A year ago tomorrow I was 260 lbs, had a dead end job a sandwich shop, no love life, and often times feeling bummed out by all these things. On 4/20/2011 i found this site and signed up. I don't even remember how I found it or what my initial reason was for trying to get healthier, but I did. And my life couldn't be better. I'm down to 200lbs, have a new career with a future, and have found a girl i love. It has been a great year!


first time posting pictures, hope it works

    Rage, you have made GIANT steps..you look terrific buddy..you really do.

    This journey never really has an 'end point' as such, but I really hope I will be around when that day comes when you hit your goals.

    Congratulations, my friend!

    Thanks for kind words everyone, I really appreciate it. I was at a point where I assumed is allways be the fat guy in the group. Just goes to show we can always become the person we wanna be, just takes some work and dedication! And to all my NFL thanks for all the support!

    This is the EXACT kind of loss I want to make, but I have to lose 120 instead of just 60. my goal weight is 200 pounds as well! What did you do to lose it, if you don't mind sharing?
