Health Journey: I've lost 100 kg in less than two years!

I've finally reached my ultimate goal of losing 100 kilos.
And I've actually achieved this in less than two years !!!

Actually, it was 103 weeks and one day... BUT WHO'S COUNTING !!!

To really understand this transformation, check out this awesome animated gif of the old me, 2 years ago, morphing into the new me!

And here you can see the comparison of images from my DEXA scans for the last 21 months (I only discovered the DEXA scans three months into my journey).

I love how you can see the 'yellow fat' disappearing from my body over time.

And it is amazing that I was so huge, I didn't actually fit in the scanning area originally, and the technician had to 'cut my body in half, and then mirror it' to get as accurate a scan as possible.

This graph, which is part of the DEXA, shows my fat vs lean mass change over time. Note that as I started my DEXA scans three months in, my start weight was 'only' 169 kg, not the 185.5 kg three months earlier.

I really wish I had started the DEXAs from day one to really understand my how unhealthy I was at the start of my journey.

This is another great visual to show how much I have progressed over time.

This shows my start weight at 185.5 kg and finish weight of 85.5 kg and my journey over the two years.

So how much is 100 kilograms?

Well, I'm glad you asked.

44 blocks of this fat
This is an anatomically correct representation of 2.2 kilos - 5 pounds of human body fat.
I've lost 44 of these !

And for a laugh, here are some other cool comparisons to give us some perspective.

I've now lost...
