The enclosed picture is one I took 6 years ago. A hospital room, I had a ruptured appendix. If I would've been half an hour later I'd be dead. It made me think. I was already overweight at that time. I should really change my life......nothing changed. Till last year, a possible lung embolism put me back in the ER. Thankfully no embolism, but high resting heart rate, blood pressure etc. By that time, besides my wife I had a 2 year old kid. What the heck am I doing I thought, something had to change, I was determined.

I found fitness blender programs and healthy food and a reduction of my calorie intake. Today I've met and surpassed my goal.

I I started at 110 kg and am now at 78.9 kg, a 31.1 kg loss. Yay me.

This didn't go without struggle and even weight gain (because of unhealthy eating)

I feel much fitter and happier!

Thanks Fitness Blender! (before and after shot in the replies)
