First pic was in November of 2019, wife separated from me a couple weeks later and eventually told me one of the many reasons was she was no longer attracted to me. I gained 100lbs from when we met to a couple years after marriage (about 5 years). I never paid attention honestly and she never said anything.
I lost about 20 lbs pretty quickly in the first couple months but began taking medication that one of the side effects included weight gain, then covid hit. My first step was to completely change how I ate and went down to about 1200 calories a day.
Wasn't exercising much other than walking a mile once or twice a week. Around May my wife started distancing herself even more and I was beginning to suspect she was thinking about divorce. So I kicked things up a notch and started a weight loss program with weekly meetings with a medical doctor. I was fortunate my job paid 80% of it. Thats when I started losing weight more consistently and rapidly. They also recommended about 1150 protein calories a day.
A month later I was hospitalized for contemplating suicide and thats the day my wife decided she wanted to file for divorce. My depression grew but instead of plateuing (sp?) it motivated me even more and my weight loss sped up a bit. Continuing my diet and I was able to do a lot more exercise by walking more frequently, using my elliptical and resistance bands.
Today is about year from when the first pic was taken and the second pic was taken today. I still have about 50 lbs to go to my final goal and once the divorce is finalized next month I'll be even more motivated.
317lbs to 237 lbs
