Ok, so I've never posted before pics, but here goes...

Until my junior year of HS I was around 155 and more or less happy with how I looked. My activity level lowered a bit my junior year, and then a few serious ankle injuries all but stopped my activity. I used to play competitive basketball year round. . Anywho, I graduated HS around 185 and added another 25ish pounds the year and a half after that. My heaviest weight was around 210-215. I'm not entirely sure because I avoided the scale like the plague...

Before.jpg

This wasn't even my heaviest, but I can't find any pics from then. I think I'm around 190-195 here. I'm 5'9'' (almost) btw.

This was taken early last month (February 2012). I'm weighing about 165 here.

During.jpg

I'm still planning to lose another 20-25 pounds, but I just realized that I'm more than halfway to my ultimate goal and thought I'd share.
