Well, I guess that should really be 118, because things have not been going well for me. I've been plateaued for about two weeks until this week when I suddenly started GAINING weight instead. Ugh. So, I figured I needed to look at more pictures, inspire myself... And, I might as well post these here to inspire others too.

Before: 295.4 pounds

After: 178 (Lost 4 pounds after taking this picture, gained some back as I've said, so... whatever.)

    You look like a teenager now! What did you do?

    In terms of the "plateau", do you strength train? When was the last time you took a break from your diet? As you get closer to goal weight your body needs that reset. Congrats!
