So I am losing weight at a good steady pace and loving life. I worked a big party as a bouncer the other night and there were some people there who have not seen me in a couple of months who did not even recognize me until I talked to them. Its hard to see it day to day in myself, but I had some pictures made JUST before I started the diet and if I hold them up next to me in a mirror I can definantly see a difference. Thanks to everyone who is encouraging me to do this. Gone from a 44 to a 38 in pants and from 3x to a 2x in shirt size. I can wear an XL but its still a little tight in the mid section.. LOL

    A little update. Got on the scale this morning for kicks and grins. There was more good loss, so I tried on my "goal" T-shirt and it fits. Its not tight in the middle even though I still have a gut. I do not feel as if I have to stretch it out to wear it. My back has stopped hurting as much since I lost weight. I have lost 67 lbs so far. I went to the store and picked up a 50lb bag of dog food and a 15 lb bag. I cannot believe I was carrying that much extra weight all the time. Thanks to all my friends on MFP and off for your support. Will update more later.

    84 lbs gone. I feel so damn good. I want to thank my beautiful wife for her encouragement. I also want to thank my good friends Tony and Debbie for their support. Without all of you this would not have been possible.
