A couple of people have said to put this here. Last couple of months have been really hard for me personally but I've got through it. Took a long break from the board as life was hectic and I was turning nasty and that's something I needed to work on. But one thing I did keep up with was my weight loss target and as of today I have lost 82lbs in just under a year (July 26th is me one year anniversary)
And since I'm a softballer and this is a softball board I'm using softball pictures to show my progress.
Before
After
Last season I was struggling to run the bases. I would often have someone bat for me because if I had to run the bases I would be struggling to pitch. The second photo was taken at a tournament where I pitched three games, played seven and ran the bases more times than I can count. I rarely hit more than a one bagger, that tournament I hit a two bagger (that should have been a three, still not fast!) Having said that, playing a two day weekend is MUCH harder at 28 than it was at 18. Could barely walk after that weekend.
I went from a resting heart rate of over 80 to one of 57 (for my age that puts me in the athlete range!) I run 4km runs as a hobby. (yeah I'm nuts)
I have another 70lb to lose but I'll get there and then there's masters!
