Hey everyone, I hit 60 lbs down today, so I figured I'd post some progress pics for the first time. These first three pics are between 1-4 years ago, when I hovered between 295 - 315. (I'm the really big and tall guy in all the photos)

Last thanksgiving I stepped on the scale and saw 312 pounds looking up at me. I'd used mfp before with a little success, so I knew what I needed to do to lose the weight. I've been decent about dieting and working out since then, but overall it's just been a lifestyle change. I still eat what I want, when I want, I just don't binge on entire pizzas or 4 McDonald's burgers. Anyway, this is me today, at 252. (I'm 6'4")

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the amazing support! :)

    Thanks!

    I'm 6'4", so I'd like to get down to the 215-220 range, but I'll care a lot more about what I look like than I will the number on the scale haha.
