I was in the middle of writing a long-winded post on how to motivate yourself to lose weight again and I simply couldn’t finish writing it.  Nothing should motivate you, or me, more than this:

On the left:  4XL shirt, 48-inch waist pants, sleep apnea, high blood pressure.
On the right:  Large shirt, 34-inch waist pants and a clean bill of health.

All in a matter of 42 weeks.

What does it look like to lose 125 pounds?

I realized some time ago that the best motivation to lose weight wasn’t relayed by typing on my keyboard — but by posting two simple pictures side by side.

Not only do before and after pictures motivate other people (my weight loss pictures is by far the most visited page), but they motivate me as well.  The before shots remind me why I started running.

The after shots motivate me to keep running.
