On March 4, 2011, I was diagnosed with Diabetes... and told that I weighed 306 pounds. I knew something needed to change. Immediately, I started to change. I lost almost 42 pounds... but, I stumbled and went backwards.

On September 4, 2012, I was only down 25 pounds from March 4, 2011. I was now 281.

Today... I am 246. It's weird... but, I can't tell a difference on my own. But, when I put the pictures side-by-side... I definitely can. The picture below is the 3 stages I mentioned above.

    Oh... BTW ... I've reversed the Diabetes. I now have a 5.1 A1C. My doctors are beyond excited about this.

    And... thanks everyone for the comments. :smile:
