Below is a picture of me from early 2015. I took it the day I decided to join the Army. I weighed 207 pounds at the time and had to lose 50 pounds to get in. That took six months of walking uphill 10 or 15 miles on a treadmill every day. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and is still a source of pride for me. Unfortunately, I gained back a lot of it, and I weigh 184 pounds as of this morning.
For comparison, here's a pic of me from about 2008 when I lived in Tanzania. I weighed 129 pounds at the time. I'm still not sure how I got so thin over there. I wasn't even trying to lose weight. I ate well and my only exercise was about an hour of walking per day.
