Weight loss in update letter?

[GoSteelers96]

Hi all. I’m going to be sending in an update letter to a school that I’m waitlisted at soon. I’m wondering if it would be appropriate to include my weight loss/weight training/diet in the letter?

Since June, I’ve lost 20 lbs through weight training, diet, and consistent walking. It’s been a big part of my gap year and this is a lifestyle change I plan to continue throughout my life. It’s taken a lot of work, dedication, and time to meal prep and fit in all of the exercise throughout my week while working full time and volunteering. Do you think I should include it? If I do, can I include a picture of my progress?
