Great work! I wouldn't have the confidence to show pictures of myself on an open forum, so you have definitely made enough progress to feel comfortable doing that.
I guess I didn't take my contract seriously, because instead of going down two lbs this month, I have gained about 3.
I haven't even tried though. Not in the least. I have eaten healthier, but not less.

hey i understand! a couple years ago, i went through a phase of eating a giant mound of steamed vegetables or a huge pile of asparagus with a huge portion of lean meat like turkey or chicken or fish every single night... healthy food just wayyyyy too much lol! it was better than the same volume of pasta and garlic bread of course, but it'll only get you so far til you gotta eat less or exercise more, ya know. in my case now, if i want to lose more fat then i have no choice but to eat less. i can't be any more active than I am right now hahaha! the last 3 months i've proven that at least.

so.. I am up another 3 lbs.. Yay... Lots of poor eating choices over the weekend.
Today's lunch consists of a salad, and a veggie bowl and a protein shake. I need to reverse some of the damage I have done.

My Father-in-Law had a Heart Attack on Saturday, and I think he eats pretty healthy most of the time, at least in comparison to me. My father died a year ago from a heart attack, and all this is kind of slowly processing in my head.

Yep, its true. The doctors said my FIL was doing everything correct, with a good diet, exercise daily, and keeping busy, but he just had a hereditary glitch.
I was down 2.5 lbs this morning, so I recreated my lunch from yesterday since the wife went to the grocery store last night, to see if I can bring it down a little more.

my dad's cousin and cousin in law were both super healthy, both of them biked a lot and ran 5ks and such. both super lean. one had a heart attack in his 40s, and she got cancer in late 50s i believe. they're both still ticking, but sure is confusing to see things like that.
