My transformation
 

I have struggled with my weight all my life. I have forever been on a quest to be fit and healthy with a good body. In my early twenties I finally got the ball rolling and got into fairly good shape for the first time in my life. I felt the best I had ever felt and thought I would never go back to how I was. Fast forward to my thirties and I became a father of twins. My regime and good habits slipped away. After a few years I found myself right back where I started - and I hated it. I knew what I had to do but I could not get any momentum going. It was so much harder with all the extra responsibilities in my life. I had to rebuild my way of life from the ground up. It took many false starts before I finally gained some traction and saw consistent progress. I have not posted much in the past and have generally been quite private with my progress. Now that I have created a whole new mindset and way of making progress I am hoping that I can share more. Here is a before and after picture. On the left is me around 4 years ago when I was in terrible shape and not in a good place. On the right is me today around 60 pounds lighter feeling better than ever.

Wow. You did good, dude! WTG! Now the job is to keep what you earned.

Great job, Keep up the progress, stay with this for life. keep moving and working out. Everything is connected in this WOE. Healthy eating, good sleep, Stay moving, relax, de stress, it is all part of the life style.

Congratulations! You should be very proud!

Thank you - I certainly have learned that the hard way after losing all of my progress before. It's so easy to let things slip when you reach a goal. Your wise words are appreciated! :thup:

Thank you. You make very good points - its much more than just what you eat. Exercise, sleep, and keeping stress low have all been important to me.

Well done you! Looking great :clap:
