I used to weigh right around 260 lbs back in 2006, but managed to get down in the 220's and stay there by doing little things like cutting out soda. Back in March, I signed up for MFP, but didn't really start doing anything with it until April. I've lost 35 lbs from my starting weight on here of 220 and have gone from wearing size 38 pants to size 32. My ultimate goal is to get down to 170 to 175. Anyways, I thought I would celebrate by posting some pics.
This is 2005 and I'm right around 260 lbs, size 42 pants.

    I think more John Cusack but then it isn't just looks, he shares that melancholy sense of humor with him. The one he gets most often (he hates it) is Vince Gill. When we were first met it was Paul McCartney. That's what he'd like to get back to. LOL
