Badger's Pictorial Progress

[CronicBadger]

I feel confident enough to post a few photos now.
So far I've lost about 45 Kg since late 2009, about 35 of those since March 2010 when I snapped and decided once and for all to change myself into a thin, healthy person. I reckon I still have another 15 to 20 kilos to go, and a few bad lifestyle habits to lose, but the end is in sight!

There are three sets of photos here, each set comprising two photos taken 12 months apart - around Christmas 2009 and 2010.

Set 1
Head shots
Note the change from fatty cheeks, jowls and neck.


Set 2
Trunk shots
The upper half of my body seemed to have been engorged with fat in every nook and cranny. Most of it is gone and I can now actually feel my collar bone, ribs, spine, shoulder bones, swivel sockets, etc. It's taken a while to get used to it. See the hint of tummy flesh near my straining shirt buttons? I've since lost so many cm from my gut that that shirt now fits me like a large bathrobe.



Set 3
Full length shots
I'm about 120 Kg in the first photo, 84 Kg in the second. What you can't see in the first photo is that there are solid layers of fat encasing me. Looking back on this I simply cannot imagine why I felt so comfortable with it.



With a bit more perseverance I'll be at my ideal weight, shape and fitness level by June this year.

You look great! Awesome work.
Too bad there's no cheering smiley, I'd have posted it.

LOL did i get a shock when I clicked in here, i thought you were a girl cronic!

That aside, great pics, its wonderful to see how much you've changed just over the last year. Almost looks like a different person, especially the face shots! A lot of hard work paying off you must feel great, so much healthier

It's been six months and eight kilos between photo updates, so I've finally got around to presenting another set of before and after photos.

The one on the left was taken in February 2008, at some point between 120 and 130 kilos - I shied away from the bathroom scales during that period. On the right is me from July 2011 at 77 kilos, that image has been flipped horizontally to make it easier to compare with the older one.



My permanent switch to a healthy lifestyle has meant that I feel so much better and different that I cannot even contemplate going back to that unhealthy way of life.

Amazing work. You don't even look like the same person. And you look soooo much younger now. I'd put you at 35+ in the one on the left, mid-late 20's in the one on the right

really inspiring. Congrats
