Before and After

Just to give you an idea of the physical changes that took place in my life over the past 16 months. These are before and after photos that are taken in the same shirt and shorts.

There were positive changes that came from this transformation. I no longer have to take hypertension medication, acid reflux medication, or irritable bowel syndrome medication. Weight loss certainly contributed to me becoming independent of all but one medication – Synthroid, which I will take for the rest of my life no matter what because of an autoimmune disease that I suffer from called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis which basically means that my body sends antibodies to attack the thyroid because it appears similar in nature to “threats.”
