Hey...this place looks familiar

Today's weigh in: 207.4 (NEW LOW!!!)






So, I've been gone for a minute, but life is absolutely crazy at the moment, with my wife over my mother in law's every night taking care of her with her broken leg, and me taking care of everything here. It's been interesting to say the least. I'm going to make this quick because of that as well.






Things have been a bit frustrating on the weight loss front lately, but I'm starting back in the right direction now, so they SHOULD get better. I'm kinda thinking that I was dumb to put my goal for this month on my daughter's birthday too. I've never missed a weight loss goal, but I have to admit that with 7.4 pounds left to lose, and twelve days to do it, things don't look so good right now. I'll keep trying though, and if I do miss the damn goal, it won't be for lack of effort. But enough defeatism. Someone (I think it was Brian) was asking from some before and after pics. I don't really do the whole shirt off thing, and if you could see my skin condition you'd know why, but these should make the point pretty well


BEFORE










I'm the guy standing next to Tuck. This kind of gives you an idea of where my gut started out at. This was a few weeks before I started on my journey, I think.



This next pic is a bit wierd. Wifey is currently asleep and I just took it. I had to hold the camera way over my head because the flash was blotting me out in the mirror. This seems to have worked though. Enjoy:



AFTER


Hopefully, that shows everyone what they wanted to see. I think the difference is pretty obvious. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll talk to you all soon.

It seems like you've lost quite a bit since I've even seen you last. You look 10 years younger.

Jim...awesome work you have done. :)

Brian said...

yea good stuff. That's awesome. I think even if you're not into doing pics of yourself on your blog, you should still take them for yourself so you can compare. Every time I get an idea in my head that i'm not making progress, or not enough progress, I take another pic and I'm proven wrong. Can't argue with that.

Anyway, great work!

You look great - big difference. Your hard work & consistency has paid off. I have been a little off the blog roll lately, but I was thinking about you the other day, wondering how you are doing with the loss of your godmother. Hope you are well!
