I will post my Story from my profile to help those have not heard it. Then below that is a link to my Photo album that has atleast 10 before and 10 progress pics. The progress ones are from March 2012 til today (8-17-12). My current total lost is around 144lbs.

*My story*
I was your average "husky" kid on school and In Middle School I was around 5'10" 185lbs in wrestling club. I also "was" going to be on the football team until they did not warn me about wrapping feet with new cleats...So I tore off the back of my heal (huge blister). Around Summer after 7th grade I was put on a medication that caused my weight to go from the 185 to around 330 in about 6 months, this is when I was diagnosed with Diabetes and Hypertension. I Was also in a Very bad auto accident about 3 years ago and have had a lot of leg troubles due to the injuries. About 9 months ago my Endocrinologist(diabetic dr) Advised me to try a strict Diet that was high protien and low cal/carb(started 11-4-11) and Surprising to myself and others I was able to stick with it. Recently I have been altering the diet to add more variety w'o adding extra calories or losing protein. I am proud to say that Between my faith and this diet I have now Lost over 140lbs in that 9 months w'o out any health risks. In fact its just the opposite, I no longer need to take ANY medications for Diabetes or Hypertension . I am currently a member of a local fitness center and work out for around 1-2 hrs about 3-4 time per week. I went from 3 and 4x shirts and 52 pants to M/L and size 34 pants. Thanks for reading and remember If a stubborn lazy guy Like me can boost energy and Confuse the neighbors ( they literally thought my wife switched guys) then ANYONE can do it. If you set yourself to it and don't give up YOU WILL SUCCEED!

    HAHAHAHA!! The neighbors thought your wife had a new man!! HAHAHA!! That's FUNNY!!

    I can't see the pics on your link, but I did see the pics on your profile. I think the change is totally AMAZING!!

    And I like how you gave the credit to God. I know I had to pray just to start THINKING of doing something about my weight.

    Thank you sooooo much for sharing.
