GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In February of 2010 I went to the doctor's and weighed in at 344 pounds. Today I weighed in at 118. That's 2.5 years and 226 pounds lost through diet and exercise.

Here was me at a wedding reception in August of 2008:

And this is from our Christmas card in 2009:

And here are a couple of pics from this morning:

Quite a difference, huh?

I can't believe how much my life has changed. In some ways I still feel fat and in others, I don't even remember what it was like to be fat. Exercise, eating right, and enjoying life is so part of my world now.

I have a little fear about entering maintenance, but I'm very hopeful that I have made this journey in a way that will allow it to be a life long change...
