, so if I can manage to lose 2lb next week, I'll be in the 100's
The last time I can remember being in the 100's when I was around 12 or 13 and weighed about 155
I'll throw up another before/after shot here since my thread was bumped. On the left is from September 2009 when I was 360lb. The right is a pic I took this morning for my monthly progress log
175lb down and counting
The fact that I'm keeping others inspired really helps me stay focused!
Thanks again for your continued support everyone
