Crossfire's weight loss journey

Many of you know the battle I've had losing weight and keeping it off.  I started doing aerobics regularly on January 1st and have been monitoring my food and activity closely.  I've been making small changes slowly over the past several weeks and I am proud to share that I have dropped 35 pounds so far this year.  Once I get my weight down below 250, Im going to reconsider the one year fitness challenge...I might wait until I get closer to 200, but I wont even consider it until 250.

Your photo skills seem to be better when you're fat. So you looked better then.

That's pretty amazing. Seems like you have the willpower and you've made it a priority. Now just give it a bit more time. 35 pounds is great progress in just four months. I bet you are down another seventy by September.

Nice job

Awesome! I need to gain weight; I forget to sleep and forget to eat a lot.

You're doing a fantastic job, man! That's a true show of dedication if I ever saw one.

You're doing well, and it shows! Though if when you exercise it isn't as a montage set to "Eye of the Tiger," you're doing it wrong.

Congrats! This is the culmination of hard work and sacrifice. Be proud! xx

All the hard work and determination paid off

Took measurements yesterday...I am down 3 inches in my waistline.

Outstanding work my friend, Keep it up!

The battle of 100 pounds begins with a single stair step.

Another victory!

As of Wednesday morning, I am Diabetes free and off my meds.

Congratulations! You're doing something truly heroic here, saving your own life and inspiring others to do the same.

it was either that or buy bigger underwear

Diabetes-free is an amazing accomplishment. I truly admire your discipline. Crossfire the Crusader to his own rescue! Now you can write a book and potentially save millions more.

Any updates, Crossfire?

Not at the moment...been running like crazy, but havent weighed in for a couple weeks...My nutritionist appointment with the VA is Thursday...hope to have good news then.

Awesome work sir.

Sounds like good work, especially losing the diabetes. My father changed his diet some, but he's still diabetic
