When I started this journey: I was a 5xl shirt, always tired, health on the decline, and extremely uncomfortable in my body. Now, I’m a 2x/3x, more energy, workout 6 days a week, and all my blood tests are in the healthy range! I’m not at my goal, but I’m so proud of my progress! #weightlossstory

Same sweater…73lbs less of me! #weightloss

4.2lbs lost this week even though I had a pulled back!

I was really bummed earlier this week that I wouldn’t get to lift weights and worried I wouldn’t lose.

This just shows the importance of getting in movement however you can!

73.2lbs lost so far!

70lbs lost as of this morning! Life changes and the support of @sandro7114.bsky.social have allowed me to not just diet, but change the course of my health! #weightloss

Another #weightloss first for me today! For the first time in over 15 years, I was able to buckle the seatbelt on my airline seat without the use of a seatbelt extender. The Delta flight attendant literally gave me a small cheer and fist bump! Here’s to more weight loss firsts ahead!

Right at 70lbs lost as of this morning, and the journey is just beginning! #weightloss

These 2 apps have become the most powerful tools in my belt for my weight loss! Tracking my full nutrient intake as well as a diary of my exercise is helping me create a lifestyle change versus a temporary diet. #weightloss

2lbs lost this week for a total of 65lbs! Also increased the max weight on my chest press, pec fly, tricep extension, leg press and calf press! Added core to my cardio days. It’s a slow process, but the goal is to lose weight slow and steady so it’s healthy and maintainable. #weightloss

Sunday Weigh In: Lost 3lbs this week while increasing my max weights at the gym. That’s a total of 63lbs lost so far! One of the biggest parts of this journey is aligning my physical AND mental health. Setting boundaries and respecting the boundaries you set is tough, but it’s necessary. #weightloss

Healthy food can be delicious and visually beautiful. Tonight, I tried my hand at a Butternut & Pearl Barley Risotto with Chicken that had only 570 calories per serving and full of heart healthy ingredients! I think mine turned out almost as good as the picture!

Sunday Weigh-in: I’m down 4lbs this week and a total of 60lbs since starting this journey!!! I’m so excited for the journey ahead! Starting weight 447lbs. Current weight 387lbs! #weightloss #healthjourney

Gym callus….that means I get an award right?

Sunday Weigh In Celebration: lost 4.2lbs this week! Went up on all my weights at the gym. Broke my cardio record! Total weight loss of 54.4lbs since starting my #healthjourney and so proud of what I’ve achieved! #weightloss

Heart health does NOT have to be boring: Pan Seared Tilapia finished off with a quick poach, green beans with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and onion, and sweet potato mash! #hearthealth

I’m starting with the man in the mirror… #weightloss #fiitnessjourney

A little morning rope play…

50lbs lost as of today! #weightloss

Oh, I’ve never even been to Tampa.

I used to live in SF so it’s possible that we’ve met. Not sure.

Early morning workouts have become something I actually enjoy on this #weightloss journey at #planetfitness

This Sunday’s weigh in marks a new milestone! For the first time in over 10 years, my weight starts with a 3! Yes, I have a long way to go, but this is such a big deal for me and am excited for the road ahead! Total weight loss so far: 48lbs! #weightloss

For many people, walking 2.12 miles and 5k steps isn’t a big deal. For me, it’s a new milestone. 3 months ago I would not have been able to do this due to knee pain and exhaustion. Today, I did it with energy to spare! #personalrecord #weightloss #littlewins @planetfitness.bsky.social

Sunday celebration post: 4.2lbs lost this week for a total weight loss of 44.2lbs!

This shirt used to struggle to stay buttoned, but now I can pull it away from my body! Little things bring big smiles! #weightloss

I know I look a bit like a dad on vacation in Hawaii, but I ain’t mad at this look today! The weight is coming off, and I’m much happier with what I’m seeing in the mirror! #weightloss

I’ve lost 40lbs, kept it off & established a diet/exercise regiment that is showing results. Mounjaro is helping, but it’s not magic, so you have to do the work!

This is the most weight I’ve lost with no relapse in over 10 years! Special shot out to my ride or die, @sandro7114.bsky.social

It may not look like it from the picture, but I’m really starting to enjoy early morning workouts. #weightloss #planetfitness

Those who know me well will be unsurprised to know I have a spreadsheet to track my progress.
