112 pounds gone! 13 to go....

I've posted a few before-and-current pics before, but it's been a while.
I started in 2005, when my highest recorded weight was 270 (but I estimate I topped out at about 280). I lost about 40 pounds by the end of 2006. Had some major medical issues introduce themselves to me, but luckily, only gained back 5 pounds and maintained there.
Re-started in March 2012 at 235 when weight-related health issues were affecting things important to my life and I told myself I had no choice; I HAD to drop the pounds.
As of last week's weigh-in, I'm at 158.2 pounds, for a total lost of just shy of 112 pounds. My goal is 245, but my body's fighting these last 13 pounds. I'll get there! But it might not be exactly on my schedule. :happy:
Photos are a little blurry, sorry! (Maybe my reward for reaching goal should be some decent photo editing software!)
