Anyone else on a fitness/health journey?
The first photo is from October 20th of last year when I went to see my biological father. I was right at 237 lbs. That exact day, I took my blood pressure using my sister's cuff. It was 192 over 131. They actually made me redo it because they thought I didn't have it on right. Same results. How I didn't have a stroke or something is beyond me.
On the flight back to Memphis from Baltimore, my blood sugar dropped super low to the point where I almost rang the flight attendant to request landing due to severe dizziness and some other effects.
My wife really laid into me about my eating habits and lack of exercise and what really hit home was when she told me the kids would grow up without their dad because I was on a quick road to an early death.
I didn't get to start really going to the gym until mid January and then of course the shutdown hampered us for a month until we were able to get our garage turned into a home gym. I still maintain my Planet Fitness membership because they have some stuff we don't, especially that hydromassage chair...
Anyways, the first photo is from October 20th, 2019. The second was taken on my birthday this year, October 19th. I'm down to about 195 and dropped 6 pant sizes. Feeling pretty good about my health and knowing that I should be around for a long time for my kids.
Please share your transformation photos and stories!

Good for you! I'm trying to drop some pounds, too (although, no major amount like you have -- you are quite an inspiration.)
