Here Iam towards the end of my deployment in Iraq with the Army. With 7 weeks left of the tour, I attacked the chow hall with a vengeance! I was popping out of my seams. I had lost some friends and I think I was depressed and ate too often and much.

I'm About to run a 10 miler, this is prior to discovering CrossFit.

Here Iam towards the end of my deployment in Iraq with the Army. With 7 weeks left of the tour, I attacked the chow hall with a vengeance! I was popping out of my seams. I had lost some friends and I think I was depressed and ate too often and much.

Two months after this Pic I began with cardio, 10 WHOLE mins!

STILL, this is difficult to look at, I just wanna crawl underneath my bed and not come out. Pics are deff motivating. How did it get this far? and I think I look good!! CRAZY!

Its so difficult to look at this, its hard. Considering I was 222 a year ago. Maybe its a good thing I never took pics one year ago, I may have not started in fear of never making it this far.

I dont see my back often (duh)... Makes me realize how much fat can be on he back of a person.

I dont have much complaint on my legs, still some fat, but I realize MOST of my fat is abdominal and around the waist/lower back. Decent legs?

As far as my legs go, its the ONE thing I do like right now. Until 2 months ago I NEVER tarined legs, now I LOVE it! Not too shabby, any comments?

I wish I had taken pics a year ago when I was 40 pounds heavier!! Its just amazing how stubborn my abdominal fat is, ugghh..incredibly frustarting.

hhmm....compared to two weeks ago, I "think" I can tell SOME difference... I'll leave it to you experts out there! Feedback puhhleeease! haha

Ok, this is a back pic, 10 days since my last one. Its not tooo much diff! However, I'm still having body image issues and feel as tho my "other" pics from today dont show much progress in a month. Plus today's pics were taken first thing in morning on an empty stomach!! haha (unlike other pics in the P.M.)

I'm getting more definition, but I only lost 4 pouns in 6 weeks and I WORK my butt off...ugghhhh.....

Lost about 5-6 pounds since last pic from 5-6 weeks ago.

Well, once again, progress is slow but coming along. I still have not found the workout/eating balance. Still unsure how many claories and cardio to do per day. Looking to lose wieght right now, not add a ton of muscle.

Gotta take off 10 more!!
