When I was at 94kg:
Now looking at my body:
Before:
After:
Noticeable changes, stomach smaller, collarbones more visible. Most of the fat which has left seems to have left my torso.Side view:
Update:
Changes not so visible with the side on view.
Looking back at the photos I've taken when I was at my highest, I ask myself why I did that to my body. I think that the answer is complex, it was a case of being in an environment where I had easy access to junk food (Becky buys a large amount of junk food and keeps it lying around), plus I guess I didn't really care. Or at least care enough.
I'll post measurements in the next few days, and compare with those at my maximum.
It is time to talk about how long it's taken - 19 months. That's 750kj a day, just over 1 1/2 apples equivalent a day. One period when I gained, wasting about 6 months, and another period where I just maintained, without gaining or losing much, wasting another 5 months. The cause of the first delay was I went to a high carb diet after being on a low carb one, the other period - well I think I just had had enough, and wanted a break for a while.
There were LOTS of little gains, you know, a few hundred grams here, a few kilograms there. Over and over again. The sort referred to in my Piha holiday challenge that I've got going until the end of June. If I hadn't had any gains I would have reached halfway in about 145 days, not 587. That's four times as long! I don't expect perfection but it would have been nice to not have so many little, and not so little changes of direction, over and over again (about 30 bumps roughly).
Enough of the negative talk. I have changed my eating style substantially, and in the last 44 days I have yet to have a single 'bump'. More on that later.
Half done, half to go!
I think there is a visible change in your face. Definite thinning. And really, we don't need to see EVERYTHING! We'll take your word for it on some changes. LOL Great job on the halfway mark. :-)
