2 Months In — 40 Pounds Down, Getting Stronger

Two months in, and my notes from May 20 had me officially down 40 pounds.

That was a pretty big milestone.

The gym was becoming a regular part of what I was doing instead of something I was just trying to start doing. I was still working on getting stronger, moving more, and building some consistency.

Around this point, I also added MOTS-C to what I was using.

One of the reasons I was interested in MOTS-C was energy and exercise performance. As I was spending more time at the gym, I was paying attention not only to weight loss, but also to how I felt while being more active.

Looking back, Month 2 feels like the point where this started becoming about more than losing weight.

40 pounds was gone. You can see how the numbers were changing on my progress page.

But I was also going to the gym, moving more, and beginning to think about getting healthier and stronger—not simply getting smaller.

And I was only two months in.

By my three-month update, other people were starting to notice the changes too.
